Dover Clean Ferry Power (DCFP): Techno-Economic Feasibility Analysis of Electric Power Solutions for Port of Dover Ferries

在该项目中，多佛清洁渡轮电力（DCFP）财团专注于开发创新解决方案，以加速短海峡（多佛至加莱和敦刻尔克）渡轮船队采用（插电式）混合动力或全电动推进船舶，并有可能在适当情况下扩展到邮轮和货运运营商。该项目以英国最繁忙的渡轮港口多佛港（PoD）为可行性案例，并在短期、中期和长期规划范围内调查为PoD的海峡渡口渡轮提供电力的替代可靠途径，最终致力于实现一个未来，在这个未来，通往欧洲的最短通道的独特能力和弹性可以可持续地为国家提供。项目合作伙伴将在七个月内合作，以确定在PoD运营的渡轮的当前和未来电力需求。该项目将为所需需求的岸上供应找到可行的、可持续的排放最小化途径，同时对港口及其渡轮的日常业务影响最小。该项目将支持多佛港空气质量行动计划的交付，以及港口、运营商和客户的净零交付。这将最终有助于实现英国“清洁海事计划”的零排放航运目标，该计划设想英国到2050年成为清洁航运的全球领导者。

In this project, the Dover Clean Ferry Power (DCFP) consortium focuses on the development of innovative solutions to accelerate the adoption of (plug in) hybrid or fully electric propulsion vessels in the Short Straits (Dover to Calais and Dunkirk) ferry fleet, with the potential to extend to cruise and cargo operators if appropriate. The project takes the Port of Dover (PoD), the busiest ferry port in the UK, as its feasibility case and investigates alternative, reliable pathways for the provision of electricity for Channel crossing ferries at the PoD over short, medium and long-term planning horizons, ultimately working towards a future where the unique capacity and resilience of the shortest crossing to Europe can be sustainably delivered for the nation.The DCFP project partners will collaborate over seven months to identify the current and future electrical power demands of the ferries operating at the PoD. It will find viable, sustainable emissions-minimising pathways for the on-shore supply of the required demand, with minimum impact on the daily business of the port and its ferries.This project will support the delivery of the Port of Dover Air Quality Action Plan as well as Net Zero delivery for the port, operators and customers. This will ultimately help meet the zero emissions shipping ambitions of UK's 'Clean Maritime Plan', envisaging the UK as a global leader in clean shipping by 2050\.
