The Technical, Economic and Financial Feasibility Study is underway for the Implementation of Shore to Ship Electricity Supply Solutions in the 8 port terminals that make up the infrastructures of the Port of Setúbal. The study being prepared by CONSULGAL aims at the need to find solutions for the supply of electricity shore to ship, allowing a reduction of pollutant emissions from ships moored in the Port of Setúbal, as well as of noise and vibrations in the surrounding environment of the study focus terminals. These new technological and environmental dimensions require the search for innovative solutions for the port terminals in question, using cleaner sources of energy to supply ships in port, through a quick, simple and flexible connection, allowing their diesel or natural gas generators to be turned off.

The study is expected to be finished by August 2022.
