Port of Rotterdam
Sustainable Ships developed a techno-economic shore power feasibility study and custom assessment tool to support shipowner retrofit decisions.
The Port of Rotterdam required a clear and practical assessment of what is required for vessels to connect to shore power, both technically and economically. The objective was to support shipowners by providing quick, reliable insight into the feasibility, cost implications, and technical requirements of shore power conversion across different vessel types.
Sustainable Ships delivered a detailed shore power report combining a techno-economic feasibility study with a custom assessment tool. The work estimated conversion costs, identified technical challenges, and outlined applicable standards and retrofit options required to accommodate shore power onboard vessels. The results are used to help shipowners rapidly assess shore power conversion requirements and associated costs, supporting informed retrofit and investment decisions.

“Vincent has helped us understanding the challenges, considerations and cost impacts of getting an existing vessel ready for receiving shore power. The Sustainable Ships tools and report provide insight and work intuitively. We believe ship owners could definitely use the expertise that Sustainable Ships has to offer.”
