ABB and Cavotec have signed a memorandum of understanding to jointly provide complete shore-to-ship power solutions worldwide.
Such solutions enable vessels to plug into an onshore power supply and shut down their engines, thereby reducing noxious emissions, noise and vibrations while berthed in ports that are usually located in city surroundings.

The technology enables a seamless switch from on-board generation to shore power supply, without disrupting services, including lighting, heating and refrigeration.
ABB and Cavotec will join their expertise and resources to supply advanced and customised solutions to global ports markets, and complete lifecycle services and support.
ABB’s shore-to-ship power systems comprise technologies for port electrification, frequency conversion systems, power transformers, control and protection equipment, as well as consulting services.
