The results of the analysis are proposals for power supply in theRiga Freeport.IntroductionThe Baltic Sea is one of the busiest shipping areas in the world, freight volume and the numberof ships entering the Baltic, and in particular the port of Riga continues to grow. Considering theintensity of the traffic in the port new technologies shall be carried out to reduce emissions from shipsand pollution level in the port area. This is specifically important in Riga Passenger port wheredocking area are located in the immediate vicinity of the Riga old town and residential area.The following documents concerns Emission levels in EU ports :1. EU Directive 2005/33/EC - change to fuel oil sulphur controls for ships at berth in EU ports whichspecifies the maximum allowable sulphur content of the fuel oil used “ at berth” will be not over 0.10% by mass ( m/m). It covers use for main and auxiliary machinery and boilers and is applicable forships berthing more then for 2 h in the port.2. European Community has adopted a Recommendation 2006/339/EC "Promotion of shore-sideelectricity for the use by ships at berth in Community ports" (Published on 12.05.2006 in the EUOfficial Journal No.125/42) on May 8, 2006.3. The EU Directive 2003/96/EC allows a tax reduction for the use of shore-side electricity. Otherways are also considered to encourage ports to invest in shore-side electricity infrastructure and toensure its use.Based on EU documents more and more EU ports start to be equipped with necessaryinfrastructure for such a connection getting the necessary funding from the EU structural funds. InOctober 2011 Port of Rotterdam launched a pilot project implementation, resulting in 120 shore sideconnecting the points for vessels.Leading ship classification societies, including Lloyds Register (LR), Germanisher Lloyds,Bureau Veritas (BV), Det Norske Veritas (DNV) and others has issued new sections in their ClassRules (or as tentative rules), governing the safety, protection and technical aspects of shore-sideconnection.Different terminology are used by authors in technical articles e.g. OPS - On shore PowerSupply (LR), CI - Cold Ironing , APS - Alternative Power Supply,SPS - Shore Power Supply,SPC - Shore Power Connection.90
