ELECTRICAL CONNECTION OF SHIPS AT BERTH
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION OF SHIPS AT BERTH
Marseille Fos, a responsible player in the region, is placing environmental excellence at the heart of its development strategy.
The electrical connection of ships in port or undergoing repairs illustrates its exemplary ecological credentials.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION OF SHIPS AT BERTH (CENAQ) consists of supplying ships in port with electricity distributed from land, so that they can switch off their engines when they are alongside the quayside.
Advantages :
- Elimination of pollutant emissions (NOx, SOx, fine particles).
- Reduction at source of greenhouse gases (CO2).
- Reduced noise pollution, making the port fit in better with the city.
Already effective since 2017 on the Corsican ferry docks based at La Joliette and Arenc, the Port of Marseille Fos is pursuing its CENAQ development objectives across all the eastern docks (Marseille).
- international ferry docks based at Cap Janet.
- large cruise ships based at the Léon Gourret mole.
- ship repair in the eastern basins (Marseille) of the Port of Marseille Fos.
This CENAQ development requires a reinforcement of the electrical network in order to provide an increase in power for more numerous ship connections with more complex electrical characteristics, in particular for international ferries and cruise ships at quayside or in dry docks.
In order to develop its systems for connecting ships to the electricity grid, the Port of Marseille Fos has launched an investment programme for :
- connecting ships in port to the shore power grid
- reinforcing the port's electricity network in the Marseilles docks
- creating new supply and distribution points in the terminals.
This operation involves :
- extending the existing port electricity network to bring power and distribute it to the berths.
- transforming it according to power, voltage and frequency (50Hz/60Hz) in the main port terminals.
Several phases are planned
First phase
This first major phase involves increasing the electrical power available to the port.
This energy supply operation is being managed by the Networks, Water and Electricity Department of the Port of Marseille Fos.
The preparatory work to bring in energy and create a new architecture for the electricity network, which has been completed to date, is being financed by the FEDER - European Regional Development Fund to the tune of 80%..
The main stages of the first phase are :
- Increasing the available electrical power by creating a new high-voltage (20kV) feeder (Enedis delivery point), with a capacity of 2x18.75 MW, i.e. 37.5 MW with ENEDIS services;
- the construction of an electrical substation to the north of Gate 4 at the port boundary;
- the implementation of a new architecture for the port's electrical network, based on 4 loops with interfaces between these new networks and the existing network.
- the routing of electricity to the various distribution points in the terminals, including the construction of all the trenches
- the creation of boxes and connection systems in the Cap Janet terminal.
This operation will ?
- to have a new port delivery point with sufficient connection power and the associated distribution network to bring this energy to the terminals where these developments are located,
- Equipping the Cap Janet public terminal (passengers Algeria, Tunisia) with all the facilities needed to connect international ferries, enabling at least 2 ferries to be connected simultaneously.
- Supply the dry ship repair terminals.
- connect the various facilities required for the future handling of the Mourepiane container terminal.
This work, which is currently underway, is being financed by the FEDER, he French government via the Recovery Plan, la the South Region, la the Aix Marseille Metropolitan Area, the 13 Department and the City of Marseille.
Next phases
Equipment for ELECTRICAL CONNECTION OF SHIPS AT BERTH (CENAQ) cruises at the Léon Gourret Mole
Objective: electrical connection of 2 cruise ships simultaneously for a maximum power of 32 MW at 60 Hz.
For berths 163, 181 and 183 at the Léon Gourret terminal, the work involves :
- the creation of a conversion and transformer substation in the area between Gate 4 and the Môle Croisière.
- civil engineering works, electrical equipment, distribution to berths and mobile connection systems (CMS).
The Port of Marseille Fos aims to eventually connect a 3rd and 4th cruise ship.
This work will be financed by the French government via the Recovery Plan, the Southern Region, the Aix Marseille Metropolitan Area and the Department of 13.
Creation of a photovoltaic power plant
This project, located in the port areas of Marseille, will provide local renewable energy production to complement the terrestrial electricity source (Enedis national grid).
The plant will be installed on the roofs of 6 port buildings, producing a total output of 9 MWp. It will be controlled by Smartgrid software.
This Smartgrid, an intelligent electricity network, will be powered by local renewable energy production (photovoltaic power plant).
This innovative electricity management system is part of an energy transition approach to energy management.
The project will be co-financed by the French government (stimulus plan), the Sud region and the city of Marseille.
DOE - Opportunity and study operation: connection of non-massified maritime activities
Launch of an opportunity and study operation (DOE) concerning the connection of ships for non-massified maritime activities in the East Docks of the Port of Marseille Fos.
This DOE must define the economic model for connecting the following maritime activities to the ELECTRICAL CONNECTION OF SHIPS AT BERTH (CENAQ) onshore electricity network:
- Industrial ship repair activities (Forms 8, 9 and Form 10 with substation 190),
- Activities linked to top-of-the-range cruises to be located on J4,
- RoRo traffic in the Pinède sector
- Container traffic in the Mourepiane sector.
The DOE (Opportunity and Study File) for these 4 business segments is scheduled by the Port of Marseille Fos for 2023.
The DOE (Opportunity and Study File) will be co-financed by the MIE - European Fund.
The work will be co-financed by the State (recovery plan), the Southern Region, the City of Marseille, MIE and other European funds.
