Shore Power Market Outlook - 2027

While docked at port, ships require capacity to keep up their lights, warming, cooling, and other basic vessel capacities. Commonly, this force is given by running ship's diesel-powered auxiliary engines. Shore power, also called cold-ironing or marine force is the way toward giving electrical power from the shore to a boat while its docked, in this manner permitting ship's assistant motors to be turned off and burning of diesel fuel to cease. Shore power is an effective technology to reduce harmful air emission to improve air quality. Shore power saves consumption of fuel that would otherwise be used to power vessels while in port, and removes air pollution related with consumption of that fuel.  The source for land-based power may be grid power from an electric utility company, but also probably an external remote generator. These generators may be powered by diesel or renewable energy sources such as wind or solar. 

Market scope and structure analysis

Covid-19 scenario analysis:

• The global market for shore power is severely impacted by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. 
• The COVID-19 pandemic saw a decline in the economic growth in almost all the major countries, thus affecting consumer spending patterns. 
• Owing to the lockdown implemented across various countries, national and international transport have been hampered, which has significantly impacted the supply chain of numerous industries across the globe, thereby increasing the supply–demand gap.
• Thus, insufficiency in raw material supply is expected to hamper the production rate of shore power, which negatively impact the market growth.

Top impacting factors: Market Scenario Analysis, Trends, Drivers and Impact Analysis

The shore power market is foreseen to grow during the forecast period attributable to driving variables, for example, expanding number of luxury ships in shipping business and establishment of retrofit shore power system. The establishment expense and maintenance hamper development of shore power demand. Government initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from ports provide significant opportunities for the shore power market. High maintenance cost and installation cost of shore power are factors that hinder growth of this market. 

New product launches to flourish the market 

Niedersachsen State's Ports Authority granted Siemens, an agreement to introduce the Siemens' Siharbor shore power supply framework at the offshore for vessel billet. The extent of the arrangement involved the incorporation of the transformer station, and an 8DJH MV switchgear. This helped the organization to customize, innovate, and upgrade the nature of its items and administrations. This agreement is backed by grant amount of €1.5M. Niedersachsen installed Siemens’ Siharbor shore power supply system at the offshore vessel berth, so vessels can "cold iron" instead of adding to pollution with emissions from auxiliary engines.

Surge in use in shipping applications

With more increasing cruise and shipping line industry, the need for shore power is increasing as well. Large scale ships increased the emission CO2, NOx, and in turn affect the surrounding environment of ports. Such effect on environment results in adoption of shore power system. Shore power provides electricity to the ships while at berth and reduces pollution. It declines the ship’s dependency over fossil fuels and reduce pollutant emissions. It saves the extra cost which spends on diesel.
