Cavotec to deliver Maldives’ first shore power systems

This is the first shore power installation in the Maldives and marks an

important step in the country’s efforts to reduce carbon emissions in its

ports.

It also serves as a significant reference in the region, creating

opportunities for further projects in neighbouring island nations and South

Asia.

The systems will enable vessels calling at the port to connect to

electrical power while berthed, eliminating berth emissions and reducing the use

of auxiliary engines.

This cuts local air pollution and GHG emissions, and extends the

operational lifespan of vessel engines.

The order includes five Power Run and Power Feed systems, with deliveries

scheduled for the first quarter of 2026.

David Pagels, CEO of Cavotec, said: “This order is an important milestone

both for the Maldives and for Cavotec.

“It demonstrates the growing global commitment to port electrification and

positions Cavotec at the forefront of enabling this transition. We are proud to

support the Maldives in taking this step toward cleaner and more sustainable

port operations.”

Earlier this summer, Cavotec signed a €5 million ($5.9 million) contract

with a leading port operator to supply a MoorMaster automated vacuum mooring

system to a container terminal in Morocco.
