Bremen and MSC agree on the use of shore power

28.09.2023
BREMERHAVEN. There were two reasons to celebrate in Bremerhaven in July. Firstly, “MSC Michel Cappellini”, the largest container ship in the world with up to 24,346 containers, was officially christened at the Stromkaje Terminal. Secondly, SØren Toft (CEO of MSC), Kai Stührenberg (State Councillor to the Senator for Economics, Ports and Transformation) and bremenports Managing Director Robert Howe signed a memorandum of understanding that sends an important signal for the avoidance of CO2 emissions in the port. The event was described as follows: “The parties agree to cooperate with regard to the use of shore-side electricity for MSC container ships docking in the Port of Bremerhaven. This is the first step towards emissions-free shipping and the decarbonisation of MSC companies’ operations.”
