Shore power

Ten charging points and ten electric terminal tractors, the heavy vehicles that move containers around the yard, are also part of the package.

Perhaps the most immediate change for ships calling at Constanta will come from two shore power systems included in the project.

ShorePower lets a berthed vessel plug into the local electricity grid instead of running its own engines while it waits at the quay.

That is a significant shift for vessels that might otherwise idle their engines for hours or even days.

The financing mix is worth noting.

I mean, I, you know, I don't want to get into it.

But anyway, you know, we hear with the term shore power or port electrification.

What does that actually mean? What and what infrastructure has to exist?

Yeah, I think it's going to be different things for different ports.
