Cavotec has signed an order from Mohan Mutha Group to supply shore power systems in the Maldives, in what will be the country’s first installation of the technology.
The systems will allow vessels to plug into electrical power while at berth, eliminating local emissions from auxiliary engines, reducing greenhouse gases and extending the operational life of onboard machinery.
The order includes five Power Run and Power Feed units, with delivery scheduled for the first quarter of 2026.
“This order is an important milestone both for the Maldives and for Cavotec,” said David Pagels, CEO of Cavotec.
“It demonstrates the growing global commitment to port electrification and positions Cavotec at the forefront of enabling this transition. We are proud to support the Maldives in taking this step toward cleaner and more sustainable port operations.”
Shore power has become increasingly common in European ports. But outside Europe, adoption has been slower, with projects announced on a case-by-case basis.
Cavotec said the Maldivian project serves as a significant regional reference and could create opportunities in neighbouring island nations and South Asia
