The Ministry of Infrastructure in the Netherlands is allocating €140 million (US$150 million) to boost shore power plants at ports, with a further €40 million (US$43 million) being added from its climate fund. By 2030, European ports will be required to supply ships over 5000 gross tonnes with shore power under the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR). The ports in the Netherlands involved are Amsterdam, Groningen, Moerdijk, North Sea Port (Vlissingen, Terneuzen and Ghent) and Rotterdam.
