First in India: JNPA to provide shore power supply to docked ships to curb pollution
Hindustan TimesNavi Mumbai: In a first-of-its-kind project in the country, the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority in Navi Mumbai has planned to provide shore power supply by 2030 to vessels that dock at its terminals. HT Image The shore power supply is the process of providing electricity from the shore to a ship while it’s docked. “Under the Maritime India Vision 2030 and the Harit Sagar initiative, part of the Green Port Initiative of the Government of India, the Ministry of Ports, Shipping, and Waterways has set a target to implement SPS for ships visiting ports. As JNPA operates as a landlord port, SPS installation will be carried out at the private terminals.” The study indicates that a significant capital expenditure is required to install SPS across all terminals since few vessels are currently equipped to accept SPS onboard.
