PORTS AND LOGISTICS

Electrifying Port Infrastructure

Port decarbonisation is accelerating globally, driven by regulatory pressure, shipping commitments, and the need to power shore power systems and electric logistics operations.

Focus Areas Our Capabilities Our Work Our Experts
RECENT FOCUS AREAS
Shore Power Grid Connection
Delivering high-voltage grid connections to support onshore power supply (OPS) for vessels at berth, reducing emissions and improving air quality in port cities.
Port Energy Masterplanning
Developing integrated energy strategies covering grid connection, renewables, battery storage, and hydrogen for entire port operations and expansion programmes.
Cold Ironing Infrastructure
Advising on the grid and electrical infrastructure required to support high-voltage shore power systems (HVSC) for large cruise and container vessels.
Logistics Hub Electrification
Supporting the electrification of warehousing, freight handling, and transport hubs co-located with port facilities — from EV fleet charging to electric cranes.
Hydrogen Readiness Assessment
Evaluating the infrastructure and regulatory requirements for green hydrogen bunkering at port — positioning operators for the emerging maritime hydrogen economy.

Decarbonising Maritime and Logistics Infrastructure

Shore Power Strategy
Designing and managing grid connections for onshore power supply systems serving major ports across Europe and beyond.
Port Energy Planning
Developing whole-port energy strategies that integrate grid, renewables, storage, and hydrogen to meet decarbonisation targets and regulatory requirements.
Grid Connection Management
End-to-end management of grid connection applications, offers, and agreements for port electrification and shore power programmes.
Hydrogen Readiness Assessment
Evaluating the infrastructure and commercial readiness of ports for green hydrogen bunkering and production as regulatory mandates tighten.

Our Work

Case Study

Shore Power Programme, Northern European Port

Delivered a 25MW shore power grid connection and OPS infrastructure programme for a major container port, enabling zero-emission berthing for 80% of vessel calls.

Portfolio Advisory

Port Energy Masterplan, Mediterranean Region

Developed a 20-year port energy masterplan integrating shore power, on-site solar, battery storage, and hydrogen readiness for a major Mediterranean cruise and cargo port.
