Portsmouth International Port, UK Portsmouth International Port aims to be carbon net neutral by 2030, and one of the UK’s first zeroemissions ports by 2050. Key to this bold ambition is Sea Change, a UK Government-funded, multi-user, multi-berth and multi-frequency shore power system, which will be a national first. The system will launch in 2025 and will enable customers to reduce emissions at berth and improve air quality for Portsmouth residents. Alongside this and other projects, the port also boasts a new terminal building which generates more energy than it consumes thanks to a modern solar and battery system. Copenhagen, Denmark In May 2024, construction of shore power facilities began at the Ocean Quay cruise pier in Copenhagen, Denmark. The project follows the completion of the previous shore power installation in Aarhus, Denmark’s second-largest city, in 2023. The facility is expected to be operational by 2025 and fully functional by 2028, and it will be one of the largest shore power facilities in Europe. Copenhagen and Aarhus will benefit from cleaner air, and cruise lines and their passengers will be able to reduce their environmental impact when travelling to Denmark and the Baltic Sea. Port of Le Havre, France At the Port of Le Havre, the Pointe de Floride development project is continuing to progress. This summer, Le Havre SeineMetropole began the construction of the three new cruise terminals, which will be able to host zero-emission port calls. The buildings will feature photovoltaic roofs and promote energy-efficient operations. Haropa Port has also started work to implement shore power at the terminals. Quay Pierre Callet, Quay Roger Meunier and Quay Joannes Couvert are scheduled to be completed by February 2025, December 2025 and December 2026, respectively. 175
