The electrification of ports (from January 2030, ships staying for more than two hours in a port would have to connect to OPS) is one of the great challenges for the energy and environmental efficiency of maritime transport. All ports must switch to offering shore power to ships, including renewable energy facilities and energy efficiency measures. In most port facilities, the electrical network does not have sufficient power to meet the vessels needs.
The electrical network does not usually reach the connection point at the docking facilities. This requires an expensive upgrade in most cases. CESINEL is a leading manufacturer of solid-state frequency converters that enables high-performance power units to convert any conventional electrical power to either 60 Hz or 50 Hz power at the dock. We also provide ground power support equipment and custom power conversion solutions.
CESINEL power converters offer smaller size and higher efficiency thanks to silicon carbide (SiC) with an efficiency of over 98 percent. Our outstanding customer service includes onsite customer personnel training in operation, maintenance, and servicing, remote monitoring by computer interface systems, and backup services.
