Council Member Alexa Aviles inquires about the reinstatement of public postings detailing cruise ships' shore power hookups and the broad rationales for any non-compliance. The discussion delves into the specifics of ships that haven't connected to shore power, distinctions between compatibility issues, and the anticipated improvements with the introduction of a mobile jib system. Further, the commitment to share detailed reasons for non-connection with the council and community is confirmed, highlighting transparency and accountability in monitoring shore power usage.
Speaker 2
2:07:03
So in terms of the the hookups, I just wanna go back to this point.
2:07:07
There was a there was a moment in time where it was posted publicly when the the ships would come in and when they when they were plugging in or not.
2:07:17
Were we able to correct and then it got pulled down.
2:07:20
Is that going to be reinstated again?
Speaker 8
2:07:24
Yes.
Speaker 2
2:07:26
Okay.
2:07:26
Great.
2:07:27
In terms of the the rationale, you laid out 33 broad based reasons, why we don't hook up to shore power, whether I think safety, I, of course, I don't remember them.
2:07:41
Do you have a sense of that 30%.
2:07:46
Like, how much is attributed to weather, how much is it attributed to the other reasons?
Speaker 7
2:07:51
Yes.
2:07:51
So when ports America monitors who is connecting and who's not, those the reasons why and the conditions in which they weren't able to connect are secured, and that is something we are committed to sharing with you counsel and then in the community.
Speaker 2
2:08:10
Great.
2:08:10
So so you'll share the the last 30% sold the 30% that didn't hook up is all the MSC.
2:08:19
Shit.
2:08:20
I mean, MSC hasn't hooked up since it's been in Redhook.
2:08:23
Correct.
Speaker 7
2:08:24
So MSC is not currently compatible
Speaker 2
2:08:26
with the system.
2:08:27
Right.
2:08:27
But that they're part of the 30%.
2:08:30
Are there other ships that are Not in okay.
2:08:35
I I may be conflating.
2:08:37
So there's those that are incompatible but not hooking up.
2:08:40
And they're those that are just now hooking up because they're not compatible.
2:08:44
Correct.
2:08:44
So what is the total of ships that are coming that are at worth?
2:08:49
That are not hooking up for whatever reason.
Speaker 7
2:08:52
So I believe it's 3 because it'll be MSC that's not compatible.
2:08:58
And there are 2 Princess and Kunalar ships.
2:09:01
By the end of this year, when that mobile Jib goes in, those two ships that aren't connecting will be able to connect.
2:09:08
So that that will happen.
2:09:10
The MSC ship requires this mobile Jib is the first step.
2:09:14
There's infrastructure work and additional cabling positioning.
2:09:18
Needs to be added to the mobile Jive to allow the MSC ship to connect, and that's what we're working on right
Speaker 2
2:09:23
now.
2:09:25
Okay.
2:09:27
I guess I guess with that chair, I think there's quite a lot of community experts who would like to testify, so moving to moving to pub public testimony.
