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.

PRESIDENT'S INTRODUCTION

With the establishment of the European Onshore Power Supply Association we are working to broaden and accelerate our greenhouse gasses emission reduction and make a strong contribution toward full sustainability in Europe and the world.

The maritime industry is the cornerstone of our global trade and plays a key role in our international relations; in 2019, 80% of our global trade of goods was carried by sea.
