Background
The existing Commercial Harbor Craft Regulation requires the majority of vessels with pre‑Tier 1 or Tier 1 engines to be repowered with engines meeting Tier 2 or Tier 3 standards. Staff assessments show that when the existing rule is fully implemented by 2023, Commercial Harbor Craft will continue to adversely impact air quality, particularly near port communities. As a result, staff proposed amendments on September 21, 2021, that were initially heard by the Board in November 2021. The final hearing on the Proposed Amendments is anticipated in Spring 2022.
