ABB's shore-to-ship power solution for Rotterdam - 3D

Today, more than 100,000 vessels dock at 4,500 ports worldwide producing around 900 million metric tons of CO2 emissions annually. This is equivalent to the emissions from 220 coal-fired power plants and it has been estimated that by year 2015 the volume of trade carried by sea will have tripled. ABB's shore-to-ship power solution helps to reduce emissions by 98 percent and cut noise and vibrations in ports substantially by connecting ships to the port's electricity grid via shore-to-ship power connection.
