Project BOEI
Sustainable Ships developed a techno-economic feasibility study for Provincie on electrification of tankers at Scheveningen anchorage
Project summary
The Province of South Holland and InnovationQuarter sought to understand whether offshore electrification of tankers at the Scheveningen anchorage could be a viable solution to reduce emissions from vessels at anchor. The objective was to assess technical feasibility, cost implications, and key design parameters to support public-sector decision-making.
Sustainable Ships developed a techno-economic feasibility study covering offshore charging concepts, infrastructure requirements, and operational constraints. As part of the work, a dedicated interactive parametric design tool was developed, allowing stakeholders to test assumptions and explore how technical and economic outcomes change under different scenarios. The analysis demonstrated that offshore charging of tankers at anchorage is feasible from both a technical and economic perspective.
Key highlights
Client was the Dutch Provincial Government in a public-private consortium of 10 different companies
Problem was the inability to determine techno-economic feasibility for offshore electrification infrastructure
Ship type investigated was a seagoing Crude Oil Tanker at anchorage
