ABB has won a contract with Rotterdam Shore Power (RSP), a joint venture by the Port of Rotterdam and energy company Eneco, to engineer and construct the world’s largest shore power system network.

The combined shore power systems are expected to be over 100 megavolt-amperes (MVA). The installations will help to significantly reduce emissions in the Port of Rotterdam and support compliance with the FuelEU Maritime Regulation. The legislation will require all container and passenger ships above 5,000 gross tonnage to use onshore power supply or equivalent zero-emission technology in EU ports starting from 1 January 2030.
