Port of Hamburg will offer shore-based power supply from 2023

October 10, 2019: Port of Hamburg will become the first port in Europe to offer shore-based power supply both for cruise liners and mega-containerships from 2023.

Completion of the shore-based power units is planned for 2022, with regular operation from 2023.

The option will create conditions to shift from shipboard diesel power supply to ecological electric power during lay times, making available an alternative power supply during ships’ lay times in port.

Peter Tschentscher, Hamburg first mayor said, "Expansion of shore-based power supply units in the port represents a significant and tangible step towards greater climate and environmental protection in Hamburg.

Use of regenerative power from these units will totally eliminate existing CO2 and pollutant emissions from vessels during lay times.

With today’s decision, we are giving shipowners clarity and planning certainty for the essential refitting of their vessels.
