Cavotec is a leading cleantech company that designs and delivers connection and electrification solutions to enable the decarbonization of ports and industrial applications.
Cavotec pioneered ShorePower technology in the 80s. Since then, we have designed,
manufactured, and delivered innovative Products & Solutions to over 100 Ports & 1000 Vessels enabling our customers to take charge of their emissions.
PoweAMPReel is a cable reeling system that is designed to be placed on board of ships
and acts as the link between ship and shore electrical infrastructures.
The system on ship allows the storage, deployment, and recovery of HV or LV electrical
cables for connecting the vessel to a land-based power source during the port stay. This
allows the ship to switch off its generators, thereby giving significant reductions in noise
and air pollution.
The system enables safe ShorePower operations thanks to
• A length of cable terminated with Cavotec PC5 push-pull connectors
• A monospiral cable drum, storing & protecting the cable
• A hydrodynamic drive unit with slipping clutch & gearbox, managing the cable tension during vessel displacement (tide, waves, change in draft)
• A cable guide with multi-rollers positioning and protecting the cable during operations
• A set of sensors as well as audible and visual alarms to alert the operators of key operating conditions
• A control interface to operate the reel: Reel In, Reel Out, Auto/manual Mode, Emergency stop.
