New loading station for inland vessels in the Port of Moerdijk
The Port of Moerdijk, Combined Cargo Terminals (CCT), and Zero Emission Services (ZES) have signed a partnership agreement for the construction of a new loading station for inland vessels in the Port of Moerdijk. The station at CCT Moerdijk will be the fifth in the national ZES network and marks a significant step in making inland shipping more sustainable.
With the new charging station at CCT Moerdijk, the Port of Moerdijk confirms its role as a pioneer in the energy transition and as a key link in the sustainability of inland shipping. ZES uses 100% green energy and has no CO2, particulate matter, or nitrogen emissions. Moreover, sailing with ZES is much quieter than sailing on diesel.
Collaboration at the Port of Moerdijk
The charging station in Moerdijk will be built on a site owned by the port authority, directly adjacent to the CCT Moerdijk terminal. The collaboration between the three parties emphasizes the importance of supply chain collaboration for system change in logistics.
- CCT will handle the exchange of the ZESpacks with its crane.
- CCT and ZES share the electricity grid connection for charging the battery containers.
The station can accommodate two ZESpacks of 2.9 MWh each, which can be fully charged in just three hours.
