VINCI wins the power connection
contract for three berths at HAROPA PORT | Le
Havre
- Deployment of infrastructure to
decarbonise ports of call by electrifying three berths designed to
accommodate HAROPA PORT | Le Havre cruise ships.
- The system will cut emissions by
15,000 tonnes of CO2 equivalent a year
- A €25 million project
HAROPA PORT has selected a consortium of VINCI
Energies and VINCI Construction subsidiaries to deliver a
high-voltage power supply system for cruise ships docked at the
three berths at HAROPA PORT Pointe de Floride terminal.
The project involves supplying a turnkey
electricity conversion substation connected to the public grid to
power the cruise ships’ batteries. It also includes the
modification of a technical hangar and associated civil engineering
works.
A purpose-designed mobile connection rig will be
built to handle the port’s tidal range – which is among the widest
worldwide – and to cover the full length of the berths in order to
power ships no matter their size.
Each berth will have a system supplying 11 kV
and 6.6 kV power rating. The first section, the Pierre Callet
berth, will be handed over in spring 2025.
Shore power, also known as RENAQ (Raccordement
Électrique des Navires À Quai) or OPS (Onshore Power Supply) is a
solution for powering ships from the local grid, reducing their
dependence on onboard diesel generators. They are set to become the
standard in Europe by 2030 for compelling environmental reasons:
they significantly reduce pollutant emissions as well as greenhouse
gas emissions from vessels.Actemium - VINCI Energies’ Industry
brand - is recognised of its expertise in implementing such
systems, with some thirty references worldwide.
HAROPA PORT’s multimodal terminal in Le Havre is
France’s leading and one of Europe’s largest ports complexes and is
rolling out a vigorous plan to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions
and achieve carbon neutrality by 2040, while stewarding natural
resources and minimising the environmental impact of its
activities.
This wharf power supply system will be one of
the largest ever built in Europe. It will support growth in tourism
and economic development while helping to fulfil environmental
commitments.
