Kiel in North Germany is a popular departure point for cruises as well as starting point for ferries bound for Norway, Sweden, and the Baltic.
While cruise ships and ferries lie at anchor, their huge diesel engines are normally left running in order to continue supplying the ships’ systems with power.

Watch to find out how the onshore power supply system paves the way towards cleaner air, more peace and quiet for the port city, and less CO₂ impacting the atmosphere.
