In order to make the ship air pollution has been effectively controlled, Europe and America, the Hong Kong experience, Shenzhen decided to take government subsidies, corporate voluntary model to promote the use of shore power and low-sulfur oil. The model encourages the ship docked using the "shore power" During his stay in Shenzhen, which docked ship power transmission through the port to maintain the operation, no access to electricity by the ship's own fuel power generation system, greatly reducing the emissions of pollutants, encourage the use of low-sulfur oil ship docked in order to reduce sulfur dioxide emissions during the Shenzhen Port. According to reports, the Shenzhen annual budget will invest 200 million yuan on the use of shore power and low-sulfur oil company subsidies, shore power facilities where the conduct is used during construction and provide berthing port enterprises or shore power used in the administrative area of ​​Shenzhen shore power or low-sulfur oil, shipping companies can apply for subsidies in accordance with the relevant "subsidies" requirement, you can enjoy 0.7 yuan / kWh of electricity preferential tariff shore, using a sulfur content not exceeding 0.5% of low-sulfur oil and meet the requirements of the respective application shipping companies, the government will be based on the difference between the use of fuel sulfur content, which will be 75-100% difference ranging from oil subsidies.

According to the work plan to promote the progress of the expected 2016 annual Shenzhen Port shore power application ratio can reach more than 15%, berthing turn oil (sulfur content of 0.1%) proportion will reach 85%.

The city is expected to make the annual average concentration of sulfur dioxide decreased about 1.2 micrograms / cubic meter, down PM2.5 annual average concentration of about 0.9 micrograms / cubic meter, the average annual concentration of nitrogen oxides decreased about 0.5 micrograms / cubic meter. This will further improve the air quality of the environment, Shenzhen play a big role.
