Underway

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.
