Are cruise ships required to use shore power?

Cruise ships that are shore power-capable connect to the Port’s shore power infrastructure when a connection is available. Existing agreements between the Port and cruise lines require these connections. 

  • The Smith Cove Cruise Terminal at Terminal 91 has two shore power-capable cruise berths, and shore power connections by cruise ships have been increasing in recent seasons.  
  • A project is underway to install shore power at Pier 66 and is expected to be completed in 2023.
