Danish PowerCon A/S has been appointed to realise the shore power installation at the Holland Amerikakade. To this end, Peter Castberg Knudsen, partner of PowerCon, and Mai Elmar, director of Cruise Port Rotterdam and Cruise Port Shore Power, signed the agreement today, June 2.

CSP is a subsidiary of the Port of Rotterdam Authority, which was set up specifically for the construction and operation of shore power. The Port Authority is responsible for the project management of the construction on behalf of CSP.

The costs of the construction are estimated at approximately 15 million euros. Cruise Port Shore Power expects that in 2025 more than 75 percent of cruise ships in Rotterdam will use shore power. This year, 124 cruise ships will arrive at Cruiseport Rotterdam.
