Shore to Ship Power Solutions (Onshore Power Supply, OPS)
Quantum Controls is a leading provider of shore to ship power systems, helping ports and vessels reduce emissions, cut fuel costs, and comply with global environmental regulations. Also known as Onshore Power Supply (OPS) or Shoreside Electricity (SSE), our solutions deliver reliable, efficient electrical power from the shore to docked ships. Enabling vessels to shut down their diesel engines while berthed.
Onshore Power
Onshore Power, also referred to as Cold Ironing, Alternative Maritime Power (AMP), or High-Voltage Shore Connection (HSCV), is the process of supplying shore-generated electricity to a ship at berth. This technology allows ships to plug into the local electrical grid, reducing emissions and noise pollution by eliminating the need to run onboard auxiliary engines.

- Significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and air pollutants.
- Lower fuel consumption and operational costs

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.
