The Hamburg Port Authority (HPA) commissioned Siemens AG to construct the first shore-side power stations for box carriers in the Port of Hamburg.
The stations will be built at HHLA Container Terminals Burchardkai and Tollerort in the Port of Hamburg. From 2023 on, they will deliver green electricity from the public grid to ships in an initial test phase.

The project is one of many measures implemented in line with the city of Hamburg’s air purification plan starting in 2025.
Recently, shore power station for boxships begins in Hamburg. This aims to support and accelerate both the achievement of market maturity and the integration into regular port operations.
CPL brings together equipment manufacturers as well as port and logistics companies with academic partners, producers of renewable hydrogen, software companies and operators and manufacturers of storage tank locations.
The parties cooperate to conduct research and practical tests into how hydrogen can be used in a reliable way to supply power to port technology and port logistics. The cluster also carries out simulations and investigations and develops training concepts for this purpose. At the core of activities will be a test centre for hydrogen-powered equipment at the HHLA Container Terminal Tollerort in Hamburg.
