MARITIME
onshore facilities and ship power supply
PROCONECT designs robust, IP66/67 and IK10-rated electrical connection solutions tailored for the extreme demands of the maritime sector. For commercial Onshore Power Supply (OPS), our low and medium-voltage ranges (up to 24 kV) ensure full IEC/IEEE 80005 compliance, enabling safe and emission-free operations at berth. For heavy port infrastructure, we deliver power and control connections built to withstand the severe vibrations and mechanical stress of mobile cranes. In marinas, our specialized low-voltage series featuring integrated AC22/23 breaking capacity eliminate electrical arcing, guaranteeing maximum user safety. Beyond standard products, our expert design office provides full retro-engineering and custom development for electrical cabinets, ship inlets, and cable management systems (CMS) precisely tailored to your technical requirements.
Crane electrification
Electrical connection of cranes for portuary handling
Connectors designed for port handling via cranes requiring a powerful power supply that can withstand the stresses of port operations or shipyards.
Can be integrated in various sytems, RTG/eRTG (Rubber-Tyred Gantry), RMG (Rail-Mounted Gantry), STS (Ship-to-Shore) or AMG (Automated/Mobile Gantry).
Onshore Power Supply
OPS following IEC 80005-1/3
Onshore Power Supply (OPS) allows a ship docked at berth to shut down its onboard generators and draw electric power directly from shore, drastically cutting emissions, noise and fuel usage.
Under EU policy (e.g. AFIR), ports must deploy OPS infrastructure by 2030 to meet demand from passenger, container and other vessels. In practice, OPS systems require robust high-voltage or medium-voltage connections, protective switchgear, and safe interfaces adapted to ship and grid requirements.
Beyond large commercial shipping, shore power is equally critical for marinas and recreational boating. In these environments, pleasure craft rely on specialized low-voltage connections equipped with advanced safety features—such as integrated breaking capacity—to eliminate electrical arcing during manipulation and ensure secure, foolproof power distribution for users.
By enabling ships and boats to “plug in” rather than run engines in port, OPS plays a key role in decarbonizing maritime operations and improving urban air quality.
