UK-based automation solutions provider and systems integrator iconsys has launched a new ship-to-shore power solution for use with passenger ferries and other types of vessels.
Designed to help the maritime industry meet increasingly strict sustainability and emissions targets, iconvert is a turnkey solution that offers unlimited flexibility in terms of voltage and frequency. It can also be equipped with batteries to form a microgrid to minimise demand on local power grids in ports.
iconvert uses proven mature electric or hydrogen technology platforms to ensure regulatory compliance and includes cloud-based asset performance monitoring and energy usage.
“We are thrilled to be able to offer a new solution to support decarbonisation of the marine sector to assist vessels in reducing emissions while in port,” said Tim Munn, business development consultant for marine and ports at iconsys.
