Sustainable Ships assisted in developing a business case and go-to-market strategy for a mobile onshore power supply (OPS) service targeting major ports along the U.S. Gulf and East Coast. The work supports evaluation of commercial viability through the use of AIS data and Sustainable Ships’ Database, deployment strategy, and regulatory alignment for mobile OPS solutions.

Sustainable Ships is supporting Sif with a techno-economic business case to assess a mobile shore power solution with battery storage at the Sif terminal on Maasvlakte 2 in Rotterdam. The study evaluates whether a flexible, non-fixed shore power concept can reduce vessel emissions while meeting regulatory and operational requirements.

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 provided concept-level technical and economic support for the development of shore power infrastructure at the COMPORT port in Suriname. The work focused on defining viable shore power concepts, required equipment, and indicative investment costs for both port infrastructure and vessel retrofits.

Sustainable Ships performed a techno-economic feasibility study for the Province of South Holland and InnovationQuarter on offshore charging of tankers at the Scheveningen anchorage. The study combined technical assessment with economic analysis and was supported by a purpose-built parametric tool to explore design and cost sensitivities, concluding that offshore charging is both 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.

Sustainable Ships supported Skoon Energy in the deployment and operations of a multiple mobile shore battery systems designed to replace onboard auxiliary generators usage during port and shipyard operations in 2022. One shore battery system combined with a generator was deployed to supply electrical power to a RoRo Vehicle Carrier while in dock at Damen Shipyards Amsterdam. Another battery system on Noordereiland for the Port of Rotterdam to boost shore power for stationary inland vessels.

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