How much power does a ship actually draw at berth? The same vessel can vary by 300%, sister ships doing exactly the same can differ by 30%, and Tankers of the same size can differ tenfold in installed capacity. This masterclass explains the methodology we use to estimate average shore power demand per ship category, using GT-based scaling functions and calibrated load factors built on 7,102 ships and 153 measured datasets.

Shore power is becoming mandatory in the EU from 2030, but no regulation says what it should cost. This masterclass explains how an OPS connection is defined, the three pricing models used across EU ports, what shipowners currently pay per kWh, and how that compares to generating electricity onboard.
