A selection of MKO references
MKO Marine Consulting has partnered with numerous companies, port authorities, and others on various projects to reduce emissions in ports. We are honoured to share some of these references with you:
Port of Koper
Task: Concept solution for the electrification of the Port of Koper for Onshore Power Supply (OPS)
Details: Investigation and preparation of OPS power transmission and cable management solutions to suit the terminal infrastructure. The study includes a frequency converter station proposal and the preparation of tender documents for the OPS installation.
Rijeka Port Authority
Task: Tender document preparation for OPS installation
Details: Preparation of tender documents and investigation of implementing a cable management system solution that suits the terminal infrastructure and the dimensions of the AGCT and RGWCT terminals in Rijeka. The study includes a proposal for a frequency converter station.
Lübeck Port Authority
Task: Feasibility study of OPS for Ro/Ro vessels
Details: Feasibility study at LP 5 and 6 of Travemünde Skandinavienkai. Determination of the electrical connection positions and power requirements for various Ro/Ro vessels. Determination of power transfer positions and the transfer system in design and shore position. Determination of power loads, discussions with the power grid operator and power supplier, comparison of suppliers and preparation of tender specifications.
Hamburg Port Authority
Task: Feasibility study of OPS for a container terminal
Details: Feasibility study for fixed Onshore Power Supply (OPS) for container ships at the berths of the container terminals. Determination of energy demand and existing solutions on the market. Development of a new solution for power transfer, creation of a calculation model for a grid-connected solution, self-generation, consideration of power storage solutions, and cost calculations.
Grand Port Valetta
Task: Operational & maintenance services
Details: Preparation of a technical operation and maintenance service specification for the safe operation of the oneshore power supply (OPS) equipment by a third party. Technical description of every step of the OPS operation ashore in line with ISO IEC 80005-1 and system maintenance.
NOW GmbH
Task: Possibilities and requirements for mobile OPS
Details: Only a few German ports have the stationary infrastructure to supply ships with onshore power supply (OPS). Today, the ship's diesel engines ensure the energy requirement, which is heavily dependent on the size and type of ship. To counter this, mobile onshore power supply solutions are gaining importance due to their greater flexibility. However, extensive experience with mobile shore power solutions has yet to be achieved. A test application revealed various challenges that require further investigation.
Rostock Port
Task: CO2 reduction during the port stay of vessels
Details: Feasibility study for the whole port, determination of the electrical connection positions and power requirements of various ship types. Determination of power transfer points and transfer system in design and shore position. Determination of power loads, discussions with power grid operator and power supplier, and comparison of suppliers for possible systems. CO2 reduction calculation, elaboration and commenting on the content of the AFIR and Fuel EU Maritime 2030 Regulations.
Malta Container Terminal
Task: Operational & maintenance services
Details: Preparation of technical operation and maintenance service specifications for the safe operation of the OPS equipment of the Commercial Container Terminal Malta. Technical description of every step of the OPS operation ashore in line with ISO IEC 80005-1 and system maintenance.
Rijeka Port Authority
Task: Feasibility study of OPS for container vessels
Details: Feasibility study for container terminals, determination of the electrical connection positions and power requirements of the various ships. Determination of power transfer points to the vessels and the transfer system design and shore position. Determination of the power loads and total power demand for the port, discussions with the power grid operator and power supplier. Comparison of suppliers for possible systems and preparation of tender specifications.
Becker Marine Systems
Task: Development, construction and commissioning of a LNG hybrid barge
Details: Becker Marine Systems developed the LNG Hybrid Barge as a clean solution for powering cruise ships. LNG generates electrical energy through gas engine generator sets, providing cruise ships with electrical power while in port.
