TRANSPORT & INFRASTRUCTURE PRESS RELEASE
[London, UK, 7 April 2025 ] — As governments and regulators meet for MEPC 83 at the IMO, NatPower Marine is urging decision-makers to acknowledge a simple truth: the infrastructure needed to decarbonise shipping isn’t coming; it’s already here.
We’re developing a global network of 120 Green Shipping Corridors, connecting ports with end-to-end e-charging infrastructure for shore power and electric propulsion. It’s a privately funded, commercially viable rollout and it’s already underway.
This is not a concept. It’s live infrastructure, operating at berth, at anchor and at sea, in collaboration with ports and shipping lines across multiple regions.
“Electrification has moved beyond ambition. It’s now about scale,” says Stefano D.M. Sommadossi, NatPower Marine’s CEO. “The ports and shipping lines we work with aren’t waiting for regulation; they’re acting now because it makes economic and operational sense.”
The infrastructure we’re deploying is designed to be smart, scalable and efficient. Our green corridors include charging systems backed by digital tools, including energy modelling and digital twins. These help shipping lines forecast energy use, optimise operations and cut costs.
We’re not just building new systems. We’re also stepping in to manage and optimise underused infrastructure. Too many port electrification projects have stalled due to a lack of operational know-how. We will bring the investment, technology and management expertise to ensure the system works and continues to work.
“It is proven that shore power and electric propulsion can be delivered today,” says Sommadossi. “Now we need regulation that keeps up with what the industry is already doing.”
The message is clear. The market is moving. Investment is committed. If policy can align with this momentum, we can scale faster, reduce emissions more quickly and support ports and shipping lines across the world in meeting their net zero targets.
