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

在该项目中，多佛清洁渡轮动力（DCFP）联盟专注于开发创新解决方案，以加速在短海峡（多佛至加来和敦刻尔克）渡轮船队中采用（插电式）混合动力或全电动推进船，并有可能在适当的情况下扩展到邮轮和货运运营商。该项目以英国最繁忙的轮渡港口多佛港（PoD）为可行性案例，并在短期、中期和长期规划范围内，研究为多佛港海峡渡口提供电力的替代、可靠途径，最终致力于实现未来最短的欧洲渡口的独特能力和弹性，为国家可持续地提供电力。DCFP计划的合作伙伴将在七个月内合作，以确定现时及未来在码头营运的渡轮的电力需求。它将找到可行的、可持续的、最小化排放的途径，以满足岸上所需的需求，同时对港口及其渡轮的日常业务产生最小的影响。该项目将支持多佛港空气质量行动计划的实施，并为港口、运营商和客户实现净零排放。这最终将有助于实现英国“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\.
