ABB's Shore Connection Technology Drives Decarbonization of DEME's Fleet in the Port of Vlissingen
Introduction
According to an article on Newswire Today, ABB's shore connection technology is driving the decarbonization efforts of DEME's fleet in the Port of Vlissingen. DEME, a leading global solutions provider for the offshore energy industry, has set a goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from its fleet by 40% by 2030 compared to 2008 levels.
ABB's Shore Connection Technology
ABB's shore connection technology allows vessels to connect to the power grid while berthed, enabling them to avoid emissions from their engines. This technology supports DEME's long-term decarbonization strategy and provides the flexibility required to adapt to changing grid conditions.
Contract with ABB
ABB has secured a contract to deliver shoreside shore connection installations in the Port of Vlissingen, allowing DEME's diverse fleet to reduce emissions when berthed. The installation of shore power will be completed by the end of 2024.
Environmental Impact and Sustainability
This initiative by DEME and ABB is a significant step towards reducing the environmental impact of the maritime industry and achieving sustainability goals.
