ELECTRA represents an estimated $3m in total support from Transport Canada, the Province of British Columbia, and the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority, with additional funding from BC Hydro’s EV Fleet Program. Delivered by the turnkey fleet electrification partner 7Gen, the pilot phase currently involves five trucking companies: Aheer Transportation Ltd., Lally Bros. Holding Ltd., Simard Westlink Inc., TransBC Freight Ltd., and West Coast Freight Ltd. Four battery electric trucks are already operating at the port, and two more are expected to be deployed later this year.

Participating companies receive at least one battery electric truck, charging infrastructure, maintenance support, technological and engineering design assistance, driver training, and operational support. They also gain access to a software platform that centralizes vehicle, charger, and utility data on a single dashboard. 7Gen oversaw the deployment of the vehicles and infrastructure at company depots following planning and site assessments with BC Hydro to ensure sufficient electricity supply.

Fully operational since early 2026, the facility includes 1,000 m² dedicated to operational zones structured into mechanical, E&I, fabrication, office, and welfare areas. The workshop enables local maintenance, repair, overhaul, and inspection of critical industrial equipment—such as pumps, compressors, and valves—in full compliance with international safety and quality standards. Additionally, the site offers inspection, calibration, certification activities, and precision manufacturing, including machining, drilling, turning, and milling operations.

The completion of this project reflects over five years of development, backed by the VINCI Energies Group’s financial and human resources alongside the Maintenance Centre of Excellence teams. Construction began over a year ago, mobilizing more than 20,000 working hours with a peak workforce of 50 personnel, numerous suppliers, and subcontractors. Aligning with Actemium’s strict QHSE standards, the entire construction phase was completed with zero accidents.

The E-Tanker is a multi-component solution consisting of a mobile lithium-ion battery charging unit, high-energy battery blocks, and a charging station. The entire setup is managed by the company’s intelligent Fleet Management System (FMS), which provides real-time visibility into yard operations, including battery state of charge, job assignments, and charging schedules to maximize terminal efficiency.

Housed in a standard 40-foot container and transported by terminal tractors, a single E-Tanker unit integrates into existing operations and can serve multiple pieces of yard equipment. The system’s compact battery blocks easily adapt to existing cranes, offering a scalable pathway for terminal operators to reduce diesel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.

The deployment operates within the Europa Terminal modernization initiative under Project Emerald by PSA Antwerp and the Port of Antwerp-Bruges. The terminal faces specific hybrid operational demands as various sections are periodically taken offline for reconfiguration. To address these complexities, the system provides real-time optimization of yard movements and equipment scheduling, minimizing unproductive assets, reducing idle times, and integrating Automated Stacking Cranes, which were first introduced to the terminal in summer 2024.

The phased rollout began with Straddle Carrier and Automated Stacking Crane optimization, utilizing a control room interface that provides operational transparency and management by exception. The next stage of development includes the integration of Dual Hoist Quay Cranes following their full commissioning later in 2026.

Under the agreement, Kempower’s high-power charging systems will be installed at various terminals throughout APM Terminals’ global network over the next three years. The collaboration has already commenced with three pilot projects at APM Terminals Yucatán in Mexico, TM2 in Morocco, and Callao in Peru to accommodate the introduction of the first electric vehicles. The infrastructure is designed to provide a consistent, scalable, and reliable charging solution to optimize port operations and keep the electric fleets moving.

The signed three-year framework agreement does not include binding order volumes. Instead, APM Terminals will place individual orders with Kempower in accordance with its specific investment plans and terminal requirements.

These ports serve as essential lifelines for the Isle of Islay and the inner Hebrides. The implementation of ShoreLink’s shore power solutions will significantly reduce emissions and noise pollution in these areas. The project directly supports CMAL in modernizing its fleet as Scotland moves toward Net Zero, ensuring a cleaner future for the Highlands and Islands.

The financing will fund technology-enabled infrastructure upgrades at the Manila International Container Terminal (MICT), the South Luzon Container Terminal (SLCT) under development in Batangas, and the Mindanao Container Terminal (MCT). Additionally, the capital will support the purchase of fully electric quay cranes and the replacement of diesel-powered yard equipment. These acquisitions are specifically intended to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from daily terminal operations.

Through these investments, the project will increase MICT’s capacity to 3.7m TEUs by 2027. Furthermore, the capacity of MCT will reach approximately 1m TEUs by 2028, and SLCT will achieve a capacity of 800,000 TEUs by the same year.

The application features an AI-based spare parts identification tool that allows users to recognize components via photo recognition, QR code scanning, item number entry, or text search in more than 100 languages. This setup enables quick identification even when nameplates are damaged or missing, and results can be cross-checked with the official Liebherr parts catalogue before ordering. Additionally, an “expert check” feature allows users to submit a verification request directly to a Liebherr service partner via a service ticket if operational certainty is required.

Complementing its identification features, the application assists maintenance teams by listing actual machine operating hours alongside service kits for upcoming regular maintenance intervals. These customizable lists include required spare parts, service materials, and consumables, which can be ordered through a pre-populated shopping basket.

The predictive system utilizes vibration sensors installed on critical rotating components, such as hoist and trolley motors, gearboxes, and bearings, which are essential for yard crane availability. Operating data is collected and transmitted to Konecranes for analysis, with findings and exception reporting delivered to customers through the yourKONECRANES portal. This allows maintenance teams to execute targeted interventions, prevent extended downtime, and plan spare parts requirements more effectively.

The final findings have been consolidated into a comprehensive, publicly available report by the Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping and project partners to provide practical guidance for global ports and industry stakeholders preparing for alternative fuels.

A key outcome of the project is the validation of the Port of Rotterdam’s safety framework for ammonia alongside the International Association of Ports and Harbours’ (IAPH) Port Readiness Tool. According to Bo Cerup-Simonsen, CEO of the Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping, the project delivers practical learnings, validation sheets, and recommendations that can inform future global permitting and regulatory processes. Boudewijn Siemons, CEO of the Port of Rotterdam, noted that this pilot represents an important step in developing a complete value chain for alternative fuels, showing that innovation, safety, and scalability can go hand in hand.

The MAGPIE (sMArt Green Ports as Integrated Efficient multimodal hubs) project is a European initiative focused on developing, testing, and demonstrating solutions for sustainable and smart port logistics. By openly sharing these results, the involved partners aim to support the decarbonisation of port-related transport and accelerate the safe adoption of ammonia as a low-carbon marine fuel worldwide.
