The shore power solution is the first of its kind for a container terminal in the Netherlands.<\/p>\n
\u201cRST is committed to be a frontrunner in energy transition and is taking a leading role in the port of Rotterdam to work on practical solutions to serve the planet and RST\u2019s customers,\u201d said Arno Storm, CEO of RST.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am truly proud to be able to say that we are the first container terminal in the Netherlands which has a shore power connection. For me, keying in on the path towards CO2 neutrality means partnering with customers and suppliers and I am thrilled that together with Samskip, HES and Jolectra, we have been able to take a first step.\u201d<\/p>\n
Quayside first<\/strong><\/p>\n The new shore power endeavor was largely possible through the expertise of Harbour Electronical Services (HES) which both prepared and outfitted Samskip\u2019s shortsea vessel \u201cInnovator\u201d to receive shore power.<\/p>\n The power supply unit at the quay of RST has been installed by Jolectra.<\/p>\n The European Commission has made clear that onshore power supply systems are a critical step towards the decarbonisation of the shipping sector.<\/p>\n For the entire shipping sector, shore-side electricity is expected to reduce CO2 emissions by five megatonnes of CO2 per year (3.7% of global shipping emissions).<\/p>\n With this joint iniative, Samskip is also moving forward in its preparation for the FuelEU Maritime regulation which will require shore-power connectivity from 2030 onwards.<\/p>\n Samskip vessels are already using a variety of means to reduce emissions including bio-fuel, CO2 capturing systems, WASP (Wind Assisted Ships Propulsion) and shore power.<\/p>\n The company has set itself ambitious decarbonisation targets for the upcoming years with a clear aim to achieve net-zero emissions by 2040.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Rotterdam Shortsea Terminals (RST)\u00a0and Samskip have launched a new shore power connection to tackle CO2 emissions produced by vessels at the dock.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":3543,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[34,8],"tags":[1150,1149,922,179],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-3542","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-europe-greenport","category-projects-initiatives-greenport","tag-co2-neutrality","tag-rotterdam","tag-samskip","tag-shore-power"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3542","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=3542"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3542\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3544,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3542\/revisions\/3544"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3543"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3542"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3542"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3542"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=3542"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
