Cavotec has signed a shore power order from Equans for the Port of Antwerp-Bruges in Belgium with a total value of around €1.55m.
The system will contribute to reduced emissions and supports compliance with international environmental regulations. The project, which is co-funded by the European Union, will enable cruise vessels calling at the terminal to connect to shore-side electricity, allowing them to shut down their onboard generators and reduce emissions while berthed. As part of the agreement, Cavotec will provide maintenance services for the equipment for a period of five years. Delivery is scheduled for the third quarter of 2026.
David Pagels, CEO Cavotec, said: “This order reinforces our strong position in the shore power market for cruise applications and highlights the trust customers place in our technology as ports accelerate their transition to clean operations.”
The deal is said to further strengthen Cavotec’s position as a supplier of shore power solutions for the cruise sector and supports ongoing efforts to decarbonise the maritime industry.
