The Port of Kiel has completed the final phase of its extensive shore power infrastructure. With the expansion, the port can now supply up to three cruise ships and four ferries with emission-free electricity simultaneously.
Kiel has been providing green shore power to seagoing vessels since 2019, making it one of the pioneers in Europe.
Over the weekend, the port commissioned its second facility for cruise ships at the Ostseekai terminal. Instead of one vessel, the terminal can now supply two cruise ships with shore power at the same time. Another cruise ship can connect at the Ostuferhafen terminal.
The completed extension makes Kiel’s infrastructure one of the most extensive worldwide.
