Sandnes Havn Embraces BluEco® Shore Power Solution
December 16, 2024
Challenges
- Transition Sandnes Havn toward a zero-emission harbor, aligning with environmental sustainability goals.
- Enable docked vessels to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, noise, and vibrations by minimizing reliance on diesel engines.
- Implement a flexible and scalable shore power system tailored to the unique needs of the port.
Solutions
- BluEco® Shore Power System: A modular and distributed architecture customized to meet Sandnes Havn’s specific requirements.
- Comprehensive Delivery: Blueday Technology managed the design, engineering, supply, installation, and commissioning of the shore power system.
- Shore-to-Ship Power: Enabled vessels to draw electricity from the local grid, supporting onboard systems like ventilation and cooling while docked.
Results
- Significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, noise pollution, and vibrations, enhancing the environmental quality for the port and its surroundings.
- Enhanced maintenance opportunities for docked vessels, as engines remain off during power supply from the local grid.
- Positioned Sandnes Havn as a forward-thinking, sustainable zero-emission harbor, contributing to Norway’s environmental goals.
