DFDS vessels connect to onshore power supply in Gothenburg
\”This is a green milestone for DFDS and the Port of Gothenburg. We have worked towards this for a long time and we are extremely pleased that DFDS has taken up our offer of onshore power supply,\” said Magnus Karestedt, Port of Gothenburg CEO.
Onshore power supply (OPS) means that vessels shut down their engines while at berth and use power from the quayside to operate all the functions on board. Carbon emissions are reduced substantially and emissions of sulphur dioxide, nitric oxide and particles are kept to a minimum. OPS also results in a quieter port environment and a better working environment on the vessel.
The Port of Gothenburg was the first in the world to offer high-voltage OPS when Stora Enso connected all its freight vessels back in 2000.
