Newest APL Vessel is "Cold Ironing" Ready

"APL has taken active steps to invest in green technology on our new ships to minimise our carbon footprint and promote sustainable global trade," said Kenneth Glenn, president of APL. "In addition to several environmentally-friendly innovations introduced onboard, we are happy to confirm that the APL Savannah and her sister ships calling at the port are ready for cold-ironing, ahead of the implementation deadline."
