Future Fuels: What will power the shipping industry of tomorrow?

Port cooperation in action
03.02.2025
BREMERHAVEN. Bremerhaven has set up a consortium with the ports of Aarhus, Gothenburg and Stockholm. The goal is to provide container ships with shore-side electricity at all four sites by 2030. These four ports will receive an 18.8 million euro subsidy for their projects from the EU as part of the EU “Connecting Europe Facilities” fund, of which more than five million euros will be going to Bremerhaven. “This fits in perfectly with our ambitious land-based power expansion targets. In Bremerhaven, the plans for two new, mobile and one fixed system at the container quay and one each at the cruise terminal and the car port are currently being implemented. In the long term, corresponding systems should be available later at other berths,” reported Kristina Vogt, Senator for Economics, Ports and Transformation.
