The collage illustrates the range of services offered by shore power, from installation and logistics to commissioning and maintenance.

Engineering, installation and service from one source​

Shore power projects are complex infrastructure projects with individual technical requirements. With our interdisciplinary team, we take care of the planning, system integration, installation, commissioning, maintenance, and inspection of the entire shore power system. The result is cost-effective and future-proof solutions that are optimally tailored to the requirements of the respective terminal.​

Engineering

3D visualisation of an iMSPO variant assembled on the quay: A mobile shore power connection module sits in a guide rail directly on the edge of the quay and is equipped with railings, a control panel and a coiled cable/hose guide; red supply cable lead into the system, on the right you can see the quay wall towards the water. The image explains how this version works: The iMSPO moves along the quay edge and positions the mounting point flexibly at the respective berth to supply ships with shore power. This "quayside" assembly is one of several available iMSPO installation variants.

Customised shore power solutions

Every terminal has different requirements for the integration of shore power. Berth layout, fender systems, flood protection systems, ship profiles, and operational processes have a decisive influence on the optimal system design.​

That is why every shore power project at igus begins with a detailed engineering process. Together with the operator, we analyse the technical and operational framework conditions and develop the right solution for the respective location - from the selection of the optimal installation option to complete system integration.​

Thanks to our experience with numerous shore power projects implemented for container, cruise, Ro-Ro and multi-use terminals worldwide, our customers benefit from proven concepts, short planning paths and a technically and economically optimised solution.​

​

The result: Tailor-made shore power systems that integrate optimally into the infrastructure and operational processes of any terminal.​

Installation

Experience from shore power projects implemented worldwide​

Every terminal has its own technical and operational requirements. This is why every installation concept is individually tailored to the infrastructure, terminal operation and local conditions. We take container, cruise and Ro-Ro terminals into account in equal measure and plan the implementation in such a way that ongoing operations can be maintained as well as possible. Thanks to our global network and cooperation with local installation partners, our customers benefit from short response times, high cost efficiency and local know-how. At the same time, experienced shore power supervisors and locally based igus port managers supervise the installation on site and ensure the technical quality of the implementation. Thanks to the experience gained from numerous shore power projects already implemented, installations can be carried out in clearly defined project phases - from pre-installation to commissioning. Especially with new buildings, it is advisable to integrate infrastructure components such as trench systems into the terminal planning at an early stage in order to achieve maximum flexibility and minimal restrictions in operation in the long term.​

​

The result: Efficient installation processes, minimised impact on terminal operations, and safe commissioning by experienced shore power specialists​

Maintenance

Maximum system availability through preventive maintenance and regular inspections

  • ​Early detection of wear to avoid unplanned downtime and costly failures​
  • Increased operational safety over the entire service life of the shore power system​
  • Structured maintenance intervals for reliable and standard-compliant operation​
  • Extended guarantee options as part of maintenance agreements​
  • Remote support and remote diagnosis for fast error analysis and efficient assistance​
  • Short response times thanks to direct access to service experts and spare parts​
  • Maintenance by shore power specialists with experience from international shore power projects​
  • Predictable lifecycle costs through preventive instead of reactive maintenance​
  • Long-term operational support from commissioning to decades of operation​

Our goal: To keep shore power systems ready for operation at all times – safe, reliable and available exactly when they are needed.​

The iMSPO in use worldwide​

For years, ports and terminals around the world have relied on igus shore power supply solutions. From container and cruise terminals to applications at Ro-Ro terminals - our systems prove themselves daily under real operating conditions on all continents.​
