Port and Ship End to End solutions

Cold ironing, also known as Shore Power, Alternative Marine Power (AMP), or Onshore Power Supply (OPS), is the process of providing shore-side electrical power to a ship at berth while its main and auxiliary engines are shut down. This technology eliminates local air emissions (NOx, SOx, PM) and greenhouse gases (CO2) from auxiliary engines, ensuring compliance with global environmental regulations (such as FuelEU Maritime, EU ETS, and CARB). Integri Marine designs and installs complete turnkey solutions complying with IEC/ISO/IEEE 80005 standards.

Integri Marine supplies complete turnkey shore power systems for both vessel retrofits and port infrastructure. Our engineering services cover High Voltage Shore Connections (HVSC >1 kV per IEC/ISO/IEEE 80005-1) and Low Voltage Shore Connections (LVSC ≤1 kV per IEC/ISO/IEEE 80005-3). These systems feature advanced cable management systems, frequency converters (50/60 Hz), isolation transformers, safety interlocking, and shore connection control panels. Our globally located offices in Rotterdam, Hamburg, Copenhagen, Dubai, Mumbai, and Chennai provide end-to-end local project support.

Yes, Integri Marine specializes in afloat installation of shore power systems, allowing vessels to be retrofitted without dry docking. This process minimizes vessel downtime and operational disruption. Our engineering team designs custom structural and electrical integration solutions tailored to the vessel's layout, managing installation and commissioning while the vessel remains afloat in key regions, including European, Indian, and Middle Eastern waters.

Shore power and cold ironing compliance are governed by international standards IEC/ISO/IEEE 80005 (Part 1 for HVSC, Part 3 for LVSC) and IMO MEPC.1/Circ.869. Key regional regulations mandating shore connection include the European Union's FuelEU Maritime regulation and Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR) — which mandate shore power for containerships and passenger vessels by 2030 — the EU ETS carbon pricing, and the California Air Resources Board (CARB) At-Berth Ocean-Going Vessels Regulation. Integri Marine guarantees full compliance with these regulatory standards.

Connecting to Onshore Power Supply (OPS) instead of running auxiliary diesel generators offers substantial economic benefits: 60% to 80% reduction in auxiliary power energy costs depending on local port electricity tariffs versus marine fuel prices; significant reduction in auxiliary engine wear and maintenance intervals, saving on spare parts and overhaul costs; avoidance of carbon tax penalties under regulations like EU ETS and FuelEU Maritime; and lower port dues through green port incentive schemes. Integri Marine's global engineering offices carry out custom feasibility studies and return-on-investment (ROI) calculations for vessel operators.

Yes, Integri Marine provides comprehensive classification society approval and certification support for all cold ironing retrofits. We manage class design review, safety analysis, plan approval, and on-board survey coordination with major classification societies. Our team ensures the vessel is successfully certified with the appropriate class notations (e.g., Shore Power, OPS, or AMP).
