The key takeaways are that SIHARBOR provides an integrated shore power supply solution for ports and docked ships using Siemens' Totally Integrated Power approach.

Ports face increasing air and noise pollution from ships running their diesel generators while docked. This creates emissions comparable to a medium-sized city.

SIHARBOR provides benefits like reduced emissions, noise and vibrations for local communities as well as cost savings from not running diesel generators for ships and new business opportunities for ports in providing shore power.
