ContainerLink
ContainerLink is a mobile quay-side shore power system designed to supply electric power to docked container vessels. Power cables are deployed from the ship and lowered to the quay. Once properly positioned, the operator connects the plugs to the designated sockets on the shore-side connection cabinet.
Built to withstand harsh marine environments.
Fully compliant with the latest IEC 80005 shore power standards.
Up to 7,5 MVA
6,6 KV
-20 to +40
Different conditions optionally
50–60 Hz
Fully radio-controlled
ContainerLink options
Mobile
Connection cabinets are installed along the quay, and the mobile ContainerLink moves along the quay to provide a connection point flexibly to the required location. When no connection is taking place, no equipment remains on the quay edge, keeping the area clear and safe.
Chain
The ContainerLink Chain solution positions connection boxes behind the quay edge on a flexible cable chain, allowing full operational flexibility. When not in use, the system stays out of sight, keeping the quay clear and unobstructed.

FAQ about ContainerLink
Will ContainerLink interfere with STS (Ship-to-Shore) crane movement?
ContainerLink is designed specifically to operate within the “legs” of STS cranes or in the back-reach area. We offer low-profile mobile unites that can be positioned underneath crane portals, ensuring that gantry movements along the quay are never obstructed by the shore power system.
Can the system handle high-power loads, such as those from reefer containers?
ContainerLink is engineered for high-capacity loads, typically supporting 6.6 kV or 11 kV connections with power ratings up to 7.5 MVA. This provides sufficient power to operate the ship’s auxiliary systems and maintain temperature control for a full load of refrigerated containers. In most cases, the average container vessel requires significantly less power, making the system highly adaptable.
How is the connection cable managed between the vessel and the quay?
The cable is supplied from the vessel to the shore. In some cases, only a connection cabinet is required onshore. On the vessel side, the cable is managed from the shore power room, where it is stored on a cable reel and extended as needed to establish the connection with the shore system.
