Supporting ports in achieving „green port“ initiatives, TET ESTEL marine frequency converters are an ideal scalable solution for reducing noise, vibration, and air pollution in the port area.
Shipowners will benefit from using our marine products not only by cutting down on fuel and CO2 allowance costs, but also by providing optimal solutions with competitive pricing and reliable delivery times.
FCM Series
Cold ironing (Onshore Power Supply — OPS, Alternative Maritime Power — AMP) is the practice of connecting a vessel at berth to the shore electrical grid, allowing it to shut down its diesel auxiliary engines. This eliminates exhaust emissions, noise, and vibration within the port area.
EU Regulation 2023/1804 requires major European ports to provide OPS infrastructure for container ships, passenger vessels, and offshore service ships from 2030 onward. TET ESTEL FCM Series converters are purpose-built for this application — handling 50 Hz ↔ 60 Hz conversion and voltage adaptation from 0.4 kV to 11 kV with output up to 16,000 kVA.
The FCM Series is built on power semiconductor devices manufactured to TET ESTEL's own specifications, ensuring long service life and consistent output quality.
FCM Series converters are deployed at container terminals, cruise ship berths, ferry quays, naval bases, and shipyard dry-docks. Units are available as fixed quayside cabinets, infrastructure-integrated installations, or containerized plug-and-play modules for fast deployment at any berth.
All systems comply with IEC/ISO/IEEE 80005-1 (high voltage shore connection), operate at efficiency above 97%, and are rated for ambient temperatures from –40°C to +40°C with protection up to IP65.
TET ESTEL service engineers provide on-site commissioning, operator training, and start-up support for every FCM installation. Long-term after-sales service and equipment retrofit are available for both TET ESTEL systems and third-party OPS equipment.
