Mobile shore power connection for container ships at the port of Hamburg
At Container Terminal Hamburg (CTH), three mobile shore power connections have been installed on the quays to ensure a flexible, fast and safe power connection for container ships. Over lengths of 300, 150 and 110m, the shore power connection at CTH is precisely aligned with the ship's berth.
Mobile shore power connection at the cruise ship terminal in the port of Rotterdam
The port of Rotterdam relies on a modern shore power concept at its terminal for cruise ships. Whereas in the past the ships moored at the quay had to use their diesel generators to provide power, they are now supplied with electricity on land. The iMSPO Cruise, a socket that runs along the entire quay wall, allows for fast movement of the connection to the cruise ship.
e-dispenser ensures an uninterrupted power supply and short charging times at the port
Crowley's eWolf electric tug is the first all-electric port tug built and operated in the USA. A shore-side charging system is essential for the eWolf's electric operation, ensuring the tug can be connected and disconnected quickly and recharged reliably. This is made possible by the igus e-dispenser.
Space-saving shore-side power supply at the Tollerort terminal in Hamburg
At the Container Terminal Tollerort (CTT), the smallest terminal in the port of Hamburg in terms of area, an exceptionally space-saving and flexible shore-side power supply was to be found. The operator decided on an e-spool flex, a large drum with a rol e-chain®, in combination with a socket trolley that can be moved along the quay.
The Mongstad offshore base is one of the most frequently used bases in Norway. The shore power e-spool makes sure that the vessels that change twice a day are reliably supplied with shore power. Integrated in a 10-foot container, it can be positioned as desired.
Shore power cable management system for FSU in Bahrain
For the new offshore LNG terminal in Bahrain, Schneider Electric and igus® have developed the world's first shore-side power supply system for a floating storage unit (FSU). Its core component is a flexible cable feed system between the landing stage and the FSU.
"Hummel", the floating liquefied gas power plant from Becker Marine Systems, supplies cruise ships in the port with energy. The igus® shore power gangway, which serves both as a cable feed system and as a passenger gangway, connects the barge with the quay and guides cables with connectors.
