Shore-to-Ship Temporary Power Solutions

Quantum Controls provides temporary Shore-to-Ship power solutions using equipment from our extensive Q-Hire fleet.

We can provide weatherproof variable speed drives, sine filter solutions, step-up transformers and the ancillary equipment required to create a complete turnkey power system.

Also known as Onshore Power Supply (OPS) or Shoreside Electricity (SSE), shore power allows a vessel to connect to an electrical supply while berthed, reducing the need to operate its onboard diesel generators.

Our engineers are available for installation, commissioning and support throughout the entire hire period.

Cleaner power at berth

Why Choose Shore Power?

Shore power allows docked vessels to switch off their onboard auxiliary engines and use a suitable shore-generated electrical supply.

Reduced Emissions

Significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and air pollutants while vessels are berthed.

Lower Operating Costs

Reduce fuel consumption and the associated operating costs of running onboard diesel generators.

Less Port Noise

Improve conditions around the vessel and port by reducing diesel engine noise and vibration.

Standards & Compliance

Support environmental targets and shore-connection requirements, including the IEC/IEEE 80005 standards.

Turnkey marine power

Superyacht refit Shore-to-Ship power project

Shore to Ship

Superyacht Refit - Case Study

We received a request from a European company specialising in Superyacht Refits, they had a 140 meter Superyacht, worth $300 million, coming into dock to undertake important required works and needed to convert shore supply to be able to carry out the project. They needed to convert shore supply at 400V, 50 Hz to 440V, 60 Hz with a total demand of 1200Amps continuous during full load periods.

Furthermore, this had to be built, tested, and shipped to site (in France) within a 4-week lead time to accommodate the vessel coming into dry dock for its required works.
