Sustainable mobile shore power for the Port of Rotterdam - an assessment of a battery-based shore power system, Pilot phase B - Waalhaven
report
Port of Rotterdam aims to reduce climate impact and improve air quality. For maritime shipping, shore power can effectively reduce ship pollutant emissions at berth (EPA, 2022). FuelEU Maritime regulation requires that from January 1st, 2030, container and passenger ships greater than or equal to 5,000 gross tonnage (GT) must connect to shore power or use an equivalent zero-emission technology in main EU ports (Zero Carbon Shipping, 2024). This regulation also mandates that all vessel types greater or equal to 5,000 GT have to meet gradually tightening GHG intensity targets (in gCO₂e/MJ), encouraging cleaner port operations. By connecting to zero-emission shore power, vessels can significantly reduce their GHG intensity, supporting ship owners in complying with these requirements. Further details on these regulations and their implications for shore power adoption are provided in the Appendix.
