What is shore side electricity (SSE)?

Shore side electricity (SSE) is an effective measure to reduce port emissions. In 2008, the port in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, designed and installed the world’s first high-voltage shore power system [ 7 ].

Does each port have shore power equipment?

Each port is assigned a random number of berths, with varying numbers. According to the optimal decision of the proposed model, each berth in each port may be equipped with shore power equipment. The data in the literature [ 26, 27] is applied as the basis to determine the relevant parameter settings of Section 2.2.2 listed in Table 1. Table 1.

Do all ports have shore-side electricity?

This typically excludes vessel emissions and focusses on Scope 1/2 port operations only. A significant portion of ports around the world have signed shore power declarations to ‘deploy shore-side electricity by 2028 where possible’, including all large North Sea ports, Los Angeles, Montreal and all large Japanese ports.

Will shore-side electricity be available by 2028?

Government ministers and port authorities from around the world signed a shore power declaration at the One Ocean Summit on February 10th, 2022. Joined by the European Investment Bank, the stakeholders agreed to make best efforts to deploy shore-side electricity supply by 2028, in particular for cruise and container vessels.

Do ships need shore power?

The Californian government of the United States has formulated a timetable and route map for the use of shore power systems for ships calling at ports, requiring ships to use shore power when calling at ports with shore power facilities, and mandatory construction of ports that provide calling services for ships transporting a specified load.

Do government subsidies affect port shore power construction and ship shore power use?

For shipping companies, energy such as low-sulfur fuels and liquefied natural gas has become an essential supplementary means to meet emission reduction requirements. This research considers the impact of government subsidies on port shore power construction and ship shore power use.
