Abstract
Environmental protection is a global issue: every port, especially those on the west coast of the U.S.A., is required to satisfy stringent environmental regulations. As the ultimate environmental protection solution, the AMP system is increasingly selected by many seaports and ships. This article provides an overview of the background leading to AMP and the current situation of seaports, and the AMP system of NYK ATLAS and some future ideas for AMP are also introduced.
