Cavotec has received an order valued at about €3m for shore power systems to be deployed across several ports in southern Italy.
The order covers the supply of a range of Cavotec shore power technologies, including PowerFeed, PowerReach, and PowerMove systems. The solutions will enable vessels such as cruise, container and ro-ro ships to connect to shore-side electricity while at berth.
By allowing ships to switch off their onboard diesel generators during port stays, the systems will help reduce harmful emissions, contributing to improved air quality and supporting ongoing efforts to decarbonise port operations.
David Pagels, Cavotec CEO, said: “This order further strengthens our position in the Mediterranean market and reflects the growing demand for shore power solutions as ports and operators work to reduce emissions and comply with increasingly stringent environmental regulations.”
