Operation & Configurations
ERMA FIRST BLUE CONNECT is an alternative maritime power solution designed and offered by ERMA FIRST, that facilitates a vessel’s connection to a port’s electrical grid to power onboard services, systems and equipment. This means the ships’ diesel generators can be shut down with a resultant reduction in noise, vibrations and emissions, such as particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, sulphur oxides, carbon oxides and volatile organic compounds. Vessels with power demands higher than 1MVA must establish high-voltage connections (6,6kV or 11kV) with the mainland’s power grid, implementing suitable equipment according to international regulations and ports requirements.
