“his is a big deal, costing tens of millions per dock, and, of course, it’s going to require foreign-owned ships to spend hundreds of thousands, if not millions, per ship to make the conversions necessary to comport with the new law.”

I thought the infrastructure bill is meant for things like this.

“I thought the infrastructure bill is meant for things like this.”

I’m pretty sure its the SHIPS that have to be renovated to use only shore power. They run their on board generators because they weren’t built to run on shore power.
They’re talking about miles of wiring, junction boxes, fuse stations, and the terminals needed for the hook up to the shore based power lines.
Each shipping company will be responsible for renovating each of their ships. Massive costs that the consumer will pay for.
