THE Port of Hamburg has extended shore-side power to containerships having made it available to cruise ships for several years, reports Rotterdam's Offshore Energy.
The 18,000-TEU CMA CGM Vasco de Gama became the first containership to be regularly supplied with shore power at Container Terminal Hamburg (CTH).
In the future, containerships will also be able to draw electricity from renewable sources on land while at berth, instead of running the ship＊s engines.
※From 2025, all large cruise and container terminals in the Port of Hamburg will have shore power connections. This is unique in Europe and an important step towards reducing CO2 and pollutant emissions in the Port of Hamburg,§ said Hamburg Mayor Peter Tschentscher.
