Ports and Terminals
We are a clean energy enabler helping Ports and Terminal Operators comply with regulations, to reduce emissions in local communities, and provide unique value to new and existing customers. We solve 90% of terminal’s Scope 3 emissions, directly impacting your sustainability goals.
Why transition to clean energy?
Port terminals sit at the nexus of the maritime industry’s net zero transition
Today, the shipping industry is undergoing a mass transformation to decarbonise, and ship electrification will play a fundamental role. Worldwide, there are almost 3,000 relevant ports and over 50,000 large merchant ships that need to decarbonise.
The global electric ship market – set to grow to $17.2 billion USD by 2032 – must be met with a network of electric port infrastructure, powered by clean energy.
By 2040, the maritime industry will consume up to 4PWh of clean energy every year – equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of the United States. An energy transition of this scale requires a dynamic combination of capital, cutting-edge technology and operational know-how.

NatPower Marine provides the solution
Using our strong financial backing to de-risk the maritime energy transition for Ports and Terminals
We are taking a radically different approach to address the challenge of shipping decarbonisation, by providing Port and Terminal Operators with the investment and technology to cater to electric ships of the future, without the risk.
We are your natural partner
We can create and manage future-proof charging and cold ironing infrastructure – all at our investment and risk.
NatPower Marine acts as your partner throughout the entire process – from proposals, financing a location development plan, to applying together for government funding, where available.
By offering the opportunity to buy out or lease your existing cold ironing infrastructure, we can release equity for you to invest in your core activities. We can manage and operate your existing infrastructure and bring it to the next level.
We guarantee the long-term efficiency and profitability of ports and terminals by giving hybrid vessel operators and special cargo operations (such as trade EV charging) access to shore power, onshore and at anchorage. We help ports and terminals meet the evolving decarbonisation requirement of new and existing customers, and the industry, all while reducing noise and air pollution in local communities.
Our Services
We develop shore-power to support the electrification of ships at berth, at anchor, and offshore.
Unrivalled insights
We collect 70% of global marine traffic data from 350k vessels in real time and map energy data for over 10,000 ports. This provides us with a unique view of the challenges and opportunities for our customers, giving them the confidence that we’re providing the right solution for their business.
Charging infrastructure for all verticals
From cold ironing that enables decarbonised at-port operations, to propulsion charging to enable your shipping line customers to go fully electric, we provide charging infrastructure for all vessel types to help your port remain competitive as the energy transition accelerates.
Access to affordable, reliable and renewable energy
We understand energy. Our team of clean energy and maritime specialists has over 25 years’ experience in clean power generation and distribution across 5 continents. This experience gives us a solid understanding of the required transformation in the power grid sector – and the paradigm shift towards the Internet of Energy. That enables us to generate and trade clean electricity at an affordable price, ensuring our port partners have access to affordable, reliable and renewable energy, always.
We are driving £3 billion of capital globally by 2030 to help 120 ports and 50 shipping lines transition their operations.
The maritime industry’s transition requires significant capital and a new business model. We have the expertise to deliver the infrastructure, generate and trade clean electricity, and offer competitive pricing to fleet operators to future-proof Ports and Terminals globally.
We understand the scale of the challenge facing Ports and Terminal Operators. As a global industry, it requires a global solution. That’s why we bring a global perspective to every challenge, using our worldwide network of energy assets and locally based teams to plot a worldwide course to clean, integrated operations.
Funding the transition
Decarbonising the shipping industry is expected to cost more than one trillion USD by 2050, with the vast majority required for land-based infrastructure. Electrification will play a fundamental role in the shipping industry’s decarbonisation journey, with studies showing almost half of the world’s container ship fleet could be cost-effectively electrified.
Ports and terminals powering ships of the future
By leveraging our strong financial backing, we remove the barriers to progress for ports and terminals – upfront investment and service adoption risk. We take this on, so Ports and Terminal Operators don’t have to.
Ports and terminals powering green logistics
Ports are the start and the end of marine green corridors. They are also the start and the end of land corridors as they influence a relevant, in some countries the majority, of logistic movements. NatPower has partnered to develop electric truck charging corridors, driving greener logistics end-to-end.
