Transport Malta Signs Shore Power Deal With Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings
Transport Malta has signed a shore power agreement with Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings (NCLH), allowing its cruise ships to connect to Malta’s electricity grid while berthed in port.
The agreement is the fourth signed by Transport Malta and will extend the use of the Malta’s shore power infrastructure, the Government of Malta said in a press release on Tuesday.
Shore power allows ships to use electricity from the shore to run onboard systems such as lighting and air conditioning, rather than keeping their engines running to generate power.
This can reduce emissions and improve air quality around ports.
However, shore power’s credentials also depend on the availability of renewable electricity in the local grid, limiting its green impact in regions still reliant on fossil-fuel power generation.
