Cavotec has signed a contract worth USD 8.02 million (EUR 7 million) with an unnamed global container shipping company to retrofit its vessels with shore power capability. The order, placed in the second quarter of 2026, covers the installation of low- and medium-voltage shore power systems on container ships. Deliveries are scheduled to be completed by the end of this year.

The company states that the retrofits will be performed without taking the ships out of service, allowing them to continue operating during the work. The customer has selected Cavotec to equip a total of 24 container vessels with shore power across 2025 and 2026, with this order representing the latest installment. Cavotec's PowerFit system, a containerized cable management unit mounted on the ship, will be used for the installations.
