In collaboration with Rotterdam Shore Power (RSP), a joint venture between Eneco and Port of Rotterdam, the project will see the first ships connected by 2028, with around 5,000 sea-going vessels connected by 2030.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis project supports our mission to be emission-free by 2035. Providing shore power at our terminals will allow our clients to reduce their environmental impact and fits within our sustainable logistics vision,\u201d said Leo Ruijs, CEO of ECT.<\/p>\n
Ambitious project<\/strong><\/p>\n The initiative is part of Rotterdam\u2019s ambitious goal to become climate neutral by 2050, aligning with European Green Deal regulations.<\/p>\n RSP will construct and operate the shore power facilities, while ECT and Port of Rotterdam Authority will be responsible for the civil integration of the facilities at the quay and terminal site.<\/p>\n The projects are part of the largest shore power projects in Europe, which jointly comprise around five kilometres of quay.<\/p>\n RSP said one of its main aims is to make the service easily accessible.<\/p>\n \u201cBy offering shore power as a service, we eliminate the investment barriers for our clients while promoting a greener maritime industry,\u201d said Tiemo Arkesteijn, director at RSP.<\/p>\n He added that the development will not only contribute to cleaner air and lower noise pollution, but also accelerate sustainability at the port and the local maritime sector.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hutchison Ports ECT Rotterdam (ECT) is to install new shore power facilities which will cut the\u00a0port\u2019s CO2 emissions by around 35,000 tonnes per year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":4657,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[46,34],"tags":[1777,100,1556,152,179,48],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-4656","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-energy-technology-greenport","category-europe-greenport","tag-eneco","tag-green-deal","tag-hutchison-ports-ect-rotterdam","tag-port-of-rotterdam","tag-shore-power","tag-shorepower-electrification"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4656","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=4656"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4656\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4658,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4656\/revisions\/4658"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4657"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4656"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4656"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4656"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=4656"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
