Understanding Onshore Power Supply
Onshore Power Supply, also known as Cold Ironing or Alternate Marine Power, is a system conceived for supplying electrical power to ships at port.

The Fuel EU Maritime Regulation, effective from January 1, 2025, mandates that vessels over 5,000 gross tonnage reduce their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions progressively. Read the article to know more.
The Fuel EU Maritime Regulation aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from shipping by encouraging the use of renewable and low-carbon fuels, progressively stricter limits on the GHG intensity of energy used by ships, and onshore power supply in ports.
FuelEU Maritime is a regulation structure in the European Union’s “Fit for 55” package that addresses the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the maritime sector.
CII is an operational efficiency measure of a vessel that applies to ships of 5,000 gross tonnage and above. CII is a function of grams of CO2 emitted per cargo-carrying capacity and nautical miles.
MEPC 82 focuses on advancing a global fuel GHG standard (GFS) and a levy to ensure that the “polluter pays” principle is applied, raising revenues to support a “just and equitable energy transition”.
IMO’s 2023 GHG Strategy set a target of 40% reduction in carbon intensity by 2030, which can be achieved by using sustainable marine fuels, zero or near-zero GHG emission fuels. Read this article to know more.
The maritime sector is responsible for around 2-3% of global CO2 emissions and thus exploring biofuels in shipping highlights their promise for greener oceanic transport. Read the article to know more.
Ammonia (NH3) is emerging as a potential marine fuel due to its zero carbon dioxide emissions when combusted. Green Ammonia, which is produced using renewable energy sources, is the sustainable alternative to conventional ammonia.
