The Port of Barcelona has celebrated a significant milestone by welcoming its first container ship, the MSC Mette, which switched off its engines while docked, achieving a zero-emissions call. This impressive 24,000 TEU vessel was handled at Hutchison Ports’ BEST container terminal, where it was connected to shore power. By utilizing shore power, the MSC Mette eliminated emissions during its time in port, highlighting the port's commitment to sustainable practices. This initiative not only contributes to cleaner air quality in the port area but also sets a precedent for future operations, encouraging other shipping lines to adopt similar eco-friendly measures. The successful handling of the MSC Mette underscores the Port of Barcelona’s dedication to becoming a leader in sustainable shipping and port operations.
