The greenest way for ports to contribute reducing shipping industry emissions

    About Cold Ironing

    On-shore power supply, best known as cold ironing, is the greenest way for ports to contribute reducing shipping industry emissions. By simply turning off their engines and plugging in to an electrical supply point in the port, ships can reduce their emissions or even stop them completely.

    Our Cold Ironing Solutions

    Our aim is to improve the health and the lives of port communities by improving the air and reducing the noise of terminals. We want to reduce the carbon footprint of ports maintaining full operations.

    To do so, TEC Shore Power has different cold ironing solutions. Our OPS can be fixed or mobile and we are used to work with both high and low tension in order to meet different ports requirements and vessels needs. All our cold ironing products are designed according to the international connection standard (ISO/IEC/IEEC 80005).

    Technology recommended by the European Commission

    A European Green Deal

    Both the European Commission and the European Alternative Fuels Observatory urge the use of this kind of technology. In fact, it is within the six priorities of the commission for 2019-2024 (Specifically in his “A European Green Deal, striving to be the first climate-neutral continent”). One of the reasons to implement Alternative Maritime Power in ports as fast as possible is the Commission´s estimate that states: “Transport by inland waterways and short sea shipping will increase by 25% by 2030”

    Onshore power advantages

    Rapid development in ports: Ports all over the world, especially within the EU, are investing in shoreside power

    Reduced port tariffs: Many ports offer an environmental discount on the port tariff when a shore power system is installed

    Low maintenance costs: reducing the hours of use of auxiliary generators
