Onshore Power for berth EO2
The Port of Helsinki built a new onshore power connection at the Olympia Terminal berth EO2.
This project was connected to the implementation of the Port’s carbon neutral programme. Onshore power supply makes it possible to reduce the climate emissions generated while ships are berthed in port.
This project is part of the streamlining of the sea traffic between Helsinki and Tallinn as well as the development of the Europe-wide Ten-T network. The construction is partly funded by the EU investment project TWIN-PORT IV
