Late last month Island Princess helped inaugurate the Port of Vancouver's new shore power facility by turning off its engines and instead "plugging in" to clean hydroelectric power from shore. 
The new shore power technology at the Canada Place cruise ship terminal enables Princess Cruises' ships, and other equipped vessels, to use power from the city's grid instead of the onboard diesel-powered engines, reducing emissions when docking in Vancouver. The port becomes the third in the world where Princess Cruises' ships can take advantage of this innovative technology.
