Innovation with Sustainable Microgrid Technology will Strengthen Ports of Stockholm

By | 2024 Newsletter week 48 | No Comments

Ports of Stockholm is launching an innovative project to integrate onshore power supply (OPS) with microgrid technology at the Port of Kapellskär. This initiative, funded by the Swedish Innovation Agency Vinnova, aims to combine solar cell systems, battery energy storage systems (BESS), and an advanced energy management system (EMS) to ensure a reliable power supply, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and enhance the port’s resilience to disruptions.

The project is a collaboration between Ports of Stockholm, the University of Skövde, Stella Futura, and Ilmatar. It is scheduled to run from November 2024 to November 2027, with the demonstration system being implemented at the Port of Kapellskär, approximately 90 kilometers north of Stockholm.

This development aligns with EU regulations requiring onshore power connections for ships by 2030, addressing the increased demands on the electricity grid and contributing to the port’s environmental goals.

Sustainable Transport Node Initiative By Four Ports

Ports of Stockholm, Belfast, Lübeck and Ghent have applied for EU grant funding to invest in the role of ports as a node and driving force in sustainable transport provision.

The joint application is for green ports of the future to be multi-modal nodes for sustainable and smart mobility through innovation and research within electrification and development of alternative fuels.

The overarching goal is the significant reduction of air pollutant emissions within port areas.

For Ports of Stockholm, the planned project includes the possibility to scale up existing onshore power electricity connection capabilities to be able to charge heavier road vehicles and to provide large-scale battery charging facilities for RoPax ships. Stena Line, a customer of the ports in both Stockholm and Belfast, is one of the additional alliance partners in the EU application for investment in electrification and battery-powered shipping.

The application also includes testing of emission-free machinery within the port areas, a study and pilot trial of autonomous passenger boats and last mile delivery services, as well as charging capabilities for smaller passenger vessels.

Stena Line’s STENA FLAVIA was the first to call at the roro terminal of Stockholm Norvik Port (in Nynäshamn).

The arrival coincided with the opening of the gates to the new roro terminal, offering substantially greater capacity and growth opportunities for multiple shipping companies.

The new ferry terminal is an important part of Stena Lines expansion plans in the Baltic Sea that includes the deployment of two new modern ferries and 30 % additional freight capacity on the Nynäshamn-Ventspils route in 2021 (the lengthened ferries).

Ports Of Stockholm Satisfied With Freight – Passenger Strategy

By | 2018 Newsletter week 43 | No Comments

Ro-ro freight grew by a total of 5%.

The largest increases were at ports located outside the heart of Stockholm itself, entirely in line with the strategy to concentrate passenger services to the city’s central ports and freighted goods to the ports peripheral to Stockholm’s city centre.

At the Port of Kapellskär, north of Stockholm, goods volumes grew by 7%, and at the Port of Nynäshamn, south of Stockholm, growth was 15%.

Freight volumes to and from Poland have risen by as much as 60%.
