Ports of Stockholm\u2019s shore power project is funded partly by the local investments Climate Leap programme, administered by the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency, and by EU grant funding. Alongside Ports of Stockholm, the Baltic Sea ports of Copenhagen\/Malm\u00f6, Aarhus and Helsinki will invest in onshore power for cruise ships. This is a joint initiative to reduce emissions of shipping air pollutants within port areas and throughout the Baltic Sea.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnshore power connection at the central Stockholm quays is part of an important joint environmental initiative with other Baltic Sea ports. Following in the wake of this tough pandemic year, this is really something to celebrate,\u201d says Mayor of Stockholm Anna K\u00f6nig Jerlmyr.<\/p>\n
The environmental investment in providing onshore power according to a common international standard at these ports will also enable cruise ships and shipping companies to invest in and connect to onshore power according to the same standard.<\/p>\n
For Ports of Stockholm the investment means equipping two central quays in Stockholm with high voltage onshore power connections, allowing cruise ships to shut down their engines and use power supplied from the local electricity grid. The project will start in December 2020.<\/p>\n
The work to equip the two central quays with onshore power connections will be completed, respectively, in 2023 and 2024.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
