SIST EN 15869-3:2010

While underway, continuous electrical power supply is provided by the onboard system from generators driven by diesel engines.
When the vessel is berthed, these generators have to remain in operation if there is no suitable onshore power supply available.
In some cases, this leads to intense noise pollution both for the crew on the vessel itself and on other vessels lying alongside and also for residents ashore.
The exhaust fumes are an additional pollution factor. The electrical shore connections specified in this standard make it possible to provide the vessels with an electrical power supply while berthed and to eliminate noise and exhaust pollution.
This calls for a uniform Europe-wide connection that can be activated and deactivated by the vessel's crew in all ports and berths, if possible, without requiring any assistance from shore-based personnel.
This standard contains electrical safety requirements for the prevention of hazards in making, using and breaking the shore connection. Furthermore, cashless settlement for the electricity used shall be possible, ideally a standard Europe-wide payment system. Electrical shore connections with a permissible current of over 63 A as used for passenger ships with a hotelling function are not covered by this standard. SIST EN 15869-3:2010
