Advanced Marine Emission Control System (AMECS) – Mobile Barge Installation

The contract involves the deployment and integration of a mobile barge-mounted exhaust capture system designed to reduce harmful emissions from vessels during hoteling operations at multiple berths within the Port of San Diego. This system, referred to as the Advanced Marine Emission Control System, will be installed on a specially configured barge to capture and treat exhaust fumes emitted by ships while they are docked, significantly lowering air pollution levels in the surrounding harbor area. The project targets emissions reduction through on-site capture technology, enhancing environmental compliance and air quality in a high-traffic maritime environment. The work is classified under NAICS code 238220, indicating it falls under electrical and other construction installation services, and is structured as a subcontract with performance taking place at San Diego’s 92101 ZIP code area. The initiative aligns with broader environmental goals to mitigate emissions from marine operations, particularly during hoteling when vessels run auxiliary engines while docked. While no specific solicitation number or point of contact is provided, the project is tied to regulatory and sustainability efforts in California, with the San Diego Unified Port District as the overseeing agency. The timeline for the contract is indicated by a posted date of June 25, 2026, suggesting procurement and planning activities are anticipated to begin around that time.
