After several months of work, a new shore power system was recently installed in section 73 of the Port of Montreal specifically for the Juno Marie. The small oil tanker supplies boats that use the port’s terminals with fuel oil. This new shore power system will allow the Juno Marie to remain connected to electricity at all times when it is not refueling other ships.
The installed system (600 V/200 A) is similar to other services intended for wintering ships at the Port of Montreal, which brings the number of connections available on our docks to 42. This initiative is part of the APM’s objective to install more electrical systems for ships and accelerate the energy transition, on the way to a more sustainable future to achieve carbon neutrality in 2035.
