First impact analysis on OPEX 

Preliminary business case (CAPEX, OPEX, Revenues) 

Explore possible ways of financing (subsidies, lease) for CAPEX 

Investigate different business models: for example, outsourcing shore power activities to Rotterdam Shore Power 

What is your current grid-capacity and would grid congestion be of any impact? 

Consider other electricital power sources (PV’s, battery, etc.) 

First sketches on physical design at the terminal (Grid connection location, e-house location, cable routing, cable management system near quay) 

First high level technical design (Single Line Diagram) and CAPEX cost estimate +/-40%. 

First contact with grid operator  

Consider which opportunities installing shore power could bring to your business?  

What could the impact on your client portfolio be? 

Incorporate your customer demand in your current development plans for the terminal. 

Consult clients – get their opinion and incorporate this in your plan. Thereby include the potential reduction of the Carbon Intensity Indicator, FuelEU Maritime Compliance and the opportunities to make their supply chain more sustainable. 

Consider power demand and development over time. 

An increasing number of jurisdictions require ports or terminals to supply onshore power to vessels. Explore the international regulatory and legal framework for the requirements and impact on the terminal (Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR) and Fuel EU Maritime (FEUM). 

National and port legislation for vessels and terminals is available via our website. 

Determine the scope – and consider a phased approach if possible.
