Shortsea operator celebrates shore power

[ July 24, 2023   //   ]

Rotterdam Shortsea Terminals (RST) and short-sea carrier Samskip have joined forces  to launch a Green Shore Power initiative.

A celebration was held on 31 July with delegations from Samskip, RST, Port of Rotterdam, Harbour Electronical Services and the Municipality of Rotterdam with the Samskip Innovator providing a demonstration.

Onshore power supply systems are a critical step towards the decarbonisation of shipping and are expected to reduce CO2 emissions by 5 megatons1 of CO2 per year or3.7% of global shipping emissions.

The FuelEU Maritime regulation will require shore-power connectivity from 2030.
