Following a successful factory acceptance test (FAT), ShoreLink’s Cruise Cable Management System was recently taken to La Spezia and is currently in storage, ready to be deployed.
In co-operation with MONT-ELE, ShoreLink’s solution will enable cleaner port operations and support environmental targets through a more sustainable approach to cruise vessel stays, the company claimed.
The ShoreLink Cruise Cable Management System (CMS) is designed to deliver cables from the shore to the ship, to ensure a safe and efficient power transfer.
One of its key features is the ability to connect and disconnect all cables independently, one at a time, providing enhanced usability and efficiency for operators.
Its operation requires only one person using a remote control. The same remote control is also used to reel and unreel the cables, simplifying the entire cable handling process.
The system is designed for easy operation with minimal crew, enhancing flexibility and reducing the need for complex manoeuvres.
Built to comply with the IEC 80005 standard, the system meets international shore power requirements.
ShoreLink’s equipment is manufactured in Europe, with all of the production taking place at its facility in Estonia.
The company is represented in Italy by Stelio Bardi Marine Technologies – a well-established local company.
Stelio Bardi, Stelio Bardi Marine Technologies’ Founder, said: “We have always paid attention to the development of new technologies to be the first able to offer new equipment and systems to our customers.”
