Electroproject - Shore Power Systems

Shore power is an electrical connection between a ship and a shore-based installation, giving the ship access to the port`s electricity grid. This power can be used for a variety of on-board activities, such as lighting, heating, cooling and battery charging. The connection is made via special connectors and transformers that adjust the current to the vessel`s specifications.

Benefits of shore power for ports

By choosing shore power solutions from Electroproject, your port is investing in a cleaner, more efficient and future-proof energy supply that is not only beneficial to the environment, but also to your bottom line.

Environmental benefitsReduction of CO2 emissions

By switching to shore power instead of using diesel generators, ships can significantly reduce their CO2 emissions. This helps meet environmental targets and improve air quality in the port, making your port more attractive to environmentally conscious customers and partners.

Improving air quality

Shore power reduces harmful emissions such as nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (PM), leading to a healthier environment for port staff, ship crews and local residents.

Economic benefitsCost savings

Using shore power can lead to lower fuel costs for ships, as electricity is often cheaper than marine diesel. Moreover, ships can benefit from night-time power tariffs and other energy-saving measures.

Grants and state aid

Many governments offer subsidies and financial support for companies investing in shore power solutions, which can help reduce initial costs and shorten the payback period of your investment.

Increased service life of marine engines

Less use of ship engines by shore power leads to less wear and tear and longer life, generating significant cost savings for ship owners and making your port more attractive.

Customisable solutions

Our shore power systems are fully customisable and can be designed to meet the diverse requirements of different ship types and port infrastructures. Whether you need to power a small commercial vessel or a large cruise ship, we have the expertise to deliver a customised solution that meets your exact needs. This could include:

• Different voltages and powers, depending on the type of vessel and the power supply required.
• Various connection types, such as cable reels, crane installations or fixed connections, depending on your quay layout and operational preferences.
• Integration of smart meters and load balancing technologies to optimise energy consumption and reduce peak loads.

Technological innovations

Electroproject uses the latest technologies to ensure maximum efficiency and reliability. For example, our systems are equipped with:

• Real-time monitoring to monitor system performance and quickly identify and resolve any problems.
• Smart energy management solutions to optimise energy consumption and reduce costs.
• Automated connection and disconnection mechanisms to increase safety and minimise human error.

Your shore power project: step-by-step guidance

At Electroproject, we aim to ensure seamless and effective implementation of shore power solutions for your port. Our approach is based on four key steps that ensure you receive a customised and reliable solution that meets all your needs.

Step 1: Advice & consultancy

Our collaboration starts with a free consultation and needs analysis. Our experts will visit you to assess your specific situation and understand your needs. We discuss:

• Your current energy supply and infrastructure.
• The types of ships calling at your port.
• The energy and environmental challenges you face.
• Your sustainability and cost-saving goals.

On this basis, we provide you with detailed advice on the best shore power solutions for your port, including a cost estimate and an overview of possible subsidies.

Step 2: Design and engineering

After the needs analysis, we start customising the design of your shore power system. Our experienced engineers develop a solution that perfectly matches your specific requirements and infrastructure. This includes:

• The selection of suitable components, such as transformers, frequency converters and junction boxes.
• Design of electrical connections, taking into account safety and reliability.
• The integration of advanced technologies, such as smart meters and load balancing.
• Preparing detailed technical drawings and specifications.

We ensure that the design is not only functional, but also efficient, safe and future-proof.

Step 3: Installation and implementation

Once the design is approved, we proceed to the installation and implementation of the shore power system. Our skilled team of technicians ensures an accurate and efficient installation, with minimal disruption to your daily port operations. We provide:

• Delivery and installation of all components.
• Grid connection and integration with existing systems.
• Extensive testing to ensure system functionality and security.
• Training your staff in the use and maintenance of the system.

Step 4: Maintenance and support

After installation, Electroproject remains your reliable partner. We offer ongoing support and maintenance services to ensure your shore power system always remains in top condition.

• Regular inspections and preventive maintenance.
• Fast response times in case of any malfunctions or problems.
• Software updates and upgrades to keep your system up-to-date.
• Advice and support for future extensions or modifications.

Reliable energy supply

Shore power provides a stable and reliable source of power for ships, reducing the risk of power outages or other energy-related problems.

Reduction of noise pollution

Diesel generators can be noisy and cause noise pollution in the port. Shore power offers a quiet solution, contributing to a more pleasant environment for port staff, ship crews and nearby communities.

Customised shore power solutions for your port

At Electroproject, we understand that every port and ship has unique needs and challenges. Therefore, we offer tailor-made shore power solutions that perfectly match the specific requirements of your business and infrastructure. Our expertise and innovative approach ensure that you can count on the highest quality and reliability.
