Flinders Port Holdings electrification initatives

Supported by a $70 million in direct finance from the Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CPFC), Flinders Port Holders (FPH) will pursue electrification initiatives across FPH’s seven South Australian ports. Projects include transitioning from hybrid straddle carriers to an electric Automated Rubber Tyre Gantry at its Flinders Adelaide Container Terminal, in what would be a significant change to the way it moves containers, and an Australian first. Other measures include the replacement of internal combustion engine light vehicles and vessels with electric and hybrid alternatives, and installation of solar PV to reduce power consumption across the energy intensive sites. In addition, FPH will investigate the potential of cleaner shore-based power by connecting berthed ships to the grid to replace diesel bunker fuel.
