What is a containership power supply (Ops)?

Containerships rely on the highly pollutant marine fuel to operate, contributing to 50-60% of all ship emissions. Onshore power supply (OPS) is the delivery of shore side electrical power to a ship at berth so its main and auxiliary engines can be turned off.

Does powerCON provide shore power solutions for container terminals?

Over the recent years, PowerCon has started to supply shore power solutions for container terminals. Creating a new project named “PowerFlex”, PowerCon set out to design and implement low-cost and flexible shore power supply for containerships and include onboard battery charging into the system design.

What are the benefits of a containerized shore power system?

The benefits of a containerized shore power system are many. Most importantly, the containers allow us to pre-manufacture, pre-assemble, and pre-test our solutions in our factory, instead of onsite. Here, the containerized design also ensures easy and fast installation.

How many power supplies can be mounted in a 40ft container?

Power supplies <300kW can be mounted in only a single 40ft container, while greater powers can be achieved in multiple containers and connected upon delivery. Depending upon specifications, containerized power supplies may be stacked, or located side-by-side. Setup and testing or shut-down and packing can be achieved within a matter of days.
