Port of Rotterdam aims to significantly increase use of shore-based power by 2030

The Port of Rotterdam Authority and the Muncipality of Rotterdam, have begun working together on the joint rollout of shore-based power for sea-going vessels in Rotterdam.

The partners will be initiating a series of projects over the next five years which are intended to accelerate and scale up the adoption of shore-based power.

Allard Castelein, CEO of the Port of Rotterdam Authority, said: “Our vision combines ambition and pragmatism. We will be setting up eight to ten shore-based power projects for a variety of sea-going vessel types.
