The risks of pollution and sustained environmental damage in ports all over the world is becoming more and more an issue. During the last 15 years increasing attention has been paid on how to reduce pollution coming from the auxiliary diesel engines of ships which traffic, in ever increasing numbers, the ports and terminals around the world. These ships keep their auxiliary engines running when moored to ensure a continued power supply for essential services. To provide a solution the Cavotec Group has designed two different alternatives. The first alternative is to mount the cable...

Shore-based power supply FIXED OR MOBILE AMP SYSTEM 6,6KV (SHORE) – 6,6KV (SHIP) A unique feature of this AMP unit is its relative small size, making it an interesting option for installations where there is restricted space. Of course the fixed installation does not provide the flexibility of the mobile AMP system as it becomes an integrated part of the quay and cannot be moved after installation. The mobile AMP system’s main advantage is the flexibility it provides. When a ship comes into port it can be deployed and activated immediately. Once it is no longer needed it can either be...

BARGE-MOUNTED AMP SYSTEM 6,6KV (SHORE) – 440V (SHIP) A third alternative in the shore-based AMP systems range is to install the cable management system and other electrical equipment on a barge. This solution has been specifically designed to accommodate AMP supply to ships that cannot approach the quay in close. Traditional power supply systems do not allow for this but by using the bargemounted solution, the AMP system can approach the ship and provide a continuous 440V power supply. This type of system is operating succesfully at the Port of Los Angeles, USA. The barge-mounted AMP system...

Ship based power supply SEMI-FIXED AMP SYSTEM – ON SHIP 6,6KV (SHORE) – 6,6KV/440V (SHIP) Due to restricted space availability onboard ships it is not always possible to mount a fixed installation on the ships. To work around these restrictions, Cavotec has developed an innovative way of supplying power to the ship. With this solution the power supply system is mounted into either one 40ft container or two 20ft containers. The 40ft container solution is the so called All-in-One Concept. With the two 20ft container option the customer retains the possibility to change the position of the...

FIXED AMP SYSTEM – ON SHIP 6,6KV (SHORE) – 6,6KV/440V (SHIP) A completely different approach to AMP is offered by the “On- Ship” solutions. These systems are ideal when the quay is completely occupied by crane installations and auxiliary loading and unloading vehicles. In these situations it is not possible to install a shore-based AMP and a ship-based option becomes the obvious choice. All equipment necessary for the shore connection, including the cable management system, is installed onboard the ship. This solution is only advised for “New building” projects and allows for quick and...

To be able to supply power to each individual cable management system an integrated technical pit must be install on the quay. This technical pit serves as the main connection point for all the cables leading from the main quay power supply up to the cable management system. Thanks to its compact design it occupies a minimum of space so it does not form an obstruction to any of the ports’ operations. The Integrated Technical Pit consists of: - Stainless steel housing (IP66). - Electrical sockets up to 12kV, fitted with safety features such as pilots and interlocks. - Optical fibre...
