for ports and ships
A port equals a city
The majority of large port cities were
established to provide vital access to the
sea. Now, more than ever, ports are a
driving force for economic development,
international trade, and cultural exchange.
However, ports are often perceived by the
local community as a nuisance — especially
in terms of pollution. Of particular concern
is the pollution generated by ships at berth,
which has become unacceptable to today’s
environmentally aware citizens.

Do the ships in your port meet the
new environmental regulations?
Ship emissions represent an ever-increasing environmental
concern. Around the globe, strong measures are being taken
on several fronts to dramatically cut the emissions of berthed
ships and to improve the quality of life for the communities
around the port.
Global measures to cut
ship emissions
International regulations
The IMO
The IMO (International Maritime Organization)
acts on SOX and NOX emissions by:
• Drafting regulations such as the
MARPOL 73/78 Convention.
• Marking out Emission Control Areas (ECAs)
in conjunction with national governments,
primarily in the Baltic and North Seas,
as well as around the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts.

Local and federal regulations
The European Union
The EU acts by:
• Proposing environmental regulations, such
as Directive 2005/33/EC, which restricts
the sulphur content of marine fuel used by
ships docked for more than two hours to
no more than 0.1%.
• Issuing environmental recommendation
2006/339/EG that advocates shoreside power.
• Implementing subsidised programs such
as Marco Polo to co-finance shore
connection projects.
China
As part of its five-year plan 2011 - 2015, the
Chinese Ministry of Transport has addressed
the pollution problem in ports and identified
shore connection as a solution.
California, USA
The California Air Resources Board is a
leading environmental body. Its decisions
serve as a benchmark for the entire USA.
In California:
• Ships equipped with shore connection
systems have been required to use them
since January 1, 2010.
• In 2014, ships wishing to dock must have
shore connection systems and 50% of the
power they use will have to be electrical.
This percentage will increase to 70% in
2017 and 80% in 2020.
Proactive organisations
Port associations such as the World Port
Climate Initiatives (WPCI) or the International
Network of Port Cities (AIVP) encourage
members to go for further regulations.
As a major green solution for ports, shore
connection power supply is supported by
several associations.
They promote technologies and best
practices which are better for the
environment, the community living around the
port and the port's competitiveness.

Meet environmental regulations
in the most profitable way
Today, berthed ships have two different ways to meet
environmental regulations: they can either generate their
own electricity using clean fuel or they can connect to power
sockets at the port. Research has shown that the latter is the
most sustainable solution in every way.
Reducing port fees
Reducing CO2 emissions
Created by WPCI, The Environmental Ship
Index (3) (ESI) measures the quantities of
NOX, SOX, PM and CO2 emissions from
a ship and give grades accordingly to
assess ship environmental performance.
As shore connection is a green technology,
ships equipped with the solution receive
a higher grade. To promote best practices,
several ports are using ESI as a factor when
calculating port fees. Greener ships can
enjoy fees rebate up to 10%.
The total CO2 emission reduction depends
on how the electricity used is produced. In
the European Union, the use of shore-side
electricity rather than electricity generated
by a ship using low-sulphur fuel will cut CO2
emissions by an average of 50% (1).
Elimination of noise
and vibrations
The main cause of noise pollution in ports
is the use of auxiliary diesel engines to
generate electricity on ships. The noise can
reach 120 dB near the engines and the
associated vibrations are unpleasant for
crew, passengers and port personnel.
However, all this noise is eliminated by using
a shore connection system.
Cutting SOX, NOX and PM
One of the main benefits of shore
connection systems stems from the fact
that electricity generated on land by power
plants has a smaller eco-footprint than that
produced by ship engines.

New standard supports shore
connection deployment
The IEC/ISO/IEEE 80005-1 standard sets the
general requirements for shore connection
systems in ports (voltage rates, cables, sockets,
standardisation, etc.) and enable ships to plug in
to any port worldwide. Schneider Electric is an
active member of this standardisation committee.
Sustainable development and economic growth are not
mutually exclusive. In fact, many port cities have been able
to incorporate both economic and environmental factors into
their development plans.
Low-sulphur fuel prices
on the rise
New business
Ports installing shore connections at their
berths would provide a new service to ships
and so be rewarded. By selling electricity
when ships plug in to their shore connection
installations, ports enjoy revenues which
enable them to have a return on investment.
Global demand for fuel is set to rise
significantly. The United States Energy
Information Administration forecasts that
demand for refined petroleum products will
grow by 1.5% per year over the next five
years. Current fuel prices make shore-side
electricity a financially attractive option (1).

power supplied by a grid generates less pollution
than that produced by a ship – and displays the

Differentiate your port by providing
efficient, green energy
Shore connection solutions from Schneider Electric include an EMCS
(Energy Management and Control System) and an EMIS (Energy
Management Information System) which allow you to track how you
meet your environmental obligations whilst you establish your port
as a provider of clean energy to ships.
Create a preference
for your port,whilst
you minimise your
operational costs
and carbon
footprint.
Have a green
port operation,
and show it!
Monitor and control the performance of your new installations
The implementation of a shore connection
solution in your port will require a new
infrastructure, and new operations and
processes will need to be put in place. To be
able to monitor, control and ensure best-inclass performance of your new installations,
high-performing EMCS and EMIS systems
are required.
• Get visibility of your energy profile at
terminal or port level (or multi-site level)
and measure, monitor and analyse your
energy consumption down to load level
Our EMCS and EMIS systems not
only monitor, control and ensure high
performance of your installations, they also
merge the collected data into your port’s
operation management and control system
and allow you to:
• Predict your energy consumption
*A negawatt is an unused electrical watt which is
saved due to energy-efficient electricity usage.
8
• Take energy-management decisions based
on relevant, accurate and reliable data
• Give ships best-in-class energy and
services
• Negotiate better contracts with utilities
• Sell negawatts* back to the grid
• Collect and report your environmental KPIs
Our EMCS and EMIS systems track and report all the data you
need in real time, letting you manage your shore connection
systems in an integrated way in relation to the rest of your
port’s operations and processes.
