In August 2023, the Andalusian company Ghenova Ingeniería was selected to develop the technical support for the OnShore Power Supply (OPS) programme in the Port of Algeciras. This programme aims to provide electricity to ships from the shore network while they are moored, reducing emissions, noise and vibrations. The project covers the Isla Verde Interior, Príncipe Felipe and the first section of Dique Norte berths. Ghenova Ingeniería will be responsible for carrying out the feasibility study, developing the projects and technical specifications, and preparing the tender documentation for the implementation of these installations. The value of the technical support contract is 85,800 euros. The project is financed by the European Union through the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan (NextGenerationEU). The client of the project is the Bahia Algeciras Port Authority (APBA). The implementation of the project will significantly improve the environmental situation in the port, in line with the decarbonization and sustainable development strategy adopted by APBA.

This work shows that the association’s participants have experience in implementing similar initiatives, which is currently the main focus in the restoration of Ukraine.
