> Port operators and shipowners use shore power (or shore-side electrification) to supply vessels and port equipment with electricity from the grid rather than onboard generators.

Port operators and shipowners use shore power (or shore-side electrification) to supply vessels and port equipment with electricity from the grid rather than onboard generators. This requires installing high-voltage connections at berths, substations, and equipping vessels with connection devices. Benefits include reduced noise, particulate emissions, and CO2 in port areas, plus cost savings for shipowners and port operators.
