AF Bygg Väst tildelt kontrakt

AF Bygg Väst, a part of AF Gruppen Sverige, has been awarded a turnkey contract by the Port of Gothenburg to construct a new power station in Skandiahamnen. The contract is valued at SEK 129 million excluding VAT and represents the first collaboration between AF Gruppen and the Port of Gothenburg.

19 MVA strømforsyning til skip

The project involves building a power station with an incoming electricity capacity of 19 MVA designed to provide Onshore Power Supply (OPS) to vessels calling at the port. This includes ships in the Container, RoPax, and Cruise segments. The facility will supply shore power to multiple berths within Skandiahamnen, enabling vessels to shut down their engines while docked and connect to the land-based electrical grid.

Miljømål og OPS-mandat 2030

This development is part of the Port of Gothenburg's environmental efforts to achieve a greener and more sustainable port operation. By supplying clean shore power, the project supports the reduction of harmful emissions from shipping activities at the quay and helps comply with the legal OPS mandate effective from 2030.

Byggestart Q2 2025, ferdig 2027

Construction is scheduled to commence in the second quarter of 2025, with the power station expected to be completed by March 2027. The timely delivery of this facility is crucial to ensure that the port meets the upcoming regulations and furthers its goals for emissions-free maritime traffic.

Håndtering av risiko og kompleksitet

The project carries inherent risks typical of large-scale electrical infrastructure construction, including managing schedule adherence and technical integration of high-capacity power systems. However, AF Gruppen's experience as a publicly listed contractor operating extensively in Norway and Sweden positions them well to handle these challenges and successfully deliver the project.
