igus® Mobile Shore Power Outlet (iMSPO) with energy chains for long travels

How do you plan the shore power connection for the ships of tomorrow using today's information? Changing shipping alliances, increasing ship sizes and structural restrictions make it impossible to develop a permanent solution with stationary shore power connections.

System:

The self-propelled iMSPO socket can be positioned anywhere on the berth
Installation of the iMSPO on the quay above the fender system
igus® Roller e-chain® technology enables long travel distances with heavy cable packages and thus the coverage of a complete berth
All processes are controlled via a control element

Developed in accordance with IEC 80005-1, Annex D - 6.6kV, 7.5MVA
Design in accordance with EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC
Corrosion protection class corresponds to C5-M
Protection class IP67 applies to electrical components

Why iMSPO?

Cost savings

Fewer structural measures and installation costs thanks to a single movable socket outlet instead of many permanently installed ones
Reduced investment in equipment such as fixed cabling, sockets and medium-voltage equipment
Reduction in maintenance costs
One-off investment: equipped for the future with a mobile solution
Proven technology, longer service life, cost-effective

Operational advantages

Connection of all ships regardless of size and mooring position
During positioning and power supply, the quay is free of any equipment and thus sources of danger
The connectors coming from the ship are connected directly and easily
Safety thanks to integrated locking system
Proven technology, longer service life, cost-effective
Reduces connection effort while increasing work safety at the same time
