en.Wedoany.com Reported - Norway's Eidfjord Port has recently completed a dock expansion and layout renovation project, increasing the original dock length by 40 meters to enhance passenger flow processing efficiency and vessel operation capabilities.
The core of this project lies in optimizing the traffic organization within the port. The extended berth enhances the port's capacity to accommodate large cruise ships. The renovation focused on planning dedicated pedestrian walkways and bus operation zones within the port area. Through a design that separates pedestrian and vehicle traffic, it reduces cross-interference between passenger embarkation/disembarkation and cargo operations, improving overall operational efficiency and safety.
The expansion project also includes the completion of a shore power infrastructure platform. The contract for the relevant shore power equipment has been officially signed, with the supplier scheduled to begin delivery in February 2027. This shore power facility, designed with a capacity of 12 MVA, is planned to be officially put into operation in April 2027. By then, docking vessels will be able to connect to the onshore power grid, reducing emissions from auxiliary generators during their port stay.
A spokesperson for Eidfjord Port stated: "These improvements will support smooth port calls, and we look forward to welcoming ships, believing these upgrades will make a difference for both tourists and crew."
Through this infrastructure upgrade, Eidfjord Port has not only expanded its physical space but also created conditions for future green operations. As the global shipping emission reduction process advances, port shore power systems are gradually becoming an important configuration for measuring the sustainable development level of terminals.
