Shore power equipment provider Zinus has announced a contract with the Port of Skagen for the delivery of two ZPP115 shore power units, set to be delivered early in 2025, and marking another milestone in Zinus’ expanding presence in Denmark.
The ZPP115 is an upgraded version of the ZPP215 model, building on its predecessor’s reliability and performance. Designed with flexibility in mind, the ZPP115 offers efficient handling of shore power cable management, catering to the diverse needs of ports and the vessels they serve. Its innovative features allow for seamless integration, making it suitable for ports looking to improve energy efficiency and support sustainable operations.
Klaus Kopelman, Sales Manager Zinus said: “We are thrilled to add the Port of Skagen to our growing list of Danish clients. The Port of Skagen is a vital hub in the region, serving a variety of vessels from fishing and cargo to cruise ships. Our ZPP115 units will provide the port with a reliable, environmentally friendly power solution, helping them to reduce emissions and create a cleaner port environment. This partnership represents a great step forward in supporting Denmark’s ambitions for greener maritime operations.”
The Port of Skagen is one of Denmark’s busiest and most diverse ports and with rapid growth underway, the port has been focusing on enhancing its sustainability efforts, and the introduction of shore power technology is an essential part of that strategy.
Port of Skagen CEO Willy B Hansen said: “The Cable Management System from Zinus is a vital part of the Port of Skagen pilot in the Interreg North Sea project – Green Supply Chains. The pilot aim is to electrify the pelagic fish landing operation at the Scandic Pelagic and FF-Skagen landing terminals. The system will enable the large vessels to turn off their diesels and run on green electricity.”
The collaboration between Zinus and the Port of Skagen underscores both parties’ commitment to reducing the carbon footprint of maritime operations.
