The project 24-EU-TG-Baltic-Green-NET, with the project title: Shore-side electricity for RoRo/RoPax vessels on green corridors in the Baltic Sea, has received funds from the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Facility (AFIF), running under the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF).

The Port of Trelleborg is the coordinator of the project, developed together with the port of Lübeck-Travemünde. The aim is to establish a network of green corridors and shipping links in the Baltic Sea, by deployment of shore side electricity supply  for RoPax and RoRo vessels.

The main objective is to improve operations and sustainability in two TEN-T core ports in Sweden and Germany. A total of six berths will be equipped with onshore power supply (OPS): two berths in the port of Trelleborg (Sweden) and four berths in the port of Lübeck-Travemünde (Germany). Part of the supplied energy will be produced by two wind turbines, to be installed in the port of Lübeck-Travemünde within the project. In the Port of Trelleborg, two large wind turbines are previously deployed.

The investments in the Port of Trelleborg include works for the completion of onshore power supply at two berths, including connection to the grid and testing.

The works are performed at ferry berths no. 10 and 11, at the port power station behind berths no. 8-9 and in-between. The deployment of the required installations includes:

• Power distribution station with high voltage;
• All necessary connections and ducts, adaptation works;
• Cables and cable management systems at two berths;
• Energy measuring systems and integration by the port system interface.

The works in the port of Trelleborg will be completed during Q1 2026. The port will continue to supervise and coordinate the remaining investments in the port of Lübeck-Travemünde, which aims to achieve a gradual completion of the planned installations util March 2027.

The project extends between November 2024 – March 2027.

The project “Rail-IT” (Rail-IT-MoS) is a collaborative project between the Port of Trelleborg and the Port of Rostock, where we have been granted co-financing from the EU Commission’s fund for a connected Europe (Connecting Europe Facility – CEF) and the priority area “Motorway of the Sea” (MoS). Also in this project, Port of Trelleborg acts as coordinator due to our successful experience with similar co-financed EU projects.

The main focus of the project is to improve and develop the transport corridor between Trelleborg and Rostock with a specific focus on the development of the railway in the Port of Rostock and the completion of areas with associated IT equipment in the Port of Trelleborg.

The following activities are included in the project on behalf of the Port of Trelleborg:

– The completion of surfaces in the eastern part of the Port of Trelleborg

The project extends between January 13, 2023 and April 12, 2026

The Port of Trelleborg participates in a so called “Interreg project” together with Hamburg Marketing, Port of Rostock and Stena Line, where together they will develop the already existing transport chain between Trelleborg and Rostock with a focus on low emissions.

Stena Line will focus on optimizing its rail ferry traffic between Trelleborg and Rostock. The Port of Trelleborg and the Port of Rostock will each carry out a capacity analysis on the current railway within the respective port, with the aim of increasing green intermodal terminal handling.

The project extends between January 1, 2023 and March 31, 2026.

Port of Trelleborg will conduct a study on the future capacity need for truck charging stations in port, considering the investment and development plans of relevant manufacturers as well as the haulers’ plans for replacing current truck fleets with new ones running on green fuels. Based on a set of indicators/market factors, a model to estimate the charging needs and infrastructure needed in ports will be realised. This will be turned into an open-source planning tool for all ports to use to meet the requirements of, e.g., the Fit-for-55-package. The tool will also be able to reversely predict the scope 3 emissions reductions that can be achieved by a certain amount of green charging, thus aiding ports in setting science-based targets.

The project will receive financial support from the Interreg North Sea Programme.

The project extends between September 20, 2022 until March 2026.
