DP World announced that it launched a EUR 53.8 million project to electrify its container terminal at the Port of Constan\u021ba in Romania. The investment, co-financed by the European Union, is scheduled for completion by August 31, 2028.<\/p>\n
The financing package includes an EU grant of up to EUR 19.7 million through the Connecting Europe Facility, a loan of up to EUR 25 million from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, and a contribution from terminal operator Constan\u021ba South Container Terminal.<\/p>\n
The project will electrify 29 container blocks through the installation of approximately 6 km of busbar infrastructure designed to power electric rubber-tired gantry cranes.<\/p>\n
DP World will also build a charging hub with 10 charging points and acquire 10 electric terminal tractors. A dedicated transformer station will support the new vehicles.<\/p>\n
Two onshore power supply systems, also known as cold ironing systems, will allow docked vessels to connect to shore-side electricity rather than operate their auxiliary engines while in port. The systems will be powered exclusively by electricity from renewable sources, the company said.<\/p>\n
The investment also includes three transformer stations, each fitted with three 2,000 kVA transformers, as well as two 5 MVA transformers for the shore-power systems.<\/p>\n
The project is part of a wider electrification program that includes a separate EUR 46.2 million investment in remotely operated electric gantry cranes, two electric mobile harbor cranes, and additional electric terminal tractors.<\/p>\n
The two components will bring DP World\u2019s total planned investment in electrifying its Constan\u021ba operations to EUR 100 million.<\/p>\n
Romania\u2019s Port of Constan\u021ba is the largest port on the Black Sea and an important hub on the EU\u2019s Trans-European Transport Network.<\/p>\n
