A joint declaration was made with ports around the world to reduce emissions at ports <FY2021>
The One Ocean Summit was held to promote new international and domestic policies on the oceans hosted by the French State Government (February 9-11), including port, maritime, and transport officials and various events. As a joint outcome, the supporting countries and the port of signing have declared a joint statement promising concrete efforts to reduce the environmental impact of ships berthing.

Actions set forth in the Joint Statement
We will make the best efforts to introduce onshore power supply by 2028.
Onshore power supply is an initiative to reduce the emissions of ships and to promote environmental conservation and decarbonization of ports by stopping the engine when anchored and supplying power from land.
Based on the ESI (Environmental Ship Index) and Green Award Program, ports provide incentives for environmentally conscious vessels.
Oh The ESI system is an environmental ship index system operated by IAPH (International Port Association). This is the most internationally popular system for measuring and evaluating vessels with low environmental impacts for the purpose of reducing emissions of air pollutants and other substances from ships, and the ports provide incentives to excellent ships.
Yokohama Port has been participating since April 2017, and has reduced or exempted the amount equivalent to 15% of the port entry fee for excellent vessels. There are 61 ports around the world, and approximately 7,000 vessels of various types of ship are registered. In Japan, in addition to Yokohama Port, only Tokyo Port and Tomakomai Port are participating.
Oh The Green Award Program is a program organized by the Green Awards Foundation (Netherlands) that contributes to environmental considerations, safety measures, and improvement of the quality of seafarers, etc. Yokohama Port has been participating since April 2017, and has reduced or exempted the amount equivalent to 15% of the port entry fee for excellent vessels.
