Port Readiness Level Framework and Toolkit
Providing practical tools for ports to assess their readiness against new low- and zero- carbon fuels is a strategic goal for the International Association of Ports and Harbors (IAPH) and its Port Readiness Level (PRL) working group.
Bringing together experts from IAPH member ports, the PRL working group has developed a suite of tools addressing the different roles, responsibilities and ambitions of ports in enabling and promoting low- and zero-carbon fuels. The PRL toolkit includes the three following assessment tools.
- PRL assessment tool for Bunkering Clean Marine Fuels – in short, PRL Bunkering.
- PRL assessment tool for Clean Fuel Cargo – in short, PRL Cargo.
- PRL assessment tool for Vessel Calls by Clean Marine Fuel-powered vessels – in short, PRL Vessel Calls.
This is the portal for accessing the IAPH PRL Toolkit.
