Check out the first shore-powered terminal in the world for oil tankers; a school that is training the next generation of technicians for the LNG trucks; a new green locomotive; and what goes into designing and constructing more eco-friendly buildings.
All that and new host Brandi Williams in the latest episode of the Port of Long Beach's award-winning television program, "Pulse of the Port."
On June 3, the Port of Long Beach dedicated the first shore-powered terminal in the world for oil tankers at the BP terminal on Pier T. Shore power allows a ship to plug in instead of running its diesel engines. Having one oil tanker use shore power at the BP terminal during off-loading is the air pollution-cutting equivalent to taking 187,000 vehicles off the road for the day. Learn more about it here.
The show also takes a close look at a new Long Beach Community College program that is training future technicians in the emerging field of liquefied natural gas truck engines. LNG burns cleaner than diesel, and as the Port moves forward with its Clean Trucks Program, many of these students are expected to have long term careers. Click here for the segment.
Also, a new clean-diesel locomotive pulls its weight, and the Port of Long Beach engineering staff explains how environmentally friendly features are being incorporated into new Port buildings.
"Pulse of the Port" began airing in September 2005 and has won recognition from the Telly Awards, American Association of Port Authorities, the City-County Communications and Marketing Association, and the California Association of Public Information Officials.
You can catch "Pulse of the Port" Mondays at 7:30 p.m. and 11 p.m., Wednesdays at 7:30 p.m., Fridays at 7 p.m., Saturdays at 7:30 p.m., and Sundays at noon on Long Beach Television Channel 8.
