Shore power also termed as "Cold ironing", "Shore to Ship Technology", "Alternative Marine Power (AMP)", and "Onshore Power Supply (OPS)", enables the vessels to shut down their onboard diesel generators while berthing at docking points and provides electric power from the local grid. Shore power has greatly contributed to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, CO2, NOx content, noise pollution, and vibration due to on-board diesel generators of vessels.
