But these lights are also a shining example of how a global project, through regional centres, can help individual countries’ ports and shipping sectors improve energy efficiency, cut emissions and clean up local air quality.
The Maritime Technology Cooperation Centre (MTCC) Pacific – one of five regional centres established under the IMO-led Global MTCC Network (GMN) project – helped the Solomon Islands port carry out full energy efficiency and emissions audit.
It has been estimated that savings of up to 75% can be made in the shipping and port industries just by using existing technology and doing things a little bit differently.
