As requirement for shore power use in ports around the world gets more wide spread more ships gets prepared for it and more ports are able to offer supplies at their wharfs.
But what about when the shops are at anchor within the ports?
Norwayâs TECO 2030 has launched a new product concept for its containerised fuel cells, the TECO 2030 Power Barge, which will be able to power ships at anchor. The invention comprises TECO 2030 fuel cell modules, batteries, power electronics, safety...

PS> Singapore will need a few of those:
Zero emission Coastal Express vessels on the Norwegian coast by 2030 is the aim:
The Sea Zero project aims to enable zero-emission passenger and freight transport along the coast by 2030, through developing and demonstrating emission-free ships for Hurtigruten Norway. In order to achieve this goal, combinations of various measures must be considered both in terms of energy efficiency (ship design and operation) and energy supply (fuel and emissions). In addition, the application of certain technologies will require the development of port infrastructure (e.g. charging).
Some of these technologies are relatively mature, but still need R&D for scaling up, maritime adaptation and optimization. Other technologies are immature and require more fundamental research. The project consists of industry players and R&D institutions with expertise and products/services in the technology areas that are considered most critical to succeeding in the ambition.
