en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Port of Ancona in Italy is nearing completion of its pier electrification renovation project, focusing on installing shore power connections at six piers used for ferry traffic.

The Central Adriatic Port Authority (Autoridad Portuaria del Adriático Central) announced on its official website that, following the laying of cables, partial installation of substations, and connection of the system to the national grid, the first two cranes have recently arrived and will be installed at Piers 15 and 16. These cranes are used to connect ships to the power grid while they are docked, allowing vessels to avoid consuming fuel.

The authority stated that in the coming days, the port will receive three additional cranes and the remaining control rooms needed to complete the grid connection installation. This installation work must be completed by June 30, in accordance with the timeline requirements of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR). The Port of Ancona will also be equipped with a Cable Management System (CMS), an automated mobile system used to connect shore power at the port to docked ships.

The announcement noted that with these achievements, the Port of Ancona has met the targets set by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) and EU regulations on the electrification of major European ports. The total investment in these projects amounts to 9.89 million euros.
