Recent Developments 2024-2025
Regulations have accelerated investment. The EU Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation requires container and passenger ships to use onshore power by 2030, while FuelEU Maritime begins in 2025. In the U.S., California expanded At-Berth rules in 2025 to cover ro-ro vessels and tankers.

Port infrastructure momentum is visible. Hamburg connected its first container ship in 2024, with Ocean Network Express pledging to use shore power at two terminals in 2025. PortMiami launched shore power at five cruise berths in mid-2024, while Seattle completed electrification across all three cruise berths by the end of 2024.

Suppliers continue to secure major contracts. Cavotec won multiple 2025 orders, including multimillion-euro OPS projects in Italy and Belgium, and a container line retrofit program. Copenhagen and Oslo expanded cruise OPS capacities in 2024, and Gothenburg brought tanker OPS online in early 2024.

Market Trend 2025
Regulation-Led Demand
The regulatory framework is the strongest driver of adoption. In Europe, OPS is mandatory for container and passenger ships by 2030, with enforcement pressure already felt in 2025. California extended OPS requirements to tankers and ro-ro vessels in 2025. This is driving both ship retrofits and port infrastructure upgrades, creating a predictable pipeline of projects.

Cruise Leads, Container Follows
Cruise lines were the first large-scale adopters. PortMiami, Seattle, and Kiel all report multi-berth cruise OPS now in operation. Operators such as MSC are targeting hundreds of annual OPS connections. Container shipping began catching up in 2024 with Hamburg's first container OPS and new commitments from Ocean Network Express in 2025.

Standardisation of Power Envelopes
IEC/ISO/IEEE 80005 standards have created a global baseline. High-voltage OPS at 6.6 or 11 kV with 50/60 Hz conversion and ship loads of 10-20 MVA have become standard, reducing uncertainty in design and installation. This technical stability encourages replication across multiple ports.

Infrastructure Lag in Europe
Despite policy momentum, assessments in 2025 show many EU container terminals risk missing 2030 OPS deadlines. Grid availability, berth-level adaptation, and funding remain key challenges. This creates immediate opportunities for system integrators and equipment suppliers.

Acceleration of Shipboard Retrofits
Solutions such as Cavotec's PowerFit and Wärtsilä's containerised modules simplify retrofits for older vessels. Ro-ro operators and cruise fleets are leading adoption. Compact retrofit packages have shortened installation timelines, broadening vessel coverage before regulatory deadlines.

Hybrid Energy Integration
Emerging solutions include hydrogen-powered generators linked to OPS systems, tested in Gothenburg in 2025. Such approaches provide resilience for ports with constrained grid capacity and allow zero-emission auxiliary supply during maintenance or peak loads.

Quantifiable Uptake
Usage is no longer theoretical. MSC reported 44 shore power connections in 2023 and aims for 220 in 2024. Kiel surpassed 100 cruise OPS connections in 2024, while North American ports reported hundreds of connections during their first full cruise seasons in 2025.

Multi-Berth Scale Projects
Large-scale OPS plants, such as Siemens' Kiel facility or ABB's Portsmouth solution, illustrate the trend towards supplying multiple berths simultaneously. These multi-MVA installations serve as models for container and cruise hubs worldwide preparing for compliance deadlines.

Conclusion
The Shipborne Shore Power System market is entering a rapid growth phase, underpinned by regulation, standardisation, and visible port infrastructure rollouts. With global market value expected to more than triple by 2031, opportunities for suppliers, integrators, and operators are expanding across cruise, container, ro-ro, and tanker sectors.
