Second emissions capture barge deployed at Port of Hueneme

California’s Port of Hueneme has welcomed its second emissions capture and control barge developed by compatriot maritime emissions capture and control company STAX Engineering.

Revealed on July 16, the vessel—christened STAX 6—is said to represent an ‘important’ part of the Port of Hueneme’s endeavor to maintain environmentally friendly operations.

More specifically, the partnership with STAX Engineering and investing in this type of technology are described as two steps within the port’s ZE2030 roadmap, which is envisaged to keep Hueneme on the path to becoming “the nation’s first zero-emissions port by the end of the decade.”

As disclosed, the Port of Hueneme now owns two of these barges, out of a total of eight that operate in the entire Golden State.

Mike Walker, CEO of STAX Engineering, highlighted that with the arrival of STAX 6, every commercial terminal at the port is now being served by the company’s technology. Walker added that he believed this was a “major step” in the adoption of solutions of this kind.
