Such specific requirements for emission control at the states of California is know as 'CARB'. (CARB：California Air Resources Board）
2．Ships type and timeline
2.1 Reporting requirement

2.2 Emission control requirement
Ships type and timeline
| 1 Jan. 2023 | container, refrigerated cargo vessels and cruise(passenger) vessels |
| 1 Jan. 2025 | roll-on roll off vessels and tanker vessels that visit the ports of Los Angels or Long Beach |

There are some certified ways by CARB to comply with this emission control requirement and operators can choose either way for their ships. However, most of the operators choose to use AMP(Alternate Maritime Power), which ships use Shore Power while at berth as it is practical way at the moment.
