Sustainability in Maritime: The Path Ahead
Exploring key policies, technologies and collaboration for a cleaner and more sustainable maritime industry.
Port electrification brings together vessels, berth infrastructure and the electricity supply. Shore power allows a vessel to use an external electrical supply while connected at berth.
Project planning should consider the vessel interface, available grid capacity, operating procedures and the applicable requirements for the specific port and vessel.
Questions to resolve before selection
An implementation plan needs to bring together the port operator, electrical infrastructure and vessels that will use the berth. The practical questions are the available supply, vessel compatibility, connection procedure and site-specific requirements.
- Identify vessel and berth interfaces
- Assess the available electrical supply
- Set operating and connection procedures
Review application solutions or share your requirements with the engineering team.
