Shore Power Feasibility Study

Used by

The world’s leading companies in the maritime industry

What can we do for you?

We can help you with 3 things: decarbonization services that include detailed insights on zero-emission technologies, interpreting rules and regulations like CII or carbon tax, and calculating and monitoring your emissions. For each of these services, we offer free to use tools, guides and insights because we believe in sharing these lessons in order to make the maritime industry more sustainable. However, we know your vessel is unique and you might not have the time to figure it all out by yourself.
That is why we make customized decarbonization roadmaps, concept designs and quickscans to satisfy the needs of your unique vessel starting at €399 per report - the lowest price you will find in the maritime industry.
For example, we can help you with decarbonization roadmaps for your vessel, fleet or company, determine your carbon footprint, perform quickscans on rules and regulations for your entire fleet, make a business case or concept design study on hydrogen, batteries, wind or solar, methanol or ammonia, anything to make your life easier.

How it works

Enter your vessel details plus operational profile, choose your carbon reduction measures, insert your email and press enter.

In less than 24 hours our crew will prepare your personalized carbon reduction roadmap and deliver it to your inbox.

Here are some projects we worked on…

Project Portfolio

Project BOEI

Sustainable Ships performed a techno-economic feasibility study for the Province of South-Holland and InnovationQuarter on offshore charging of tankers at the anchorage at Scheveningen. We made a purpose-build tool for interactive parametric design to create insights for decision-making. The study determined that offshore charging of tankers is technically and economically feasible, but requires ‘first movers’ amongst shipowners.

Van Oord Decarbonizer

Sustainable Ships provided Van Oord with support on building their own Decarbonizer tool, to be used for scenario planning and long-term decision making with regards to sustainability.

Port of Rotterdam Shore Power Feasibility Study

Sustainable Ships provided Port of Rotterdam with a detailed Shore Power report, a customized techno-economic feasibility study that estimates costs and provides an overview of the technical challenges, standards and retrofit options required to accomodate shore power on board a vessel.

Damen Rules and Regulations

Sustainable Ships provided Damen Shipyards with a Rules and Regulations report, a 100+ paged report on upcoming rules and regulations with regards to sustainability. We helped them with interpreting rules such as EEXI and CII, calculate approximate costs for EU ETS, and investigated beyond the regulatory bodies into energy majors’ ambitions, ports and shipping companies.

Hydrogen Powered Propulsion for an Offshore Crane Vessel

This thesis performs a technical, economical and environmental feasibility study of three dense hydrogen carriers as a fuel to power the largest semi-submersible offshore crane vessel in the world – Heerema’s Sleipnir.

Heerema Carbon Neutral

One of our crew members was a key driver in Heerema’s ambitious decision to make the company Carbon Neutral, compensating 250.000 [mT] of CO2 per year.

Shore Power Calandkanaal

One of our crew members realized the largest shore power connection in Rotterdam - 20MW - from inception, to design, up to project management and execution.

… and a few of our happy customers

“Sustainable Ships did a great job! They performed an exploratory study on rules and regulations for several of our focus regions and a selection of our vessels and technologies. This gives us great insights on what is important for our customers. We now understand better what the impact of EU ETS will be for our clients, and which actions we should take in order to be prepared for the future.”

Matthijs Richelle - Service Development Manager

“Vincent has helped us understanding the challenges, considerations and cost impacts of getting an existing vessel ready for receiving shore power. The Sustainable Ships tools and report provide insight and work intuitively. We believe ship owners could definitely use the expertise that Sustainable Ships has to offer.”

Ryan Cornelisse - Business Manager Shore Power

“Sustainable Ships is a great initiative and start up; all employees are fully dedicated to help the Maritime Sector to decarbonize! The overall approach helps a larger company as Van Oord to differentiate in depth on the decarbonisation options provided in the overview. The background knowledge at Van Oord, on its turn, helps Sustainable Ships to further professionalize with respect to qualitative answering. It was really nice to cooperate with the Sustainable Ships’ team.”
