Along with the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, the Port of Los Angeles recently introduced the Alternative Maritime Program (AMP), which will have ships plug into cleaner land-side power once they reach the harbor. "Cold ironing," as it is referred to in the industry, is one of the innovative ways the Port is addressing environmental concerns and remaining competitive. Metro Investment Report presents an interview with Larry Keller, Executive Director of the Port of L.A., in which he talks about the significant issues facing the port, including terminal development, pollution mitigation, and port security.
