For terminals that lack the critical mass of vessels needed to justify a multi-million dollar fixed installation, or those that are not prioritized for grid upgrades, Flux Lines offers a total replacement. We provide the same high-voltage connection without any land-side infrastructure, allowing for a truly zero-CAPEX shore power connection for the operator.

Large container terminals often face a peak demand problem where fixed infrastructure is only fully utilized at the busiest time of the year. Flux Lines allows terminals to size their fixed installations for 70-80% of their berth capacity, while our barges power the vessels that can’t be handled by the fixed installations during busy periods. This significantly lowers the investment required for each terminal while guaranteeing shore power availability for every ship.

Cruise terminals often have high-capacity electrical connections that sit idle overnight while ships are at sea. Flux Lines utilizes this existing, underutilized capacity to charge its barges during off-peak hours when electricity is cheapest and most abundant. This energy is then used to power ships at cargo terminals during the day, effectively using a single fixed connection as the hub to provide shore power across the entire port.

Most ports don’t fit into a single category but are a mix of different operations. Because our barge designs are standardized and versatile, the same asset can provide a peak-shaving service to a major container terminal one day and support a multipurpose berth the next, charging either at a dedicated energy hub or a cruise terminal, adapting to the operational needs of the port.
