Wärtsilä Shore Power Training Solution is a hands‑on simulator designed to equip maritime professionals with the knowledge and practical skills required to safely operate high‑voltage shore power connections in line with global IEC standards.
As environmental regulations tighten and shore power adoption accelerates, ship operators and port authorities face increasing pressure to ensure safe, compliant, and efficient shore connection procedures. Wärtsilä’s Shore Power Training Solution provides a realistic, risk‑free learning environment where crews can master shore power operations with confidence.
The maritime industry is accelerating the adoption of shore power to reduce emissions while vessels are alongside. At the same time, shore power systems introduce high‑voltage interfaces, complex interlocks, and safety‑critical procedures that leave little room for error.
The Wärtsilä Shore Power Training Solution enables crews to practise connection, operation, and disconnection procedures, including abnormal and hazardous situations, in a controlled environment, helping operators strengthen safety culture and regulatory compliance without putting personnel or assets at risk.
Originally developed for Carnival Corporation's CSMART training centre, the solution is based on real-world shore power training requirements and is now available to support operators, ports, and training organisations across the maritime industry.
The Shore Power Training Solution delivers practical, repeatable training that builds real operational competence.
It supports:
The simulator reproduces the full operational landscape of ship‑to‑shore power connections using advanced software models.
Trainees can practise procedures that would otherwise carry significant operational and safety risk, including:
This approach ensures trainees develop a deep, practical understanding of both system logic and human–machine interaction in safety‑critical operations.
The Wärtsilä Shore Power Training Solution is suited for:
To further enhance realism, the solution can be delivered with certified, true‑to‑life hardware components that replicate actual shore power equipment.
Available hardware elements include:
Integrated safeties act as single‑point failures, blocking the shore power sequence if safety mechanisms are not correctly set. This reinforces correct procedures and highlights the consequences of unsafe actions in a controlled learning environment.
The Shore Power Training Solution is available as:
The system can be integrated as:
Wärtsilä Shore Power Training Solution provides a safe and effective way to prepare crews for the growing use of high‑voltage shore power systems.
Whether you are introducing shore power for the first time or strengthening existing procedures, Wärtsilä can tailor the solution to your operational and training needs.
