On Tuesday, June 16 delegates will gather in Bergen to consider key
aspects of global shipping’s use of shore power, including the latest
developments in shore power technologies, how changes in regulatory frameworks
are affecting the application of shore power, and the challenges that exist for
its wider use.
Cavotec’s Luciano Corbetta, Sales Director for our Ports &
Maritime unit, will join other industry experts, environmental organisations
and local and global media for a series of seminars and in-depth case studies.
Shore power – also known as Alternative Maritime Power (AMP), cold
ironing, and High Voltage Shore Connection (HVSC) – is the process of
connecting ships in port to land-generated electrical power. This allows
vessels’ diesel-fired engines to be switched off, thereby reducing emissions in
ports and surrounding communities.
We will also be hosting a port visit during which attendees will see
Bergen’s shore power installation at first hand. Furthermore, the event
promises to be an excellent opportunity to meet colleagues and network with
fellow ports and shore power professionals.
Cavotec is a leading supplier of innovative shore power
technologies. Our AMP systems are in use at a large number of low and medium
voltage ship- and port-based applications worldwide.
