Written By Vincent Doedee

The Average Shore Power Demand Database provides the data foundation required to design and evaluate shore power infrastructure with confidence. By combining auxiliary engine specifications, calibrated load factors, measured operational datapoints and multiple industry datasets, the database translates vessel characteristics into realistic auxiliary power demand estimates at berth. Instead of relying on generic demand assumptions, users can work with harmonized ship-level data and GT-based scaling relationships to quantify electricity demand across vessel categories and sizes.
This enables ports, developers, utilities, consultants and investors to better understand expected power demand, infrastructure requirements and project economics. The database supports early-stage project development, infrastructure sizing and financial modelling by providing defensible demand assumptions that can be directly integrated into the Sustainable Ships OPS modelling framework.
Infrastructure sizing – Estimate auxiliary power demand to size shore power connections, transformers and substations.
Traffic mix analysis – Translate vessel traffic composition into realistic aggregated electricity demand profiles.
Project feasibility studies – Provide defensible demand inputs for shore power business case modelling.
Sensitivity analysis – Test the impact of vessel mix, operational assumptions and adoption rates on electricity demand.
Revenue modelling – Support electricity sales and utilization projections for OPS infrastructure investments.
