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.

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:
- Forecast future energy demand
- Assess infrastructure requirements
- Evaluate grid and integration constraints
- Compare decarbonisation pathways and technology options
- Support investment decisions, business cases and funding applications
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.

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.
CONNECT enables ports and harbours to:
- Validate energy usage and operational performance
- Provide trusted and auditable information to stakeholders and funders
- Identify inefficiencies and opportunities for improvement
- Support pilot projects and scale successful deployments
- Enable secure multi-stakeholder access without loss of control
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:
- Design infrastructure around realistic operational requirements
- Validate compatibility between vessels and port systems
- Reduce risk across retrofit and newbuild projects
- Adapt strategies as technologies and markets evolve
- Improve performance across infrastructure and vessel systems
- Design infrastructure around realistic operational requirements
- Validate compatibility between vessels and port systems
- Reduce risk across retrofit and newbuild projects
- Adapt strategies as technologies and markets evolve
- Improve performance across infrastructure and vessel systems
