Historic Port Tenant's Fleet Switching to Shore Power

Port of San Diego tenant Flagship Cruises & Events, a San Diego Harbor Excursion luxury tour brand, is transitioning its 11-vessel fleet to shore power at a new facility to be built between Broadway Pier and Navy Pier. The $2.5 million project will allow Flagship vessels to plug into on-shore electricity while docked, instead of running their diesel engines – an innovation that is good for air quality.

Flagship plans to start construction in January, with completion by mid-2012. A private groundbreaking event was held early this month.

This project is part of Flagship Cruises & Events' commitment to sustainable business practices. The company is among 49 Port of San Diego waterfront businesses participating in the Green Business Challenge.
