Cochran's recent Cruise Ship Shore Power installation at Port Metro Vancouver has been honored by the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of BC (APEGBC) with the 2010 Environmental Award of Excellence.
Diversified industrial manufacturer Eaton Corporation today announced it is collaborating with Cochran Marine to reduce cruise ship emissions and provide cleaner air quality in ports around the world. With this agreement, Eaton is the exclusive manufacturer of Cochran's automated shore power system for cruise ship vessels. Working together, Eaton and Cochran are converting Cochran's 60 Hertz (Hz) solution to support the global 50Hz market, which will allow this team to install turn-key marine shore power at cruise ship terminals around the world.
Cochran Marine, the innovator behind the first fully automated Cruise Ship Shore Power system, has transformed its proven technology into a high functioning, cost competitive alternative to current freightliner cold ironing systems.
Cochran's Marine Shore Power System now has patent pending status. Over the last four years Mike Watts and his team have worked on developing a unique solution for the cruise line industry to provide a cost-saving and environmentally sound alternative to idling diesel engines as a source of power while in port.
