BLUE CONNECT is the Shore Power solution designed and offered by ERMA FIRST.
Shore Power is the connection of the vessel to the port’s electrical grid in order to power onboard systems and equipment. This enables the vessel’s diesel generators to be switched off with a resultant reduction in noise and emissions, including particulate matter, nitrogen, sulphur and carbon oxides, and volatile organic compounds.
Vessels with power demands higher than 1MVA must establish High Voltage Connections (6,6kV or 11kV) with the Port power grid, implementing suitable equipment according to international regulations and ports requirements.
