Oslo Havn authority has approved the construction of a shore power facility for cruise ships at Revierkaia on Vippetangen. The facility forms part of Oslo Havn’s targeted efforts to reduce emissions, in support of their goal of cutting emissions by 85% by 2030. The owner of Oslo Havn, the council for business and ownership, has designated Revierkaia as the future dock for cruises in the allocation letters to Oslo Havn.

Reduksjon av utslipp

The shore power facility, planned to be established by 2025, has been in the works since the establishment of an international standard for such facilities. Cruise lines are preparing their ships to utilize the shore power system by the target date. The project is anticipated to achieve an annual reduction of 3,700 tons of CO2, 52 tons of NOx, and 2 tons of SOx. Although Revierkaia is limited in vessel length to three hundred meters and depth to 8.4 meters, this implies that not all cruise ships will be able to dock in Oslo in the future.

Økonomisk insentiv og støtte

An Environmental Port Index (EPI) is introduced by Oslo Havn to provide an economic incentive for sustainable and environmentally friendly cruise operations and discourages the arrival of polluting ships. Ships using shore power, among other things, will receive reduced port fees. Oslo Havn has received an indication of a 27.5 million Norwegian kroner grant from Enova to support the establishment of the shore power facility, which has a total project frame of 81.8 million kroner. The facility has a lifespan of 25 to 30 years, is modular, and covers an area of approximately 120 square meters.
