The cable is used to supply vessels anchored at a port with power from shore-side facilities.

LS Cable & System has launched cables capable of supplying shore-side electricity to vessels with the hope of replacing the conventional ways of power supply that results in air pollution.
The firm hopes this will replace the conventional way of generating power, which is made during the operation of the engine using bunker C oil as fuel. During this process, air pollutants such as fine dust and sulfur oxides are emitted.
LS Cable & System expects the cable market to grow in the wake of the passage of a bill last week that compels the installation of shore-side facilities for power supply. The bill is expected to contribute to the improvement of air quality significantly.
