First Order Received For Revolutionary NG2 PLUG Shore Power Solution

PLUG To Equip Color Magic RoPax and Oslo Port Terminal

New Generation Natural Gas (NG2), a startup company proposing innovative solutions to improve the shipping industry economical and environmental performance is has been awarded a contract to equip with its PLUG ( acronym “for Power Generation during Loading & Unloading”) shore power technology Color Line Color Magic RoPax.

Based on a unique concept of self mating /de mating connector, PLUG makes shore power connection a press button operations, bringing superior advantages in terms of:

- speed of operation (and hence reduction of on board generator sets use…),

- safety : no direct handling of high voltage connector and cables,

- compactness (no impact on ship side payload volume, negligible quayside footprint),

- Capital and Operational expenses: simplified installation, no manpower required…

- Versatility : a single PLUG Unit can provide up to 11 000 Volts / 700 Amps power exchange capability

For this application, PLUG will provide both the ship side and quay side high voltage (11 000 V) connection interfaces with a power exchange capability of more than 4 MVA.

To cope with Oslo port winter conditions, specific technical solutions have been implemented, such as a thermally insulated and heated storage of the quay side high voltage connector to avoid any exposure to ice/snow build up. All operations will be performed by a single crew member who will control from the ship side the whole PLUG system.
