Amsterdam Tests Shore Power for Shortsea Vessels

In order to make the port more sustainable, the Port of Amsterdam conducted the first test of shore power for shortsea vessels at a terminal.

The test was carried out on a 3,500 dwt shortsea cargo vessel docked at the terminal in Amsterdam. Power was supplied for a battery unit housed in a shipping container provided by SKOON and which can be transported to the locations where power is required.
