Australia\u2019s first shore-powered cruise terminal has moved a step closer to operation, with installation of the project\u2019s Onshore Power Supply (OPS) system marking one of the most complex engineering milestones completed to date.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The two-storey OPS structure is the electrical heart of the shore power system, converting 33,000 volts of electricity from the local grid to a compatible voltage and frequency for cruise ships visiting White Bay Cruise Terminal.<\/p>\n

A shore power connection allows cruise vessels to switch off their onboard diesel engines while in port \u2013 cutting carbon emissions by more than 4,000 tonnes a year, equivalent to removing around 1,100 vehicles from NSW roads annually.<\/p>\n

Port Authority of NSW CEO John McKenna said the OPS installation highlighted the scale and complexity of the Australian-first project.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe OPS is the powerhouse of the entire shore power system at White Bay, with the 10 shipping containers housing an intricate network of transformers, converters and switchgear to provide the electricity needed for visiting cruise ships,\u201d McKenna said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith that now installed, our teams are focused on securing power to the site from Rozelle and completing the complex underground electrical cabling, seawater cooling system and the wharf-side Cable Management System (CMS), which is necessary to bring shore power direct to the cruise ship.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis project represents a significant step forward in reducing emissions from the cruise sector, and demonstrates how investment in innovative, sustainable port infrastructure can deliver long-term environmental benefits.\u201d<\/p>\n

Port Authority of NSW project director Fauzan Zulkhepli said the project was breaking new ground in Australia and the Southern Hemisphere.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis project has required significant engineering coordination, making it one of the most technically complex harbour-side infrastructure projects currently being built in NSW,\u201d Zulkhepli said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt combines high-voltage electrical infrastructure, underground cabling and piping, purpose-built wharf equipment, and an innovative seawater cooling system designed to cool the powerful electrical OPS system.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe unique cooling system draws water from Sydney Harbour and circulates it through heat exchangers to regulate temperatures within the OPS, removing the need for traditional large-scale mechanical cooling systems \u2013 helping to cut energy consumption and noise.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the first time a seawater cooling system has been installed at an operational port in Sydney, inspired by the Sydney Opera House\u2019s own seawater cooling system, installed during the building\u2019s construction.\u201d<\/p>\n

Construction is expected to be completed by the end of 2026, with cruise ships set to begin testing and connecting to shore power during the 2026-27 summer cruise season.<\/p>\n
