The Port of Kapellsk\u00e4r has introduced shore power and automooring at the quay to service two brand new Finnlines Superstar-class vessels on the Kapellsk\u00e4r-L\u00e5ngn\u00e4s-Naantali route. <\/p>\n
\u201cHaving the possibility to invest, together with our customers, in modern technology that reduces emissions is extremely rewarding. It is very positive that our long-term loyal customer, Finnlines, has chosen to invest in sustainable development at Port of Kapellsk\u00e4r,\u201d says Bino Drummond, deputy chairman of Port of Kapellsk\u00e4r.<\/p>\n
Sustainable development<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong>The onshore power connections are part of a larger project being carried out together with the shipping company Finnlines and Port of Naantali.<\/p>\n Finnlines\u2019 new vessels will be introduced into service in 2023. In addition to the onshore power connections, automooring will also be installed at Port of Kapellsk\u00e4r. This reduces the time the vessel spends in port, enables lower vessel speeds at sea and saves on fuel.<\/p>\n A large proportion of Ports of Stockholm regular ferry services already connect to onshore power.<\/p>\n Actemium OPS, the supplier of the onshore power facilities at Port of Kapellsk\u00e4r, has already delivered two similar facilities to Ports of Stockholm. The most recent of these came into operation in June 2021.<\/p>\n The facility at Port of Kapellsk\u00e4r is within the framework of the EU project \u201cUpgrade of the Baltic Sea Bridge Kapellsk\u00e4r-L\u00e5ngn\u00e4s-Naantali\u201d and 30% of the funding comes from the EU. Partial funding is also provided nationally in Sweden by the Climate Leap initiative.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A Swedish port has installed shore power in order to service a fleet of green newbuild ferries<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":2212,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[117,130,434,435,179],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-2211","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-energy-technology-greenport","tag-automation","tag-emissions","tag-finnlines","tag-port-of-kapellskar","tag-shore-power"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2211","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2211"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2211\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2213,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2211\/revisions\/2213"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2212"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2211"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2211"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2211"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=2211"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
