We do the heavy work, quietly
Accelerating port electrification and delivering reliable onshore power solutions at scale.
People behind reliable port electrification
We design, build and operate large-scale shore power installations for cruise ships, ferries, offshore vessels and other maritime operations. Our systems are engineered for demanding port environments where precision, grid integration, safety and long-term reliability are essential. Together with port authorities, vessel operators and energy partners, we take responsibility from feasibility to installation and operation, making shore power a dependable part of critical infrastructure.
Electrification is central to the transition toward a zero-emission society. Through flexible, renewable shore power solutions, we help ports cut emissions while maintaining operational continuity. This commitment to responsible infrastructure, strong partnerships and measurable impact guides every project we deliver.
The sound of a sustainable port is silence
Plug emerged from a clear need many major ports around the world requires reliable shore power infrastructure to support vessels transitioning away from diesel. Following the rebranding from Bergen Landstrøm to Plug in 2019, we expanded beyond Bergen, launching new projects in Ålesund, Nordfjordeid and other key locations. Today, our portfolio spans major ports and continues to grow, with both operational facilities and new projects under development.

Quietly powerful
We develop, build and operate shore power systems that enable ports and vessels to reduce emissions without compromising operational performance.
Developing industrial scale shore power
We design and implement both low- and high-voltage shore power systems specifically for modern cruise ships, ferries, and offshore vessels.
Operating critical infrastructure
Plug takes long-term responsibility for the operation and maintenance of shore power facilities, ensuring safety, uptime, and consistent performance.
Partnering with ports and shipowners
We work closely with port authorities, municipalities and maritime stakeholders to accelerate electrification and support sustainable port operations.
Expanding regional capacity
Our network is expanding throughout Norway and Europe, enhancing shore power capacity in vital maritime hubs.
Digital oversight with Plug Insight
Plug Insight provides operational transparency and performance data, helping ports and customers manage energy use, reporting and efficiency.
Supporting maritime charging where relevant
While our core focus is shore power, we also contribute to selected maritime charging initiatives that support the broader electrification of vessels.
