CLEANER & GREENER

Harnessing Shore-to-Ship Power for Sustainable Port Operations.

As part of Malta’s commitment to sustainability and reducing environmental impact, the Grand Harbour Clean Air Project incorporates cutting-edge shore-to-ship electricity technology. This system allows docked cruise liners to power down their diesel engines and connect to Malta’s electrical grid, significantly reducing the emission of greenhouse gases and air pollutants.

By investing in this technology, Malta’s Grand Harbour is set to become a leader in sustainable port operations in Europe, promoting a cleaner, greener future.
