Stillstrom, a new company owned by Maersk's offshore marine service division, has developed technology that will allow vessels to charge while moored to a buoy connected to land via a transmission line. Maersk plans to eliminate idle emissions by installing hundreds of full-scale offshore charging stations for the vessel outside the ports so that the vessels use electricity from charging stations, instead of consuming oil. The container vessels can consume three to five tonnes of fuel when idle per day. This enables maritime decarbonization, by providing the infrastructure that will allow vessels to charge from clean energy when idle offshore. The mission is to remove 5.5 million tons of CO2 within five years of commercial rollout, additionally eliminating particulate matter, NOx, and SOx. https://headtopics.com/us/a-shipping-group-has-launched-the-world-s-first-offshore-charging-station-23725962 https://www.maersk.com/
