The challenge

Shore power is coming. The hard part isn't the cables.

Regulation sets the clock

EU rules require shore power at major ports by 2030, and Scope 3 reporting is pushing shipping lines and cargo owners towards cleaner port calls.

The capex is large

Substations, quay cables and often upstream grid upgrades, with long paybacks for terminals that aren't running full.

Recovery decides who wins

Charge too little and margins erode. Charge the wrong way and price-sensitive volume walks to a cheaper port.
