PORT OF GÖTEBORG
PART I | 1. FOREWORD HARBOUR MASTER
1.1
GENERAL
I, Jörgen Wallroth, Harbour Master, welcomes you to the Port and City of Göteborg
The Port of Göteborg is on the west coast of Sweden in northern Europe. The port, founded
in 1621, is a combined river and seaport situated at the mouth of the Göta River.
Water transport was almost the only opportunity to get the Swedish classic exports of iron
and timber out and ports were very important for the Swedish economy.
In the 1840s the first berths were built along the riverbanks and when the port later on
needed more space, most of the port facilities moved out of the city centre to the north river
bank where the Skandia Container Terminal and the Älvsborg Harbour were built. The Ro/ro
Terminal is today the largest single port facility in Scandinavia for unitized cargo.
To allow the large oil tankers to berth, a crude oil jetty was built. Rya and Skarvik, where the
refined oil is handled, were improved. In 2004 the two fairways to the Port of Göteborg were
enhanced to provide safer, straighter, deeper, wider and shorter fairways. The port is
sheltered from the North Sea by the Danish mainland and two overlapping archipelagos. The
modern port facilities are concentrated on the northern bank of the river mouth. Older
facilities, for passenger and cargo ferry traffic, are located further upstream.
Today the Port of Göteborg is the leading container harbour in the Nordic region.
1.2
PORT REPORT
The owners are the citizens of Göteborg through the port company (Port of Göteborg AB),
where the City of Göteborg is the sole shareholder.
The Port of Göteborg is an important transit port. Between ten and fifteen per cent of the
general cargo shipped through the port is transhipped between an extra-European country
and a Nordic country other than Sweden.
In terms of tonnes, oil is the dominant cargo with 52 per cent of the total cargo turnover.
Then come containers and trailers, forest products, steel and cars.

Notification and clearance of incoming vessel
An incoming vessel is not allowed to discharge or load before Customs allows it through
clearance.
Within two hours of a ship's arrival in a city in the Swedish Customs area, a notification of
incoming vessel must be available. Notification of an incoming vessel consists of:
Ship’s Declaration (Tv 611.10) alt. IMO FAL Form 1
Cargo Declaration (Tv 611.7) alt. IMO FAL Form 2, ship manifest’s electricity equivalent
Stores Declaration (Tv 611.13) alt. IMO FAL Form 3

30
PORT OF GÖTEBORG
Sealed room
The commander must ensure that surplus stores in the form of spirits, wine, beer and
tobacco products, carried on board and not to be consumed or left in the country but
declared for home or taxed by the incoming vessel’s arrival at the port are placed in a
sealable space on board under lock or stored in some other safe manner. No one may
dispose of the goods without the consent of Customs while the vessel is in the Swedish
Customs area.
Surplus stores will be included in the provisioning declaration made by the commander in
connection with the vessel’s arrival. (The Swedish Customs may, at the master's request,
grant the extraction of surplus stores for consumption on board). The Swedish Customs
regulations on the surplus victualling should apply mutatis mutandis to live animals, weapons
and other public dangerous goods carried by the vessel during the voyage in the Swedish
Customs area and for uncleared or untaxed stores taken on board the vessel. Detailed rules
on excess provisioning is in the Swedish Customs regulations and general advice, TFS
2007:4, and supplies of surplus stores, etc. on ships.
Customs Service can grant exemptions from these rules in the case of ferry or passenger
ships in regular traffic under the timetable announced to the Customs in advance.
Customs allowances on provisions
Regulations on the provisioning of non-Community goods and untaxed Community goods for
consumption or sale on board the ship when travelling to a foreign place are found in the Act
(1999:446) on the provisioning of ships and aircraft. In accordance with the Regulation
(1999:454) on the provisioning of ships and aircraft, the Customs Service issued detailed
regulations and general advice (TFS 1999:32) on the provisioning of ships and aircraft. The
Customs Service issues permits for the provisioning of ships and a catering permit can apply
for a period or for a specified time. For applications for and granting of permits for
provisioning for a specified time, the Authorization for provisioning for a specified time
(TV 603.10) should be used.
For more information, see Swedish Customs home page.
Provision quantities
The Customs Agency's regulations and general advice TFS 1999:32 show that when the
issue of provisioning for certain occasion for consumption by other occupants than
passenger ships (vessels used for commercial passengers or goods) to be dispatched to the
foreign location, the following benchmarks are used as a reasonable quantity per person:
• spirits up to two litres per week;
• wine with an alcohol content of less than 8.5 volume up to two litres per week, and
• tobacco products up to 50 grams per day.
Included in the above are the volumes already on board before provision is granted. Normal
needs of representation should be considered part of the specified quantities.
In the case of provisioning of ships for a specified time for consumption by other occupants
than passengers, the concept of travel is interpreted so that this can last from the re-supply
of ship’s goods in a port until it returns to a port in the country to replenish their stores. In
other words, the searchers provisioning-ring permission given space to define the distance
as the time unfolds between the current provision and the next planned provisioning in the
Swedish port.
Assessment of reasonable quantity when provisioning authorization for some time have been
issued may generally be in post by comparing the amounts taken on board by the number of
31
PORT OF GÖTEBORG
passengers and crew. Provisioning for-position for some time intends ferry or passenger
ships scheduled service to schedule notified the Customs in advance.
WHEN IN SWEDISH TERRITORIAL WATERS
Vessels that enter Swedish Customs territory from third countries and are under Customs
supervision and ships coming from the site of the EC Customs territory and carrying cargo or
stores which are under Customs supervision are termed incoming ships.
An incoming vessel travelling in Swedish Customs territory may operate without interruption
other than as is necessary with regard to the safety of the ship or authorized by the Customs
Service, or due to any government measure. No one may be different than piloting or ship
clearance centre or leave an incoming ship unless it is authorized by the Customs Service, or
due to any government action. The captain may leave the ship on official matters. If the
Customs Service does not decide otherwise in particular cases, the ban applies only until the
vessel arrives at the port, provided that the surplus stores are kept in a sealable space on
board.
Commanders of incoming vessels en route between points in the Swedish Customs area
shall bring with them a passport (incoming Customs passport) to the Customs Department.
PRIOR TO DEPARTURE
An outgoing vessel may not depart until the office has admitted it carried to clear the ship. An
outgoing vessel’s notification consists of the form Fartygsdeklaration (Tv 611.10) alt. IMO
FAL Form 1 to be signed by the officer-holder firm, the ship's agent who arranges the ship’s
clearance or any other person authorized by the commander.
Masters of outgoing vessels en route between points in the Swedish Customs area shall
bring with them a passport (outgoing Customs passport) to the Customs Department.

PORT OF GÖTEBORG
PART III | 7. PORT DESCRIPTION
7.1
GENERAL
The Port of Göteborg, with its excellent geographical location, is the hub of Scandinavian
maritime traffic. The port is a combined sea and river port and is sheltered from the North
Sea by the Danish mainland. Two independent fairways ensure the safety of both inbound
and outbound vessels. From open sea, quayside can be reached in 1½ hours and the port
offers a 24-hour service all year round, regardless of season.
The Port of Göteborg provides facilities for various cargo handling, distribution, ferries and
cruise ships. There are also facilities for ship repair, maintenance and storage available.
The Port of Göteborg comprises a total port land area of about 3.6 million square metres.
The total number of berths is 151, distributed over a quayside length of 20 kilometres. The
maximum draught at MW is up to 18.90 metres in oil harbours, up to 13.0 metres in
container/ro-ro harbours and 8.0 metres at inner harbour berths and dockyards. Upstream in
the Göta River the maximum draught is 5.3 metres.

DEVELOPMENTS
7.3
PORT LOCATION
Investments in the fairways and new quayside areas, reinforcements in container, ro/ro- and
oil terminals, the extension of existing areas and new super post-panamax cranes have run
smoothly. For our customers this means faster throughput in the terminals, more efficient
handling in good infrastructure and thereby shorter and more economical lead times. Future
goals are to continue to develop the improved infrastructure within and outside the port to
generate greater capacity and better accessibility.
Göteborg is situated on the Swedish west coast at the outfall of the Göta River and most of
the port facilities are located on the north river bank.

7.10 TRAFFIC
ARENDAL AND ÄLVSBORG HARBOURS - Ro/ro, car and vehicle terminals
The Port of Göteborg handles both arrivals and departures of loading and unloading vessels
from the continent, the United Kingdom, Finland and the Baltic region, as well as oceangoing ro/ro
traffic. Frequent calls by vessels involved in both intra-European and extra-European traffic
make the port attractive to car manufacturers.
SKANDIA HARBOUR – Container and car terminal
The Port of Göteborg provides the largest container terminal in the Nordic region and is the
only harbour in Sweden with regular traffic involving overseas vessels. The majority of the
cargo is bound for or arrives from other continents, either directly by overseas vessels or by
using feeder vessels from continental Europe. Frequent calls by vessels involved in both
intra-European and extra-European traffic make the port attractive to car manufacturers.
TOR HARBOUR, SKARVIK HARBOUR AND RYA HARBOUR – Oil terminals
The Port of Göteborg is the main Nordic harbour for warehousing and reloading of oil. The oil
terminals provide land area for depots, quays, import and export of oil, bunkering and coordination of issues related to safety and the natural environment.
PASSENGERS
Both ferry traffic and the majority of cruise ships are put into the inner harbour of the Port of
Göteborg, close to the city centre. The ferry traffic includes routes to Denmark and Germany,
with both passengers and ro/ro. For visiting pleasure craft, Lilla Bommen is the most central
guest harbour located by the Göta River Bridge, close to the Opera House.

For further information regarding Port statistics, visit the website www.portgot.se
7.11 CARGO
LOGISTICS
By offering a full range of services to vessels calling at the port, the customer has an
attractive overall solution for its cargo flows. Two categories of services are available; base
services that are close to the quays and additional services that are outside the actual port
areas, such as storage, distribution and forwarding. The Port of Göteborg has the
responsibility for activities within the port area close to the quays. A network of partners,
administrated by Port Community, handles activities outside the port area.
45
PORT OF GÖTEBORG
RAIL
The Port of Göteborg has one of the largest rail terminals in the country and provides ondock rail at all terminals. Trains pass through the port to and from urban centres throughout
Sweden and Norway. The port can provide good conditions for moving heavy, bulky cargo by
rail and handles system trains for steel, paper, petroleum and cars.
STORAGE
Generally, short-term storage of port-related cargo is available within the port area. Certain
conditions apply for long-term storage and storage facilities are available in the open or
under cover, with or without temperature regulation.
QUARANTINE FUMIGATION
Skandia Harbour offers a special facility with quarantine fumigation. This gas treatment is
necessary for the no-bugs certificate demanded by certain countries for the import of wood,
paper etc, but also in the form of freight pallets, wooden crates or bobbins. The facility is
available for special purposes on application.
FACILITIES BORDER CONTROL ANIMALS AND FOOD
Centrally located in Skandia Harbour, the border control post for animals and food products
inspects imports from outside the European Union on behalf of the Union. The post has
purpose-built facilities for the inspection and identification of live animals (horses from
Iceland, for example) and laboratory facilities for animal products.

FAIRWAYS
North Channel
The fairway marked North Channel is for seagoing vessels with a draught up to 18.9 metres.
The North Channel reaches from the sea south of the lighthouse Trubaduren into Vinga
Sand, Dana Fjord and the northern area of Hake Fjord, to the Tor Harbour oil terminal quay
no. 801. Between Trubaduren and Dana Fjord, the fairway keeps a minimum depth of 22.9
metres. At MW, the North Channel between Dana Fjord and the Tor Harbour oil terminal
keeps a minimum depth of 20.5 metres. At the outer entrance, the fairway is about 540
metres wide and the width varies than down to about 320 metres at the inner part. Both
North and South Channel end abreast the harbour entrance at the outfall of the Göta River.
South Channel
The fairway marked South Channel reaches over the southern part of Hake Fjord and links
together the areas Vinga Sand and Rivö Fjord. Maximum draught in the South Channel is up
to 13 metres.
Between Böttö and Rivö Fjord the fairway keeps a minimum depth of 15.8 metres (MW), and
between Rivö Fjord and the Älvsborg Fortress, the fairway keeps a minimum depth of 14.7
50
PORT OF GÖTEBORG
metres. Be aware of the frequent traffic of local ferries in the fairway and water areas nearby.
Abreast the island Bötte, the sea current conditions can sometimes be strong. Both North
and South Channel end at the outfall of the Göta River.
Vinga Channel
From the sea area west of the Vinga lighthouse a fairway reaches into the area Vinga Sand,
called the Vinga Channel. Maximum draught during daytime is 8.5 metres and at night the
maximum draught is 6.5 metres. North of the Vinga lighthouse, there is often a current set
with high speed abeam the fairway. Wind and current conditions in this fairway often shift
rapidly and therefore the Swedish Maritime Administration recommends all vessels to
request pilotage at all times when entering the Vinga Channel.
Göta River
The fairway between Göteborg and Vänersborg has a length of 50 nautical miles and the
difference of height between Lake Vänern and the west coast is 44 metres. This difference in
height is overcome by 6 locks, each of 6 - 8 metres in height. For further information
regarding the Vänern Maritime Traffic Area, destinations via the Göta River, locks and
maximum size of vessels, visit the Swedish Maritime Administration website.
The opening of bridges over the Göta River is remotely operated from different canal
stations, e.g. Lilla Edet, Trollhättan and Brinkebergskulle.

TIDE
Water level is measured by water gauges located at the Vinga and Måvholmen. The water
level is also measured at the oil terminal in Skarvik Harbour.
The highest variations in water levels due to tide occur two days before new and full moon
(i.e. spring) and reaches no more than 24 cm in the outer parts of the harbour. The lowest
variations are due to the neap tide a fortnight in between. In a period of 24 hours, there are
two flood tides and two ebb tides. The first flood occurs about 4½ hours after the moon
passage over the Greenwich meridian (i.e. when the moon GHA is about 065 degrees) and
the next follows about 12 hours and 25 minutes later.
CURRENT
The current can occasionally be difficult in the fairways throughout the archipelago of
Göteborg and the west coast. Main fairways concerned in the area of Göteborg are the
South Channel and the Vinga Channel. Within the harbour area, the current reaches 2 knots
53
PORT OF GÖTEBORG
at the most. Current conditions are monitored at the islet of Måvholmen and in Skarvik
Harbour oil terminal.
SEA CONDITIONS
In general, winds from the west raise water levels along the Swedish west coast and winds
from the east have the opposite effect. When there is a westerly storm, a so-called stormflood can make the water level rise by over 1 metre in a short time. In addition, due to varied
depths and the irregular coastline, the water level can differ considerably between locations.

FAIRWAYS
More about fairways
North Channel
The fairway marked North Channel is for seagoing vessels with a draught up to 19.05
metres. The North Channel reaches from the sea south of the lighthouse Trubaduren into
Vinga Sand, Dana Fjord and the north area of Hake Fjord, to the Tor Harbour oil terminal
quay no. 801. Between Trubaduren and Dana Fjord, the fairway keeps a minimum depth of
22.9 metres. At MW, the North Channel between Dana Fjord and the Tor Harbour oil terminal
keeps a minimum depth of 20.5 metres. At the outer entrance, the fairway is about 540
metres wide and the width varies down to about 320 metres at the inner part. Both North and
South Channel end abreast of the harbour entrance at the mouth of the Göta River.
60
PORT OF GÖTEBORG
South Channel
The fairway marked South Channel reaches over the southern part of Hake Fjord and links
together the areas Vinga Sand and Rivö Fjord. Maximum draught in the South Channel is up
to 13 metres. Between Bötte and Rivö Fjord the fairway keeps a minimum depth of 15.8
metres (MW), and between Rivö Fjord and the Älvsborg Fortress, the fairway keeps a
minimum depth of 14.7 metres. Be aware of the frequent traffic of local ferries in the fairway
and water areas nearby. Abreast the island Bötte, the sea current conditions can sometimes
be strong. Both North and South Channel end at the mouth of the Göta River.
Vinga Channel
From the sea area west of the Vinga lighthouse a fairway reaches into the area of Vinga
Sand, called the Vinga Channel. Maximum draught during daytime is 8.5 metres and at night
the maximum draught is 6.5 metres. North of the Vinga lighthouse, there is often a fast
current abeam the fairway. Wind and current conditions in this fairway often shift rapidly and
therefore the Swedish Maritime Administration recommends all vessels to request pilotage at
all times when entering the Vinga Channel.
Göta River
The fairway between Göteborg and Vänersborg has a length of 50 nautical miles and the
difference of height between Lake Vänern and the west coast is 44 metres. This difference in
height is overcome by 6 locks, each of 6 - 8 metres in height. For further information
regarding the Vänern Maritime Traffic Area, destinations via the Göta River, locks and
maximum size vessels, visit the Swedish Maritime Administration website.

LIST OF AREAS
REGULAR PILOTAGE
How to order a pilot
The master, ship operator or agent sends a notice to the pilot centre as it reports to the
Vessel Reporting System (FRS), i.e. the central information system SafeSeaNet (SSN), 24
hours in advance of estimated time of arrival at the destination port.
Preliminary pilot request shall be made as close as possible to the FRS report, with
estimated starting time for pilotage and the reach to be piloted to/from. There is no charge for
ordering a pilot and the preliminary pilot request is not regarded as final.
A definite pilot request has to be made not later than five hours in advance of the pilotage
starting time, and an order change can then be made without charge if it is not later than
three hours in advance of the starting time (i.e. the pilotage starting time can be postponed
on one occasion). There will be an ordering charge if pilot request is made later than five
hours in advance, and this also applies if change or cancelling of pilot is made less than
three hours in advance of the pilotage starting time.
The pilot order shall always include the actual maximum draught, destination port, vessel’s
data (i.e. call sign, gross, cargo, air draught and ice class in winter conditions) and time for
pilot to embark. If pilot exemption is to be used at some part, the certificate number has to be
reported.
Pilot request can be made via Pilot Request Centre Göteborg:

11.4 TUGS
GENERAL
The standards for use of tugboats are calculated for normal current and wind situations.
When exceeding these normal situations or other circumstances that could arise, it may be
82
PORT OF GÖTEBORG
necessary to increase the number of tugboats. This is a decision to be made by the master
after consultation with the pilot.
The following guidelines have been prepared as a guide in ordering the number of tugboats
on arrival at/departure from the Port of Göteborg. They are calculated for normal current
conditions and for a maximum wind force of 10 m/s. For abnormal current conditions and
wind forces over 10 m/s, more tugboats may be required than what is prescribed in these
standard values. There is normally no traffic with larger tankers in the event of wind forces
over 15 m/s. For car carriers
longer than 190 m that have a well functioning bow propeller, a maximum of 16 m/s normally
applies on arrival at and a maximum of 18 m/s on departure from quay 601.
ESCORT TOWING
In order to increase safety, escort towing is compulsory for:
•
•
all loaded tankers of 30 000 dwt or more
tankers of 30 000 dwt or more in ballast condition and not gas-free (flash point below
60 degrees centigrade)
Where to connect / disconnect escorting tugboat:
• on arrival, not later than abreast passage of the Trubaduren lighthouse, chart no.
9313.
• on departure, not before passage abreast of the Trubaduren lighthouse, chart no.
9313.
Vessels compulsory to escort towing shall fulfil the OCIMF recommendations for tugboat
connection equipment.
In order to minimize the risk of damage to constructions of Port of Göteborg up on ship’s
arrival and departure shall pilot be used for all vessels when tug boat assistance is
needed. A pilot embarks/disembarks just before arrival/departure and has a key role to
establish a safe cooperation between vessel/tugboat.
Captains with exemption licence for the use of tugboat are excluded from this regulation.
PARAMETERS FOR NUMBER OF TUGBOATS
Tor Harbour, Skarvik- and Rya Harbour oil terminals
Vessel equipped with a “thruster”, forward or aft positioned, can reduce the number of tugs
by one (1) tug per unit. Vessels equipped with a high-efficient rudder, e.g. Becker or Schilling
rudder can reduce by one (1) tug. This also applies to vessels with two propellers and two
rudders.

11.6 LASHING OF CARGO
GENERAL
To avoid safety risks, all freight transported by sea must be handled correctly due to loading,
segregation and cargo securing. For further information regarding regulations, visit the
website www.sjofartsverket.se.
SECURING CARGO
All vessels with cargo transport must stow and secure the cargo safely enough to be
seaworthy. Regulations for Swedish vessels specify that all cargoes other than bulk cargoes
must be secured except for parcel goods to be transported on vessels in sea area E *, or
goods transported by road ferry on a regular ferry route. Cargo securing standards are
imposed on non-Swedish vessels on departure from Swedish ports.
* The division of sea areas is specified in chapter 1 §3 of the Ship Safety Ordinance
2003:438 and in SJÖFS 2003:3, www.sjofartsverket.se
HOW TO SECURE CARGO
Information and instructions on how to secure cargo can be found in the following
documents:
•
IMO/ILO/UN ECE Guidelines for Packaging of Cargo Transport Units (CTUs), 1997
ed.
•
TFK report 1998:2 (in Swedish): Securing Cargo – Recommendations and
instructions for loading and securing goods in cargo transport units, published by TFK
– The Swedish Transport Research Institute.
•
The Swedish Road Administration regulation (VVFS 1998:95) on changes in the
National Traffic Safety Agency regulation (TSVFS 1978:10) on securing cargo on
vehicles en route.
•
Ready reference guides produced by TYA – The Vocational Training and Working
Environment Council (Transport Trades): Securing Cargo for Transport and Securing
Cargo in Cargo Transport Units for Maritime Transport on the North Sea [B] and the
North Atlantic [C].
DOCUMENTATION
All vessels that call at Swedish ports carrying cargo other than bulk cargo shall have an
individual cargo-securing manual. The cargo shall be stowed and secured in accordance with
the manual. The cargo-securing manual shall be produced in compliance with MSC/Circ. 745
and for Swedish ships shall be approved by the Swedish Maritime Administration.
MSC/Circ. 745 is included in the Code of Safe Practice for Cargo Stowage and Securing
(IMO Nov 6 1991).

Implementation of Swedish Maritime Administration Code of Statues, SjöFS 2008:80,
regarding vessels’ responsibility within Swedish VTS-areas, with special focus upon
new routines within the Gothenburg VTS-area.
What changes will be implemented with the SjöFS 2008:80 from January 1st 2009?
•
•
•
•
•
•
The so called VTS-language will change to English, unless “very special reasons
apply” for not using the English language for communication with VTS Göteborg. The
VTS will reply in English or, should it be necessary, translate messages from Swedish
to English in order to make all parties aware of what is happening in the fairways.
All reporting points have been moved to new positions in order to give both VTS and
vessels better notice for exchanging information regarding choice of route as well as
other traffic in the area.
All reporting points should be reporting numbers, not former geographical names, i.e.
the reporting point previously called Burskärs Knöte will as of January 1st be reported
as Rpt#1.
The VTS-border to east has been changed to the Göta Älv-bridge.
Vessels are no longer required to call 30 minutes before entering the VTS-area, nor
are vessels required to call when leaving the VTS-area.
All vessels taking part in the VTS reporting system (vessels above 300 grt or 45 m
loa) will have to request “Traffic Clearance” for departing from berth or anchorage.

REGULATIONS FOR HOT WORK
Definitions
Hot work is defined as welding, cutting, brazing, roofing, processing with high-speed tools
and other work that gives rise to heat or sparks and in doing so can cause a fire. When hot
work is carried out in the vicinity of inflammable materials, this is classified as hazardous in
respect of fires.
A permanent workplace is a workplace that is always prepared according to the requirements
of the Swedish Fire Protection Association (SBF) at temporary workplaces for hot work and it
shall be isolated from production.
Temporary hot work is hot work that is not carried out at a permanent workplace.
The fire protection officer refers to the fire protection officer at the company carrying out the
hot work.
The fire protection officer must have experience of fire-protection and have completed the
SBF approved training course “Hot work”.

GENERAL
As a general rule, short-term storage of port related cargo is free in the port. After a number of
days, depending on the port division, a charge is levied on the cargo. Certain conditions apply for
longer-term storage. Storage facilities are available in the open and under cover, with or without
temperature control.
16.5 SHORE BASED ELECTRICITY
ONSHORE POWER SUPPLY (OPS), RO-RO TERMINAL
OPS means that ships use dockside electricity instead of burning bunker fuel to keep their
own generators running
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
First equipment for high voltage was installed in the year 2000
High voltage makes it more convenient to operate
Wind powered
About 10 vessels can be connected
Ferries and Roro vessels so far
All new quays are prepared with canalization for OPS
Received the Clean Marine Award from the EU Commission in 2004
The Port is involved in the standardization work within ISO (wg Ferries)
A considerable amount of power is required to be able to operate all functions on a vessel. Ports
are not normally equipped to supply vessels with electricity from the shore, nor are vessels usually
equipped for this. Instead the energy required is generated by the vessel’s own auxiliary engines,
which run an electricity generator. The auxiliary engine consumes diesel or heavy oil, and
generates both exhaust gases and noise. The technology enabling vessels to be connected to an
electricity supply by only one cable makes the job of handling the system both fast and simple.
Selecting a high voltage connection enables sufficiently high power to be transmitted to the vessel,
without the environmentally polluting emissions and noise that the engines create.
