Hamburg Port Authority and ONE ink shore power supply deal

Dr. Melanie Leonhard, Hamburg’s Senator for Economic Affairs, Friedrich Stuhrmann, Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) of the Hamburg Port Authority (HPA), and Takahiro Kikuchi, Managing Director of Ocean Network Express (Europe) Ltd. (ONE), signed an agreement on the future use of shore power supply.

The signing ceremony took place along the sidelines of the “Transport Logistic 2025” trade fair in Munich, Germany.



Since May 2024, the Port of Hamburg has provided shore power for cruise and container ships, committing to equip all box terminals with shore power supply systems by the end of 2025.

In addition to the facilities already in operation at Eurogate Container Terminal Hamburg (CTH) and HHLA Container Terminal Tollerort (CTT), those at HHLA Container Terminal Burchardkai (CTB) and HHLA Container Terminal Altenwerder (CTA) are currently being installed.

Friedrich Stuhrmann, CCO of the HPA, commented: “Since the go-ahead for shore-side power supply for container ships was given in May last year, both we and the shipowners involved have been able to gather a wealth of experience. We are therefore delighted that ONE is now also using our new systems and that they are determined to contribute to lower emissions and more climate protection in the port by using this technology in the future.”

ONE is an active partner in the current integration tests and is the first shipping company to commit to purchasing shore power at the CTB and CTA facilities.



Takahiro Kikuchi, Managing Director of Ocean Network Express (Europe) Ltd., stated: “This agreement and operation mark a significant milestone as it represents ONE’s first shore power utilization in Europe. This initiative is a crucial step towards ensuring our vessels comply with forthcoming FuelEU regulations, which mandates shore power connections at EU ports from 2030. By committing early to using shore power at the CTB and CTA, we are supporting the Port of Hamburg’s transition toward low-emission operations.”
