The Port of Oslo has officially opened a new shore power facility for cruise ships at Revier Quay. The inauguration coincided with the arrival of the cruise ship AIDAluna, which successfully connected to shore power. The facility has been operational since May 19, and to date, 20 out of 43 arriving cruise ships have switched off their diesel engines and utilized the connection. Looking ahead, the Port of Oslo plans to open another shore power facility for cruise ships docking at Filipstadkaia in 2025. The port estimates these new installations can significantly reduce emissions from cruise ships within Oslo's maritime boundaries by up to 80% over the next three to four years. According to Oslo's 2022 climate report, cruise ships contribute approximately 8,000 tons of CO₂ emissions within municipal limits, including during their approach to the port. The new shore power facility is designed with future adaptability in mind, accommodating various needs. Cruise ships transitioning to battery technology in the coming years will be able to charge their batteries and operate emission-free while entering and leaving the city. Furthermore, by Christmas, Oslo's electric buses will also be able to recharge their batteries at this facility. The port's overarching goal is to achieve an 85% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and ultimately transition into a zero-emission port.
