Yara Marine Technologies, a Norwegian provider of exhaust gas cleaning systems, has decided to relaunch its shore power business amid increasing demand for onshore power supply systems.
In addition, Yara revealed it will team up with French company NG3 on providing cold ironing solutions.
“We used to do shore power projects on ships some years ago, but the market was too slow. Now, however, with new regulations and grants supporting shipowner’s shore power investments, we are back in the business of shore power. Together with NG3, we are ready to take on new orders,” Aleksander Askeland, CSO at Yara Marine Technologies, commented.
The EU parliament recently called for a ban on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from berthing ships at berth by 2030, in their first reading of the MRV regulation. It also voted to include GHG emissions from the maritime sector into the EU’s emissions trading scheme from 1 January, 2022.
