Wind of change is blowing in the ports of Europe due to a new legislation. The European Union has passed legislation that will make it a legal requirement for ports to have shore-power available by 2025. This means that the ships have to run on shore power instead of ship’s power every time they dock.This is a major step for the industry: by the new legislation emissions are cut tremendously, noise is reduced, and shipping companies save fuel costs. It also provides certainty: ships can sail anywhere in the EU knowing they will have a green port and marine shore power waiting in every port inside the EU. Adwatec is also participating in this reform. Adwatec shore supply solutions The electrical shore supply solution typically includes powerful converters.
