Nhava Sheva Terminals Go Green with DP World's 11 MW Renewable Energy Initiative

NSICT and NSIGT are powered by electricity produced remotely by DP World that is integrated into the state grid.

Open access sourcing of green power has been implemented at DP World, an end-to-end supply chain solutions provider, at two Nhava Sheva terminals, Nhava Sheva India Gateway Terminal (NSIGT) and Nhava Sheva International Container Terminal (NSICT).

With a total capacity of 11 MW, the open-access sourcing of the green power program is anticipated to replace about 80% of NSIGT's and NSICT's conventional energy consumption. This will result in a 50% decrease in CO2 emissions, according to a statement from the company.

It was mentioned that NSICT and NSIGT are powered by remotely generated electricity that is integrated into the state grid.

At DP World's Nhava Sheva terminals, the use of open access sourcing for green power is a crucial step in reaching our sustainability objectives. The COO of Ports & Terminals, Operations and Commercial, DP World, Subcontinent, Middle East and North Africa, Ravinder Johal, said, "This exemplifies our commitment to environmentally compatible designs and resilient infrastructure."

In keeping with the government's Maritime India Vision 2030, the corporation is drastically lowering its carbon impact by incorporating green energy.

"To minimize our influence on the harbor ecology, we follow the 'Working with Nature' philosophy, maximize the use of clean energy, and electrify our equipment under best practices and the Green Port Guidelines. This accomplishment not only demonstrates our commitment to creative and sustainable solutions and promotes sustainable port operations, but it also sets the standard for future advancements, according to Johal.

DP World is already switching over its fleet of diesel-powered equipment to electric power at all of its terminals in India. At the international container transshipment terminal (ICTT) in Cochin, Kerala, it has electrified 15 RTGs and put four rubber-tired gantry cranes (RTGs) into service.

Additionally, the business expanded the Mundra International Container Terminal (MICT) in Gujarat and the ICTT in Cochin by adding two electric quay cranes. Three electric rail-mounted gantries for NSICT were also introduced. The current fleet of RTGs will soon be fully electrified, which will drastically lower the carbon footprint of cargo passing through the terminals and provide customers with a sustainable supply chain advantage.
