South Carolina Ports Authority awarded US$2m grant to upgrade RTG engines
South Carolina Ports Authority (SCPA) and the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) have been awarded a US$2m grant to upgrade the engines on 12 rubber-tyred gantry (RTG) cranes.
The grant from the US Environmental Protection Agency’s Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (DERA) grant programme will help to equip the port’s RTGs with hybrid battery/genset engine systems, replacing the existing hi-power diesel engines.
The new engines are meant to reduce emissions of particulate matter, air toxins and nitrogen oxides by up to 96% while reducing annual fuel consumption by over 100,000 gallons.
