Wärtsilä Charging – Marine vessel charging systems

The IEC 80005 standardized AMP system can be used for charging if the port stay is long enough, such as for RoPax or RoRo vessels. Tailored charging solutions have the advantage of fast connection times, typically below 1 minute. This makes it possible for ferries to charge their battery during their short turnarounds. The cable handling system is the most visible part of the charging solution, but the electrical engineering happens between the grid and the cable handling system to convert the medium voltage grid into the power needed for the vessel. The advantage of tailored charging solutions is the fast connection time which is typically below 1 minute to allow charging for e.g. ferries at short turnarounds.
