Portsmouth International Port in the UK is making substantial investments to enhance its infrastructure by introducing facilities to provide electrical power to ferries and cruise ships. This initiative follows the port's success in supplying power to berthing tugboats. Anisa Koci, the port's principal project manager, announced that the new facilities are expected to be operational by the middle of 2025, enabling ships like Brittany Ferries' hybrid-electric vessels to plug in at three berths simultaneously to reduce emissions while docked. The port, situated near the Royal Navy naval base, plays a crucial role in the UK's import activities and serves as a key hub for ferry and cruise services to the Channel Islands and France. The ongoing £24.0M infrastructure project at Portsmouth International Port is seen as a potential model for other ports in the UK and Europe. Brittany Ferries' hybrid-electric ferries, featuring AYK Energy's advanced battery systems, are set to operate on routes between France and the UK, emphasizing a shift towards low-emission sailings. Additionally, Riviera will be hosting conferences in Singapore and Bergen focusing on maritime decarbonisation strategies, including hydrogen fuel cells and electric propulsion, highlighting the industry's commitment to sustainability and innovation.
