What is ?<br />
• “<strong>PLUG</strong>” is an acronym for “ “Power Generation<br />
during Loading & Unloading“ nloading“<br />
• It proposes a game changing solution to<br />
connect vessels in ports to the <strong>shore</strong> <strong>power</strong><br />
network to reduce their harbour emissions<br />
<strong>PLUG</strong> is the world first <strong>shore</strong> <strong>power</strong> providing a<br />
multi MW, High Voltage connection....<br />
...within a minute!<br />

Context (1)<br />
• Many public authorities are asking the shipping<br />
industry to find solutions to reduce its<br />
environmental footprint<br />
• Shore <strong>power</strong> is one of these solutions, and has<br />
been implemented in a limited scale (less than<br />
200 vessels out of a world fleet of 60 000…)<br />

Context (2)<br />
• Presently all <strong>shore</strong> <strong>power</strong> solutions have been <strong>de</strong>rived<br />
from existing manual connector technologies which<br />
bring :<br />
– Safety hazards for crew and terminal operators personel<br />
– High Capital Expense<br />
– High Operational Expense<br />
– Low rate of use<br />
• As a consequence, <strong>shore</strong> <strong>power</strong> implementation has<br />
been very limited<br />

Cold ironing is even presently i<strong>de</strong>ntified as the least efficient<br />
CO2 emission abatment solution!<br />

Context<br />
The challenge to extend <strong>shore</strong> <strong>power</strong> solution is<br />
to make it not only environmentaly friendly but,<br />
as well, safer, cost effective and profitable<br />

Shore <strong>power</strong> Profitability<br />
On board generation cost<br />
• Profitability <strong>de</strong>pends on :<br />
– Local <strong>power</strong> market pricing<br />
– MDO price evolution : coming up!<br />
– Emissions taxes : coming up!<br />
Shore <strong>power</strong> cost<br />
Subsidies<br />
– Subsidies : not a viable long term solution<br />
<strong>PLUG</strong> reduced<br />
CAPEX /OPEX<br />
– Shore Power CAPEX /OPEX : this is where <strong>PLUG</strong> is bringing an advantage!<br />

Objective<br />
<strong>PLUG</strong><br />
<strong>PLUG</strong> objective is to drastically reduce <strong>shore</strong> <strong>power</strong> costs,<br />
making it profitable, while reducing risks<br />

<strong>PLUG</strong> <strong>de</strong>sign drivers<br />
• « Hands out » to reduce risk and<br />
operational cost<br />
• « Fool proof » to reduce risk and<br />
safety barrier investment and<br />
operational costs<br />
• Keep ship si<strong>de</strong> hardware to the<br />
minimun to optimize return on<br />
investment and maintenance cost<br />
• Emergency release capability<br />
• No <strong>shore</strong> personnel required<br />

Standardisation <strong>strategy</strong><br />
• Standardisation context<br />
• <strong>PLUG</strong> proposed standard<br />
• Example of other shipping<br />
industries standards…<br />

Standardisation context<br />
• POLB has been very proactive to address cold<br />
ironing standardisation, especially for CCs<br />
promoting the « AMP » (Alternative Marine<br />
Power) solution<br />
• Several standardisation working groups have<br />
been set up to establish a <strong>shore</strong> <strong>power</strong><br />
« standard » norm, converging towards a<br />
proposed ISO norm<br />
New Generation<br />

• ISO forbids itself to<br />
build standards based on<br />
patented technologies<br />
• This prevent innovative<br />
solutions, such as<br />
<strong>PLUG</strong>, for the<br />
connector technology…<br />
• …leading, for the<br />
shipping industry to a<br />
non optimized , obsolete<br />
solution!<br />
…but<br />

« You never change things by fighting<br />
the existing reality . To change<br />
something , build a new mo<strong>de</strong>l that<br />
makes the existing mo<strong>de</strong>l obsolete »<br />

History teaches us about<br />
successfull shipping industry<br />
standardisation attempts based<br />
on innovation such as :<br />
- The shipping container invented<br />
and patented in 1956 by<br />
Malcolm Mc Lean..<br />
- The Chiksan loading arm<br />
invented and patented in 1956<br />
by FMC loading systems…<br />
…both became world wi<strong>de</strong><br />
industry standards…<br />
The other way round…<br />
To meet <strong>shore</strong> <strong>power</strong> cost and operational challenge<br />
a similar approach is likely for <strong>shore</strong> <strong>power</strong>!<br />

• <strong>PLUG</strong> <strong>de</strong>signed to meet all ISO norm<br />
functional requirement’s<br />
requirement’s…but :<br />
• ….proposes a game changing solution for the<br />
connector technology<br />
• ….proposes a single, « one fits all »,<br />
connector to cover the industry <strong>shore</strong> <strong>power</strong><br />
