Project name: CIPORT - Cold Ironing in the PORT of Piraeus

Programme:

CEF PROGRAMME - EUROPEAN CLIMATE INFRASTRUCTURE AND ENVIRONMENT EXECUTIVE AGENCY

Duration: 01/08/2021 – 29/02/2024

Project summary

The Action addresses the Core maritime Port of Piraeus, located on the Orient East-Med Core Network Corridor. It is part of the Global project which aims to transform the Port of Piraeus into a Green Cruise Hub. The Action aims to provide the final studies and engineering designs for the development of On-shore Power Supply (OPS) technology for four cruise vessels positions at the Themistoklis coast in the core maritime Port of Piraeus.

Objectives

The Action includes the elaboration of the following main studies:

Technical studies for the installation of OPS for the four identified cruise vessels positions, including the infrastructure that will allow the connection of the Port’s grid to the city's local grid
Technical requirements and operational procedures for the electric connection and power provision to cruise vessels by the Port
Environmental studies required for the installation and operation of the OPS system
A Cost-Benefit Analysis
A study for the appropriate commercial model for the electricity supply to cruise vessels as well as a calculation of the appropriate pricing methodology
Tender documents for the subsequent works

The completion of the Action will lead to the launch of the tender for the subsequent works after the Action’s end.

Protasis scope

As part of the CIPORT project, PROTASIS S.A. is conducting Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) studies for the Shore-Side Electricity (SSE) infrastructure at the port of Piraeus. This includes extending the planned SSE position from the passenger terminal to the cruise terminal.

Specifically, the FEED studies will encompass the design for establishing four SSE positions to accommodate cruise ships. This will include coverage of primary and secondary electrical equipment, the specification of optimal Cable Management System (CMS) arrangements, cost estimation for the procurement and installation of the future SSE, and technical design studies. These studies will provide planning design, finalize equipment and infrastructure specifications in accordance with international standards IEC 80005-1/2/3, and ensure compatibility for port-to-vessel interconnections.
