The SSE-ID Card of Ships in the Sustainable Maritime Framework

Abstract

Nowadays, the worldwide implementation of shore-to-ship connection paradigm is hindered by the large variability of requirements on the ships to be powered. In order to solve this issue, a standardized form must be conceived for defining all the characteristics. The paper wants to presents the shore-side electricity (SSE) related information as encoded in an electronically registered ID card (the SSE-ID) of all the ships subjected to cold ironing obligation. As finalized in the IEEE 45.1, the format of SSE-ID is anticipated to facilitate the SSE-connectivity procedures in all the equipped ports.
