At the end of last year, Swiss-based engineering company, Cavotec signed three shore power orders worth €7 mill for installation in Italian ports.
These orders highlight the growing adoption of sustainable port technologies in Italy, as ports transition to more environmentally friendly operations, the company said.
The first order involves the delivery of Cavotec’s PowerMove and PowerFeed systems to support cruise vessels at several ports across western Italy.
This project will enhance shore power connectivity across the region.
The second order includes Cavotec’s PowerMove technology for both cruise and ro-ro vessels in Tuscany.
This project will enable two ports to reduce emissions and improve their environmental performance.
The third order is for two PowerMove systems to connect cruise vessels and a PowerExtend to connect containerships at a port in southern Italy.
Equipment deliveries for the projects are scheduled between early and mid-2026.
These developments will contribute significantly to reducing emissions and improving air quality in Italian ports, Cavotec’ claimed.
