Future supply of floating vesselsLena Heldgaard Pind Jensen2024-08-07T13:28:06+02:00 Future supply of floating vesselsWhen large ships are supplied with renewable energy from the landward side, it reduces both CO₂ emission and air pollution. Artelia helps establish the popular power plants on land in Hamburg and Aarhus. Many large cruise ships and cargo ships use fossil fuels. This is a major item in the CO₂ balance and contributes to the particle pollution in the cities where the ships dock like Aarhus which is a popular destination for cruise tourists. Aarhus Harbour has an ambition to become the most sustainable harbour in the Baltic Sea area. One of the paths to this is a power plant on land for cruise ships which Artelia is helping PowerCon establish. The plant will also make the harbour more attractive to cruise ships that have already switched to land current which is an increasing trend. Two plants in Hamburg The collaboration with PowerCon also goes beyond the Danish borders with the establishment of two power plants on land in Hamburg. In the German metropolis, the plants will supply a container terminal for shipping and a cruise terminal for cruise tourism. The plants are designed by Artelia Denmark with assistance to conditions regarding local authorities from our colleagues in Artelia’s office in Hamburg. Artelia has designed the structures, which were modelled in Tekla.
