Cold ironing is emerging as a powerful tool for reducing emissions in shipping, helping vessels cut pollution while alongside and accelerating the shift towards cleaner port operations.

NatPower Marine, a NatPower Group company enabling the energy transition in the maritime sector, has signed a strategic agreement to acquire the Aqua superPower international charging network from ATV Power, a provider of marine electrification technologies and charging infrastructure.

At Assiterminal’s 25th anniversary in Rome, NatPower Marine outlined a clear industry shift: from deploying shore power assets to delivering fully integrated, operational energy systems.

Limited charging capacity and grid access are creating a major barrier to ferry electrification across European ports. NatPower Marine is calling for greater investment in charging infrastructure.
