Cavotec wins three new SHI orders

The three orders, booked in the third quarter and worth €3.1 million, are for Cavotec’s PowerAMPReel ShorePower connection systems that will be integrated into new-build container ships for owners Evergreen, Seaspan and Capital.

“These wins illustrate Cavotec’s vital role in enabling the modernisation and decarbonisation of the global ports and maritime sector,” commented Cavotec chief exectuive, Mikael Norin. “Working closely with customers, we are helping to ensure that the sector is taking the necessary steps towards a cleaner future,” he added.

PowerAMPReels enable vessels to be connected to shoreside electrical supply when in port and for their conventionally-powered engines to be shut off. This reduces emissions of harmful nitrogen and sulphur oxides and particulate matter, improving air quality and health outcomes in port areas and surrounding communities.

Cavotec pioneered shore power in the 1980s and is now one of the leading suppliers of shore power and charging systems for ships and other mobile equipment. The company also manufactures a wide range of land-based connection and charging systems.

Earlier this year, Cavotec won shore power connection orders worth a total of €8 million, including several orders from Samsung Heavy Industries.
