• Sustainable Operations: Supported the Port of Stavanger’s commitment to building a green profile through innovative and environmentally friendly port services.
• Enhanced Efficiency: Enabled docked vessels to power onboard systems sustainably, contributing to global maritime sector decarbonization efforts.

Client Background

The Port of Stavanger, a major logistics hub in Norway, handles approximately 50,000 port calls annually and is visited by close to 500,000 cruise passengers. With over 5,500 meters of quay and 680,000 m² of land, the port plays a vital role in social development and environmental sustainability for its owner municipalities.

Sustainability Impact

The BluEco® Shore Power System allows ships to power onboard systems, such as ventilation and cooling, using grid electricity instead of diesel engines. This transition supports EU legislation and aligns with the port’s strategy to minimize emissions, noise, and energy consumption, contributing to a cleaner and greener maritime sector.

Project Execution

Blueday Technology’s operating center in Stavanger successfully executed the turnkey project in 2024, meeting all deadlines and client expectations. The installation at Risavika terminal marks a milestone in the Port of Stavanger’s sustainability journey, reinforcing its leadership in eco-friendly port operations.
