APMT Mumbai inks MoU with Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority

In a significant step towards advancing Shore Power Supply (SPS) in the region, Gateway Terminals India (GTI), also known as APM Terminals Mumbai, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority (JNPA) to pilot this technology.

“This agreement showcases how we are collaborating with port authorities, governments, and like-minded stakeholders to lead and take pioneering steps in deploying technology to tackle emissions in our industry at scale,” commented Sahar Rashidbeigi, APM Terminals’ global Head of Decarbonisation.

This initiative is designed to cut carbon emissions from vessels while they are docked, aligning with APM Terminals’ global decarbonization objectives.

Initially, the shore power will be sourced from the national grid, with a future transition to green energy through open access once the facility is operational. The system will support two ships simultaneously, reducing diesel usage and noise pollution at the port.

The agreement was formalized on 22 August, in the presence of Shri Sarbananda Sonowal, India’s Minister of Ports, Shipping, and Waterways.

APM Terminals Mumbai, operating as one of the five container terminals at Nhava Sheva’s Jawaharlal Nehru Port (JNPT), holds a 30-year license for container handling services at the port.

“Emissions from vessels at berth significantly contribute to poor air quality in and around ports, affecting community and marine health. Our efforts to minimize port stay for our customers through operational excellence measures have led to significant savings at many terminals and ports worldwide. With shore power, we have the opportunity to save an additional 40-60% of fuel and associated emissions during a port call,” said Sahar Rashidbeigi.
