Trondheim Havn recently inaugurated its first high-voltage shore power facility, which is located in Orkland kommune. NCL Vestland from North Sea Container Line was the first vessel to be connected to the system.
The ship has a capacity of 1,300 containers and up to 13,000 tonnes of cargo. By using shore power, the vessel can save one tonne of marine diesel per port call, corresponding to 3.2 tonnes of CO₂.
Trondheim Havn IKS now has a flexible, container-based shore power facility supporting both container vessels and RORO ships.
A few years ago PSW delivered a system that supplies up to 4.4 MVA and allows voltage selection between 11 kV and 6.6 kV. For the recent upgrade of the facility we have delivered new plugs, a new high-voltage switchboard, an integrated control system, and an updated HMI – a robust solution for efficient and future-oriented shore power operations.
We congratulate Trondheim Havn on this shore power facility, which represents an important milestone toward greener and more future-oriented maritime transport.
