    First Cruise Ships to Connect to Shore Power in Amsterdam

    4th March 2025

    A new shore power installation for cruise ships in Amsterdam has been undergoing testing and is expected to become operational in April 2025. The company Powercon has been contracted to oversee the initial installation and carry out additional work to ensure that 75% of seagoing cruise ships in Amsterdam will have access to shore power by 2026.

    Starting in 2030, all seagoing cruise ships in the EU will be required to use shore power. However, due to the central location of the Cruise Port in Amsterdam, authorities have committed to ensuring that sufficient shore power infrastructure is available well before the 2030 deadline. Additionally, the port has already banned ships with Tier 0 engines and will impose further restrictions on older vessels. Cruise ships with Tier I engines will be required to pay a 10% surcharge, those with Tier II engines will pay the standard rate, and Tier III-certified ships will receive a 30% discount.

    The shore power installation is co-financed by a European subsidy and a grant from the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management. A similar shore power installation for cruise ships is also under construction in Rotterdam and is expected to become operational later this year.

    Shipowners and operators interested in learning more about their options and the implications of these developments are invited to contact NNPC Correspondents for further information.
