Why is shore power supply important for docked vessels?

A shore power supply allows docked vessels to receive electricity from onshore sources instead of running onboard generators. This reduces fuel consumption, emissions, and noise pollution at ports. Shore Power Supply systems provide stable and regulated power for lighting, climate control, and onboard equipment. They also reduce engine wear and maintenance costs. By enabling vessels to shut down auxiliary engines, shore power improves air quality in coastal areas. As ports adopt greener practices, shore power systems are becoming a standard solution for sustainable maritime operations.
