The Port of Rotterdam is maintaining its initiatives for environmental sustainability.

The European Investment Bank (EIB) is providing a €90 million loan to the Port of Rotterdam Authority for installing shore power facilities at three deep-sea container terminals. This project, in partnership with Eneco, will involve constructing eight kilometers of quay with 35 connection points for container vessels. Additionally, it is eligible for a €70 million European Commission grant. Officials highlight the importance of shore power in reducing fossil fuel reliance, enhancing environmental quality, and promoting energy independence in Europe, with operations expected to begin in phases by late 2028.
