It\u2019s an ambitious plan which outlines a decade-long roadmap to shore power, both meeting the regulation across Europe by 2030 and aiming for zero-emission berthing by 2050.<\/p>\n
\u201cShore power is not a distant dream; it is a solution for today. It directly contributes to a cleaner and healthier port and reduces emissions and noise,\u201d said Boudewijn Siemons, CEO Port of Rotterdam Authority.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe aim to make shore power the norm for a large part of shipping by 2030 and lay the foundation for full rollout after 2035. This strategy is ambitious, realistic and necessary, because a sustainable port is a strong port for everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n
Port partnership<\/strong><\/p>\n The strategy strengthens port partnerships between the municipality, the port authority and private stakeholders and positions Rotterdam at the forefront of sustainable port operations in Europe.<\/p>\n It focuses on expanding shore power at public quays, preparing for the upcoming EU shore power mandate (AFIR, 2030) and scaling up installations across all shipping segments.<\/p>\n The port already operates over 100 shore power units with a combined capacity exceeding 43 megawatts, including a new system at the cruise terminal.<\/p>\n While grid congestion presents challenges, innovative solutions such as mobile shore power units are being explored to maintain momentum.<\/p>\n To foster collaboration, Rotterdam\u2019s upcoming Shore Power Summit (November 12\u201313) aims to unite leaders in freight, ports and logistics to exchange insights and forge new port partnerships.<\/p>\n The aim is to further drive down port emissions and power up Rotterdam\u2019s electrified future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The City of Rotterdam and the Port of Rotterdam Authority have unveiled their updated Shore Power Strategy 2025 to 2035, which aims to accelerate port electrification across the city.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":5853,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[46,34],"tags":[637,152,179,48,870],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-5852","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-energy-technology-greenport","category-europe-greenport","tag-port-electrification","tag-port-of-rotterdam","tag-shore-power","tag-shorepower-electrification","tag-sustainability-strategy"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5852","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=5852"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5852\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5854,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5852\/revisions\/5854"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5853"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5852"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5852"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5852"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=5852"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
