Ship to shore power systems

What is a shore-to-ship power system?

Onboard, the shore-to-ship power equipment is fully integrated with the ship’s electrical and automation system, enabling seamless power transfer from onboard generation to shore power. Why Hitachi Energy? Hitachi Energy delivered the first shore-to-ship power solution to the Swedish port of Gothenburg in 2000

What are shore power solutions?

Our shore power solutions are taking the shipping industry to a new level of energy efficiency, while ensuring compliance with the strictest emissions regulations. We provide state-of-the-art technologies for both existing ships, and new-build container and bulk vessels.

Do cruise ships require a shore power supply?

According to international standard (ISO/IEC/IEEC 80005-1), cruise vessels must be connected to an electrical supply from the shore at either 6.6kV or 11kV up to 20 MVA. Cavotec’s shore power solutions cater to a wide range of cruise ship configurations, regardless of their electrical requirements and connection points.

What is a shore power connection?

shore power connection. All these terms are typically used for IEC-80005 standardized plug solutions (IEEE SA - IEEE/IEC 80005-1-2019 most used in the High Voltage version), which ensure that the vessel will be able to get shore power in any commercial port. How does shore power work?

What is a shore power vessel & how does it work?

These vessels are capable of making use of normal grid voltage and frequency, and replace the energy from the generators with the shore power with only marginal investments. For the larger vessels with higher power requirements (100 kW up to 10 to 15 MW) it gets a bit more complicated.

Do all vessel charging systems have the same set up onshore?

All vessel charging systems have the same set up onshore like Alternative Marine Power, which includes more than just the cable handling system – the visible part that connects power to the ship. Why shore power?
