A high-voltage shore connection (HVSC) is an electrical connection between a ship and an electric grid
An electrical grid (or electricity network) is an interconnected network for electricity delivery from producers to consumers. Electrical grids consist of power stations, electrical substations to step voltage up or down, electric power tran ...
at a voltage level between 1 kV AC to 15 kV AC.
Using shore power allows the ship to shut off its engines and reduce fuel consumption and carbon emissions
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from human activities intensify the greenhouse effect. This contributes to climate change. Carbon dioxide (), from burning fossil fuels such as coal, petroleum, oil, and natural gas, is the main cause of climate chan ...

cruise ships
Cruise ships are large passenger ships used mainly for vacationing. Unlike ocean liners, which are used for transport, cruise ships typically embark on round-trip voyages to various ports of call, where passengers may go on tours known as " ...
which dock for longer time and hence save energy.
Power connections from ship to shore, whereby the power is generated on the ship and transmitted to land is realized with powerships.
