ABSTRACT
OnShore Power Supply (OPS), i.e. "shore power" enables ships to receive electricity from the local grid. By using this alternative, pollution is reduced as the on-board diesel generator can be turned off. This technology has been used for many years, but is only now gaining recognition.
The article analyzes OPS. The theoretical part presents what this technology is and what is the con-struction of shore power devices. In the research part, a case study and SWOT analysis were used, which allowed to distinguish the strengths and weaknesses of the described technology.
