ABS leads innovative BlueBARGE cold ironing project

BlueBARGE concept

ABS is leading the BlueBARGE Project. Funded by the Horizon Europe program, it involves 14 partners from 10 European countries and is developing and testing a new way for ships docked in port to plug into electrical power, known as cold ironing, rather than using their onboard generators.

Other BlueBARGE consortium members are: Fundación Valenciaport, Norges teknisk-naturvitenskapelige Universitet; Hydrus Advanced Consolidated Engineering Services S.A; Aalborg Universitet; Elkon Elektrik Sanayi...

EBDG’s CHAMP barge will be Wärtsilä powered

CHAMP barge

In a move to cut vessel emissions in U.S. ports, Seattle, Wash., based naval architecture firm Elliott Bay Design Group (EBDG) has entered into a collaboration agreement with Wärtsilä that will see the two companies further develop EBDG’s Clean Harbor Alternative Mobile Power (CHAMP) barge design.

CHAMP will provide a power range from 6 to 16 MW, using green methanol as its source, for two weeks or longer before refueling becomes necessary.

It will address the need to reduce port emissions by...

ΟΛΗ: Με το βλέμμα στην ανάπτυξη υποδομών για την ηλεκτροδότηση ελλιμενισμένων πλοίων

To πλαίσιο των προϋποθέσεων που χρειάζονται τα ελληνικά λιμάνια για να μπορέσει να προχωρήσει η απαραίτητη υλοποίηση των υποδομών για την ηλεκτροδότηση των ελλιμενισμένων πλοίων (Cold Ironing), με στόχο τη μείωση των εκπομπών άνθρακα, παρουσιάστηκε σε ειδική ημερίδα που πραγματοποίησε ο Οργανισμός Λιμένα Ηρακλείου, στην Αθήνα.

Σημειώνεται ότι η δημιουργία εγκαταστάσεων παροχής ρεύματος στα ευρωπαϊκά λιμάνια για την ηλεκτροδότηση των πλοίων, είναι κάτι που η ΕΕ ζητεί υποχρεωτικά από το 2030 στο...

Further measures to curb ship emissions in Californian ports may emerge from the Californian Air Resources Board, reports Ship And Bunker.

Cold ironing

While the authority requires some ships to switch to cold ironing when at berth, stafff at the organisation have asked the CARB board for direction on the issue, accoding shipping news provider Tradewinds citing a new report from the organisation.

Although CARB did not respond to the Tradewinds story, a local ngo...

Will The Decarb Issue Be Resolved By Zero-Emissions Solution?

  • Nevertheless, there are still many ports around the world where it is not possible to set up an onshore power plant due to constraints in grid connections and capacity.
  • Additional benefits of supplying a ship with an onshore hydrogen PEM fuel cell power is the reduction of vibration and noise pollution.
  • If the solution is built on a barge, it would be possible to move it from berth to berth as needed and to anchorage points to power ships that are waiting for mooring space.

The marine...

Erma First adds shore power solution to its offerings

Perema, Greece, headquartered ballast water treatment specialist Erma First S.A. is getting into the cold ironing business. It has launched Blue Connect, a high-voltage shore power solution designed to seamlessly facilitate a vessel’s connection to a port’s electrical grid in order to power the vessel’s systems and equipment while at birth.

This enables the ship’s diesel generators to be switched off, with a resultant reduction in noise and emissions.

In the Blue Connect system the vessel is...

Hydrogen power barge project brings rocket science on board

A French consortium is planning to put a multi-service power barge into operation in the Port of Rouen that would supply energy and hydrogen to ships during port calls, enabling cold-ironing and cutting down on emissions.

Partners in the project are Améthyste, ArianeGroup, Cetim, Hydrogène de France (HDF Energy), Rubis Terminal and Sofresid Engineering

Called the Elementa H2, the power barge would integrate a multi-MW hydrogen fuel cell system manufactured in France by HDF Energy and a...
