Cavotec has announced three major shore power orders valued at €7 million for Italian ports, reflecting the increasing adoption of sustainable port technologies in the region. Secured at the end of 2024, these contracts demonstrate Italy's commitment to reducing emissions and improving environmental standards in port operations.
The first project will see Cavotec’s PowerMove and PowerFeed systems installed to support cruise vessels at multiple ports across western Italy. This development marks a milestone in sustainable cruising in the Mediterranean by enhancing shore power connectivity in the region.
In Tuscany, Cavotec’s PowerMove technology will be deployed to serve both cruise and Ro-Ro vessels at two ports. This initiative is set to improve environmental performance and reduce emissions, aligning with the broader push for greener port operations.
The third order involves the delivery of two PowerMove systems for cruise vessels and a PowerExtend system for container ships at a southern Italian port. This project underscores the growing significance of shore power solutions for a variety of vessel types, ensuring cleaner energy use across the maritime sector.
Deliveries for these systems are scheduled between early 2026 and mid-2026. Once completed, the projects are expected to make a substantial contribution to reducing emissions and improving air quality in Italian ports, while reinforcing Cavotec’s position as a leader in sustainable port technologies.
