Working Group 9 and published by PIANC. This book was released on 1990 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The availability of zero-emission fuels infrastructure, including onshore electric power supply, will be key to enable greenhouse gas (GHG) zero-emission vessels and increase the competitiveness of IWT as a whole, at a time when other modes of transport are reducing their ecological footprint. The objective of the TG is in line with the declaration of PIANC, namely developing approaches to decarbonise the operation of port and navigation infrastructure (i.e. move to GHG zero emissions), whilst at the same time enabling the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from vessels by providing the necessary facilities, infrastructure and, where appropriate, incentives. For this purpose, TG 234 was tasked to identify knowledge gaps and major challenges that need to be urgently addressed and advise PIANC on further actions."--Introduction.
