Provision of High voltage shore connections system along North Quay Terminal 1 and North Quay Terminal 2 within Malta Freeport in the TEN-T Core Port of Marsaxlokk

The proposed investment focuses on climate mitigation and environmental enhancement. Cargo Container maritime vessels require energy whilst berthed throughout operations. The vessels retain their auxiliary engines switched on while they are berthed along the quays within the Malta Freeport, which is located within the TEN-T Core port of Marsaxlokk, and in doing so, the vessels burn marine gas oil to meet their energy requirements. Thus, these vessels generate and release emissions such as CO2, NOx, SO2 and particulates into the air. Furthermore, these vessels also generate a significant amount of noise pollution. Therefore, the proposed project seeks to invest in the provision of on-shore high frequency power supply along the North Quay of Terminal 1 and the North Quay of Terminal 2, with the scope of providing electrical power to the berthed vessels.
