By Installation, Shore Power Market is segmented into Shoreside and Shipside variants. Shoreside segment dominates the market sphere while having more than 50% share, due to lower cost that comes up in the installation of this infrastructure, which includes power conversion equipment, transformers and cable networks. Shoreside infrastructure can serve multiple ships at the same time, making it a cost-effective measure for busy dockyards. Development and upgradation of shoreside infrastructure is a lot easier than modifying ships, facilitating faster adoption. Governments in many countries are offering financial incentives and lowering tax deductions for installation of port connections. Both, Shoreside and Shipside installation play important role in the market. While Shoreside dominates due to scalability and affordability, Shipside segment is seeing prominent growth driven by advancements and regulations.
Government Initiatives and better environmental regulations will promote sustainability
There has been growing concerns regarding greenhouse emissions and growing carbon footprints recently, which are driving government initiates and better environmental regulations that effect the market. Governments are providing tax subsidies and financial incentives to the port managing authorities to invest in shore power infrastructure, which helps companies to ease the financial burden. Several countries especially in the EU have stricter air quality management norms, which aims a specific target regarding emission for ports and ships, this influences port regulators to use shore powers. Regulations by International Maritime Organization regulations on sulphur and nitrogen emissions push ports and ships to adapt low emissions, many ports are implementing own clean energy initiative, that prioritize shore power use in boundaries. Public health concerns are also top most priority and air pollution are motivating some governments to enforce strict regulations.
Reduction in Noise Pollution with efficient fuel cost savings increases market demand
Fuel Cost Saving and Noise pollution reduction are important factors that are currently influencing the market development, switch from diesel powered generators, to shore power has been significant in reducing fuel consumption up to 70%. Usage of shore power are helping the port operators and shipping companies indirectly, as lower emissions of carbon monoxide, nitrogen etc., are helping the companies to save financially by paying low carbon and environmental relation taxes. Reducing the use of on-board generators help in reducing noise pollution, as shore power helps in improving working conditions for employees. Low level of noise generation is indirectly beneficial for public health and environment as a whole. The combined effect of fuel cost savings and noise pollution reduction makes shore power a compelling solution for both economic and environmental reasons.
Limited availability of Ports with shore power may have a negative influence
Shore power has many benefits, but limited shore availability stands as a significant restraint, as installation of shore power infrastructure can be complex and expensive as significant investments are required in components. Investments made in the shore power may take couple of years to generate profits, this may discourage port companies, while there can be different power requirements for vessels and ships of diverse categories, which can create problems to setup wide large of shore power systems. While, some ports being small may not have required space for installation. Limited port availability restricts the potential consumer base for shore power corporations, while shore power may benefit the new ports, it may leave other ports behind in terms of efficiency.
