Sustainability through smarter port operations
The transition to low-emission shipping depends on more than clean electricity. It requires reliable infrastructure, intelligent software, and efficient operations. Shorly helps ports accelerate this transition by making shore power easier to deploy, operate, and optimize.
Our contribution – Enabling the transition to cleaner ports
Shorly supports ports and vessel operators in reducing emissions by delivering engineering, software, and operational services for shore power infrastructure.
Our solutions help ports:
- Increase the use of shore power
- Improve operational efficiency
- Monitor energy consumption in real time
- Document emissions reductions
- Simplify ESG and sustainability reporting
- Build future-ready digital infrastructure
From tailored infrastructure to real-time insights, we provide the technology that helps ports operate more sustainably.
Why shore power matters
International shipping is undergoing one of the largest transformations in its history.
Growing environmental regulations, stricter emissions targets, and increasing expectations from customers and society are accelerating the transition toward cleaner port operations. Shore power allows vessels to switch off auxiliary engines while at berth, significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions, air pollution, noise, and fuel consumption.
While the environmental benefits come from the electricity supplied by the local energy provider, Shorly ensures that ports have the infrastructure, software, and operational capabilities needed to make shore power work efficiently every day.
Sustainability you can measure
Meaningful sustainability requires more than good intentions—it requires reliable data. Shorly Core automatically collects operational information, tracks energy consumption, estimates emissions reductions, and generates sustainability reports that help ports measure performance, demonstrate environmental impact, and meet increasing regulatory requirements.
Measuring what matters
One of the biggest challenges in sustainability is documenting results. Shorly Core provides real-time data on energy consumption, vessel connections, operational performance, and estimated emissions reductions. This enables ports to make informed decisions while simplifying environmental reporting and ESG documentation. Reliable data creates better decisions—and better sustainability outcomes.
Supporting the UN Sustainable Development Goals
Shorly contributes to several of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals by helping ports transition towards cleaner and more efficient operations.
SDG 9 – Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
We develop intelligent digital infrastructure that enables ports to modernize critical energy systems while improving efficiency and reliability.
SDG 11 – Sustainable Cities and Communities
By supporting increased use of shore power, we help reduce local emissions, improve air quality, and create more sustainable port environments.
SDG 13 – Climate Action
Our engineering expertise, software platform, and operational services help accelerate the adoption of shore power and support the maritime industry’s transition toward lower greenhouse gas emissions.
