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.

PROJECT AIMS

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 ofthe 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 ofthe 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 ofthe appropriate pricing methodology, and;

• 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.

PPA SA ROLE

In the frame of CIPORT, PPA SA will implement all studies to prepare and accelerate the effective launch of cold ironing in the cruise sector. Additionally, PPA SA, as Lead Partner, is responsible for the successful implementation of the project at management and dissemination level.
