Shore Power

In terms of climate protection, this means that our port calls are almost emission-free. Specifically, we eliminate an average of up to 20 metric tons of CO₂, and significantly reduce sulfur, nitrogen oxide and fine particle emissions. A major plus for local air quality.

However, shore power only makes environmental sense if it is produced eco-sustainably and in the most climate-friendly way possible. Due to this, only a few ports worldwide are currently equipped with these systems, mainly in Northern Europe.

Nevertheless, as a company we are already committed to using green shore power whenever available dockside and are continually exploring options to expand our use of this at other ports. To enable this we have retrofitted the entire Mein Schiff^® fleet and fit all our newbuilds with a shore power connection during construction.
