Sustainable Ships partnered with Natpower Marine to evaluate shore power integration for a hybrid merchant vessel, analyzing methanol, biofuels, and battery hybrids to assess cost, compliance, and long-term decarbonization benefits.

Sustainable Ships performed a techno-economic feasibility study for the Province of South-Holland and InnovationQuarter on offshore charging of tankers at the anchorage at Scheveningen. As part of the job, a purpose-build tool for interactive parametric design to create insights for decision-making. The study determined that offshore charging of tankers is technically and economically feasible.

Sustainable Ships provided the Port of Rotterdam with a techno-economic shore power feasibility study and a custom assessment tool for shipowners. The work estimated conversion costs, identified key technical challenges, and outlined applicable standards and retrofit requirements for connecting vessels to shore power. The study enables shipowners to quickly assess the technical implications and indicative costs of shore power conversion, supporting informed investment and retrofit decisions.

Sustainable Ships provided Damen Shipyards with a tailored report outlining upcoming sustainability regulations and their implications for the Damen vessel portfolio. The analysis covered key frameworks such as EEXI, CII, and EU ETS, included indicative cost assessments, and placed regulatory developments in a broader market context by considering the ambitions of energy majors, ports, and shipping companies. The report is used as a structured basis for long-term sustainability decision-making across Damen’s portfolio.

One of our crew members realized the largest shore power connection in Rotterdam - 20MW - from inception, to design, up to project management and execution.
