Narvik has recently built a new cruise quay, and now the new quay soon will be able to offer the ships to connect to the power grid when they are docked.
“This is an important environmental measure for the port and for the city of Narvik. Shore power reduces both emissions and noise from port activities. Dialogue with the shipping companies shows that there is a willingness to connect to a future shore power facility,” says port director B\u00f8rge Edvardsen Klingan of Narvik Havn KF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The port will cooperate with Plug Nord on the development. Plug Nord is a regional collaboration in the North of Norway between Plug AS, Nordkraft Prosjekt AS, Lofotkraft Muligheter AS, Trollfjord AS, And\u00f8y Energi Holding AS and Vester\u00e5lskraft AS. Plug has extensive experience from the construction and operation of shore power facilities, and has, among other things, built Europe’s largest shore power facility for cruise in Bergen and as well as a facility in \u00c5lesund. In Northern Norway, Plug and Plug Nord already cooperate with the port of Harstad, V\u00e5gan and Hadsel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The shore power facility in Narvik will be able to supply one cruise ship at a time. The plan is to build both a high-voltage facility for the larger cruise ships and a smaller low-voltage facility that will be able to serve the smaller cruise vessels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“This illustrates that shore power is an important part of a more environmentally friendly future. We are building the infrastructure necessary for the ships to connect. We know that some of the cruise vessels are ready to receive shore power, but we hope more ship owners will follow suit. That is the only way we can maximize usage and significantly reduce emissions,” says Maria Bos, CEO of Plug and Plug Nord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Electrification and the transition from fossil to renewable energy is a priority area for Norway to pave the way for emission-free shipping. The Government’s ambition is to reduce emissions from domestic shipping and fishing by 50 per cent by 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“If all goes according to plan, it will be possible to complete the facilities during 2024. We look forward to offering the cruise ships calling at Narvik environmentally friendly energy from shore,” says B\u00f8rge Edvardsen Klingan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is a market potential to deliver more than 2 million kWh\/year. For every kWh we manage to deliver to a ship, CO\u2082 emissions are reduced by approximately 0.8 kg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
