Connecting the vessels to the power grid at APM Terminals MVII, will reduce CO2 emissions by almost 7000 tpy. It will also reduce nitrogen and particulate emissions. Vessels will use a total of approximatly 13 000 MWh at the terminal annually.
Years of preparation and partnership preceded the signing of the agreement with Rotterdam Shore Power. Together, Rotterdam Shore Power and APM Terminals MVII are defining the further development and implementation of shore power facilities at the terminal. It is expected that the first vessels will be able to use the shore power facilities in 2028. That is in advance of the European regulations requiring shore power for container ships by 2030.
