EUROPEAN ONSHORE POWER SUPPLY ASSOCIATION

Onshore Power Supply (OPS) is also known as Shore side electricity (SSE), Shore
Connection, Shore-to-ship Power, Cold ironing, Alternative Maritime Power ...

EOPSA, A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE

While in port, ships use their Auxiliary Engines (AE) to produce electricity.Shore-side energy (SSE) has the potential to eliminate ships engines emissions in ports and cities, reducing each pollutant by about 90% and greenhouse gas emissions by 50%, as well as reducing noise, vibration and engine wear-and-tear.

EOPSA' members are building and manufacturing the advanced solutions for transforming today’s ships stopovers in ports to be greener, competitive and strategic.

A truly sustainable future will be based on safe, efficient and innovative technologies and structures.
