We are pleased to announce that our company, BMG Marine, participates as a partner in the project entitled "Electriport - Alternative Maritime Power in the Port of Heraklion" which was submitted and approved from CEF, Transport MAP Call  2020 and will be sponsored by CINEA.

The project includes the elaboration of a complete set of studies and engineering designs for the development of On-shore Power Supply (OPS) technology for all type of vessels at the core maritime Port of Heraklion, Crete. It is important to investigate the use of renewable energy sources in order to further reduce the amount of CO2 emissions in the port area. The project completion is scheduled by Q1 2023.

The corporate scheme consists of the following bodies:

Heraklion Port Authority SA
Wartsila Greece SA
Hellenic Mediterranean University

Our goal is to make the port of Heraklion, Crete one of the first ports where the "Cold Ironing" technology will be applied. We believe that through the project Electriport the appropriate conditions will be created for the development of dialogue and exchange of know-how at a global level in order to design actions where they will contribute to the integrated protection of the environment.
