Port operators and shipping lines increasingly invest in onshore power supply and electrical charging systems for their terminals. Upgrading electrified port infrastructure describes the systematic expansion of these energy systems—installation or enhancement of power supply for cranes, tugs, vehicles, and vessels (shore power connections). The objective is to reduce emissions and operational energy costs while meeting stricter environmental regulations (e.g. EU-MRV, IMO 2030/2050). Such projects demand substantial capital investment and coordinated alignment with ship owners and local utilities.
