We have obtained information by Huatai Insurance Agency & Consultant Service Ltd. on the requirements for the use of shore power in Chinese ports.

Major ports in China is now equipped with shore power service facilities; in order to promote the wider application of shore power, the Chinese government and relevant institutions are implementing a series of policies to encourage ports and the shipping industry to adopt the shore power technology. The local MSA will impose penalties on ships that are equipped with onboard devices for the use of shore power if they fail to use shore power as required when berthing at berths with shore power supply capabilities. For details, please find attached their circular.
