This study aims to Cold-ironing applied to new building ships of ocean going area from now. Cold-ironing, know as Alternative Marine Power (AMP) is basically the concept of plugging merchant & passenger ships into shore based power while in port. container ships, passenger ships and reefer ships are the best candidates for it. In California state, with the use of port cold-ironing, the goal is to reduce emission of exhaust gas using it to be 80 percent by 2020. It will be achieved that not only reducing air pollution but economical aspect for shipping. Although, this regulation is limited in California state at present, sure that it will be soon expanded into many countries.
