On 6 December, DaChan Bay Terminals has become the first container terminal facility in South China offering shore power at all berths with the second phase of the shore power installation officially concluded and accepted by relevant authorities.

We are committed to sustainability and will continue to introduce new initiatives to enhance our performance in this aspect.”
Dong Yanze, Director of Port and Shipping Administration of Transportation Bureau of Shenzhen Municipal said: “Shenzhen port has the largest number of berths with shore power capability in China. The shore power project has the full support of Shenzhen government and we look forward to the participation of other terminals and relevant stakeholders in the development of the Green Port in Shenzhen, and vessels switch to shore power while berthing.”
The second phase of the shore power installation commenced on 25 February 2019 and a preliminary acceptance was granted in late September by the China Classification Society.
During the test period, a total of three ships have deployed shore power for more than 10 hours. All data collected were satisfactory reflecting the stability, reliability, and high safety standard of DaChan Bay Terminals’ shore power system.
In order to encourage shipping lines to deploy shore power while berthing at port facilities in Shenzhen, the Transportation Bureau of Shenzhen Municipal has launched an incentive scheme.
