Onshore power in Hong Kong could bring about a sea change in emissions

The Green Earth and Clean Air Network found that there was a 43 per cent rise in nitrogen dioxide, an air pollutant, at Kai Tak Terminal when an onshore-power-capable vessel, Piano Land, was docked in August. Such a problem could have been avoided. The authorities must speed up the installation of shore power for cruise and container terminals in stages to prevent Hong Kong from lagging too far behind other ports.

The Green Earth’s Response to the Policy Address 2025

The Chief Executive, Mr John Lee, delivered his Policy Address 2025 on 17 September 2025. The environmental policies proposed largely follow existing measures and appear quite conservative in approach. Given the urgency of climate and environmental challenges, The Green Earth urges the authorities to adopt more proactive environmental strategies and to integrate sustainability concepts into economic and tourism development, thereby achieving the goals of high-quality and sustainable growth.

啟德從速裝岸電郵輪靠岸免污染

在香港這個國際都會，啟德郵輪碼頭作為亞洲重要的郵輪樞紐，本應引領綠色航運潮流，卻因缺乏岸電（Onshore Power Supply）基建，而令停靠的郵輪繼續燃燒燃料發電，維持船上運作。這不僅落後於時代，郵輪噴出的廢氣更直接加劇空氣污染，長此下去，我們擔心除了會影響市民健康，更會損害碼頭的旅遊形象。
