Ports & Harbours

A clearer path to port decarbonisation and infrastructure transition

Ports & Harbours

Marine Zero works with ports and harbour authorities to develop practical, data-led decarbonisation strategies that align infrastructure, vessel operations and long-term investment planning. 

Ports sit at the centre of the maritime energy transition. Decisions around shore power, charging infrastructure, alternative fuels, grid capacity and vessel compatibility must all be considered together. At the same time, ports are expected to make investment decisions with confidence while technology, regulation and operational requirements continue to evolve. 

As an independent, technology-agnostic maritime clean energy partner, we help ports assess options, develop infrastructure strategies and support delivery. Our focus is on reducing technical and investment risk while creating a clear foundation for future infrastructure decisions. 

How We Support You

Decarbonisation Strategy

Develop clear and achievable pathways to net zero that reflect vessel activity, operational requirements, growth plans and infrastructure priorities.

Infrastructure & Energy Planning

Assess feasibility, provide concept design, pre-FEED and FEED for shore power, charging and alternative fuel infrastructure in the context of real-world operational demand, vessel requirements and grid constraints.

Vessel Integration

Provide vessel-level engineering expertise to ensure infrastructure and vessel systems are compatible, including retrofit feasibility, onboard integration and operational considerations.

Product–market fit analysis

Identify where your technology delivers the highest commercial value – across vessel types, routes, operating profiles, and fuel ecosystems – ensuring focus on the most viable and scalable markets.

Regulatory and compliance alignment

Ensure alignment with evolving frameworks (IMO, FuelEU Maritime, NRMM, UK policy), reducing risk and supporting confident market entry and long-term viability.

Product–market fit analysis

Identify where your technology delivers the highest commercial value – across vessel types, routes, operating profiles, and fuel ecosystems – ensuring focus on the most viable and scalable markets.

Performance validation and benchmarking

Independently validate real-world performance across deployments and benchmark against alternative technologies, customer expectations, and contractual requirements.

Vessel Integration

Provide vessel-level engineering expertise to ensure infrastructure and vessel systems are compatible, including retrofit feasibility, onboard integration and operational considerations.

Delivery & Regulatory Support

Support projects through feasibility, deployment planning, stakeholder engagement and alignment with evolving regulatory requirements.

Digital Intelligence & Data

Establish the trusted data foundations needed to support modern port operations, performance validation and future digital initiatives.

Value proposition and technical positioning

Translate engineering capability into clear, commercially compelling positioning that resonates with operators, partners, and investors.

Establish the trusted data foundations needed to support modern port operations, performance validation and future digital initiatives.

Consulting and Products

Our consulting services and digital products work together to provide both strategic clarity and operational insight.

MAP helps identify where and how infrastructure investment should be prioritised.

CONNECT provides trusted visibility into operational and infrastructure performance.

Together they connect planning, engineering and operational intelligence throughout the transition journey.

MAP helps ports:

MAP provides a practical, data-driven foundation for infrastructure planning and long-term investment.

MAP – Maritime Analytics Platform

Infrastructure and energy planning for port and harbour decarbonisation

MAP is Marine Zero’s Maritime Analytics Platform for understanding how vessels, energy systems and infrastructure interact across real operating environments.

Using vessel movement data, energy modelling and scenario analysis

CONNECT – Trusted Digital Intelligence for Ports and Harbours

Infrastructure and energy planning for port and harbour decarbonisation

CONNECT is a secure maritime digital twin and performance intelligence platform that provides controlled visibility across infrastructure, vessels and energy systems without the need to develop and maintain internal data infrastructure.

Ports operate within complex stakeholder environments. Infrastructure owners, vessel operators, technology providers, regulators and investors often need access to the same operational information while maintaining clear ownership and access controls.

By creating a trusted shared view of operational performance, CONNECT helps improve transparency, support decision-making and build confidence across stakeholders.

Connecting Design to Operational Reality

Ports must balance long-term infrastructure investment with evolving technologies, operational requirements and vessel constraints.

Together, MAP, CONNECT and Marine Zero’s marine engineering expertise create a continuous link between infrastructure planning, vessel integration and operational performance.

This enables ports to:
