Shore Power - Cold Ironing for all vessel types

Tailormade high-voltage and low-voltage turnkey OPS systems

About Shore Power

Manta Marine Technologies is in the unique position to be your sole turnkey Shore Power partner. We follow the project from the initial design phase through installation and ongoing technical support while the vessel is in operation.

Our experienced and trusted in-house automation, installation and electrics teams are able to execute every single step of the installation process, including steel and cable works. There is no need for additional suppliers or sub-suppliers - Manta Marine takes care of the whole Cold Ironing project, from beginning to end.

We will adjust our installation efforts to the operational pattern of your vessel, thus minimising your vessel's downtime and disruption of vessel operations.

As a member of International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) working groups, we don't just assure regulatory compliance of our system, but we actively participate in unifying the global standards in safety and efficiency.

Crucial points about Shore Power

Growing port-side investments

"Why install OPS on a vessel if the ports are not ready yet?", you might ask. We see increased investments of ports in land-side Shore Power systems and thus an ever growing Shower Power availability in ports, especially in Europe, the USA and China. This port-side availability naturally comes with benefits for vessels equipped with Shore Power.

Enough space on board for OPS?

With numerous completed Shore Power installations, and powering vessels in ports around the world, we have great experience in tailoring the most space optimised solution for you. A Shore Power system requires a certain amount of space on board, but our experience, paired with your knowledge of the vessel, will minimise the loss of cargo capacity and other usable space onboard your vessel. Our flexibility and experience will make the system fit!

Future-proof your vessel with additional value creation

Shore Power has come to stay and early investments in Shore Power will help to future-proof your vessels for upcoming stricter regulatory requirements. A Shore Power installation on board your vessel furthermore creates the possibility of future hybrid-battery solution installations. In addition, these installations will increase the value of your vessel and prepare it for possible upcoming regulatory changes. Get ready now and loose no time to invest in the future.

We take regulatory responsibility

Manta Marine Technologies is a member of the Joint Working Group 28 (JW28) within the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Technical Committee 18 (TC18). JW28 is responsible for preparing and maintaining the IEC/IEEE80005 series, which governs utility connections in ports.

In cooperation with ISO TC8/SC3 WG10 and IEEE WG HVSC, we contribute to the development of international standards that ensure the safe and efficient transfer of electrical power to ships in port. Our work encompasses the following standards:

  • IEC/IEEE 80005-1: Utility connections in port – Part 1: High Voltage Shore Connection (HVSC) Systems – General requirements.
  • IEC/IEEE 80005-2: Utility connections in port – Part 2: High and low voltage shore connection systems – Data communication for monitoring and control.
  • IEC/IEEE 80005-3: Utility connections in port – Part 3: Low Voltage Shore Connection (LVSC) Systems – General requirements.
  • IEC/IEEE 80005-4: Utility connections in port – Part 4: DC Shore Connection (DCSC) Systems – General requirements. 

Our participation in shaping these vital standards underlines our dedication to advancing sustainable and innovative shore-to-ship power solutions, ensuring compliance with global standards for safety and efficiency.
