SHIP SHORE POWER CONNECTION
Shore power connection, also known as cold ironing, is a technology that allows ships to connect to onshore electrical power when berthed at a port instead of running their onboard auxiliary engines or generators. By plugging into the local electrical grid, ships can power their onboard systems and equipment without burning fuel, significantly reducing emissions and noise pollution during port stays.
Benefits of shore power connection:
- Emissions reduction
- Improved air quality
- Reduced running hours of ship’s engines
- Reduced fuel consumption/cost savings
- Less noise emitted by vessels during port stays
- Compliance with regulations

BALLAST WATER TREATMENT SYSTEMS
Ballast water treatment systems are essential technologies installed on ships to manage and treat ballast water, which is taken on board by vessels to maintain stability and proper trim during voyages. The main purpose of ballast water treatment systems is to remove or neutralize these aquatic organisms and pathogens to prevent the spread of invasive species between different ecosystems.
Benefits of the installation of ballast water treatment systems on ships:
- Prevention of invasive species
- Environmental protection and protection of coastal areas
- Compliance with international regulations
- Sustainable shipping practices
- Economic benefits and international trade facilitation
