Port of Hueneme CEO and director Kristin Decas said: “The projects funded by this grant will lay the foundation for the next phase of green infrastructure and equipment at the Port, which will support electric cranes, electric cargo-handling equipment, and a hydrogen-fuel-cell truck dedicated to moving our customer’s fresh produce to the marketplace.

“You will be seeing zero-emission avocados, bananas, and pineapples coming out of the port soon.”

The port will also develop infrastructure to support the charging of electric cargo-handling equipment on-dock.
