Cavotec to deliver the Maldives’ first shore power system
Cavotec has signed an order from Mohan Mutha Group to supply shore power systems in the Maldives. This is the first shore power installation in the Maldives and marks an important step in the country’s efforts to reduce carbon emissions in its ports. It also serves as a significant reference in the region, creating opportunities for further projects in neighbouring island nations and South Asia.
The systems will enable vessels calling at the port to connect to electrical power while berthed, eliminating berth emissions and reducing the use of auxiliary engines. This cuts local air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions and extends the operational lifespan of vessel engines.
The order includes five Power Run and Power Feed systems, with deliveries scheduled for the first quarter of 2026.
“This order is an important milestone both for the Maldives and for Cavotec.”, says David Pagels, CEO of Cavotec. “It demonstrates the growing global commitment to port electrification and positions Cavotec at the forefront of enabling this transition. We are proud to support the Maldives in taking this step toward cleaner and more sustainable port operations.”
