Electrification for Ports
2021-12-21 10:00 - 12:00 (Europe/Berlin) | Online
Modern ports are vital hubs for the economy where active logistics routes cross and different modes of transport meet, so electrification of ports could make a significant contribution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Successful electrification processes require a forward-looking approach, a unified strategy between different actors in the port ecosystem on this issue, and focused action, as infrastructure upgrades and adaptations involve significant investment, the development and implementation of innovative solutions.
The Lithuanian Maritime Cluster and the Klaipėda Science and Technology Park, which coordinates its activities, invite you to an online event “Electrification for Ports” on Tuesday, December 21, during which the topic of port electrification will be reviewed, paying special attention to Klaipėda seaport – its readiness and potential for projects that are inseparable from the chosen direction of the green port.
Representatives of Klaipeda State Seaport Authority will present the results of the recent assessment of the need for electricity supply stations for ships in the port, reflecting the current situation and plans of quay operators. The event will provide an opportunity to get acquainted with the innovative electrification projects of the cluster partners BEGA and JSC Western Baltic Engineering – part of the Western Shipyard group. Valuable technological insights will be provided by the international cluster partners Schneider Electric Lietuva, which specialize in energy management, digital transformation and automation and work with different infrastructure and industrial facilities.
A detailed program of the event will be announced soon.
The language of the online event: English. The event is free of charge

Besides a recap of the project, achievement presentations as well as a key note presentation, the project does not only aim to showcase the activities done in the project, but to put the focus on the future development of digital transformation in small and medium-sized ports in the South Baltic Sea Region and beyond.
The event will be co-organised in line with Transport Week 2022. This allows to utilize on synergy effects and enables a broad offer of maritime topics to the audience.
Whereas Day 1 is dedicated for different presentations by the project partners, Day 2 will change the structure of the event towards a workshop in line with the DigiTechPort initiative. The Seed Money project shall lead to a bigger follow-up project for Connect2SmallPorts, hence, we use this opportunity for intensive working together with maritime experts to elaborate and better understand the paradigms of smart and green transition in the field of small and medium-sized ports.
The event agenda is regularly updated and can be found here: Day 1 | Day 2
