Shore power solutions for more sustainable operations
Shore power is the term used in shipping for supplying a vessel in port with electricity from the shore instead of generating power onboard.
Shore power solutions make it possible for a ship to plug in to an onshore electricity grid when in port. With shore power, the vessel does not have to use its auxiliary engines to generate power. This decreases emissions and noise.
Shore power can also be used to charge the energy storage system on board the ship.
Increasingly, shore power is becoming a standard feature in new vessels and a popular retrofit for existing fleets.
