Cavotec AMP Mobile at the Port of Los Angeles

Sit back and enjoy two minutes of scintillating Cavotec mobile Alternative Maritime Power (AMP) at the Port of Los Angeles. AMP is a cold ironing system that enables ships to turn off their engines when in port and plug into shore-side electricity. This helps to improve air quality in ports and surrounding communities. This film was made in June 2011 during shooting for our new Group film.
