Shore power system opens in Oslo

Thursday, 25 Sep, 2024 0

The Port of Oslo celebrated the opening of its new shore power system with AIDAluna hooking up to the power connection in port.

The milestone was marked with a ceremony attended by Anita Leirvik North, Vice Mayor for Culture Business Development, Einar Marthinussen, Commercial Director Port of Oslo and captain of AIDAluna, Marc-Dominique Tidow.

It was preceded by an extensive test phase, during which AIDAluna had already been successfully supplied with energy from shore.

Oslo is the fifth shore power system in Norway.

“Shore power is a relevant technology for us on the way to net-zero emissions in ship operations. Our cruise ships can now obtain green energy from shore in 12 ports in six European countries,” said Dirk Inger, SVP Public Affairs, Communication & Sustainability at AIDA Cruises.

AIDA Cruises has been considering shore power capabilities in the planning and construction of its cruise ships since 2004.

Since 2024, all AIDA ships departing on cruises from German ports can be supplied with shore-side electricity during their laytime.

AIDA Cruises is aiming for net-zero emissions in the operation of its fleet by 2050.
