PORTS, MARINAS, SHIPYARDS & VESSELS

As we are living in an important period regarding the ecological transition, the power supply of ships is a key issue. It is important to choose a sustainable solution. Another problem is that ship owners, most of whom have no electrical qualifications, must wire, connect, and disconnect socket outlets. These connectors can deliver relatively high currents in a demanding environment subject to humidity, corrosion, all in a public space. 

The choice of durable and safe socket outlets ensures that harbours operate smoothly.

APPLICATIONS FOR MARINAS


1/ Power supply for boats

Boats need to be supplied with electricity: but which power to choose to connect which boat?

BOAT SIZE

CURRENT (A)

Up to 15 m

16 A

15 to 20 m

32 A BI-VOLTAGE*

20 to 25 m

63 A BI-VOLTAGE*

25 to 40 m

150 A

40 to 55 m

250 A

55 to 70 m

400 A

70 to 80 m

600 A

80 to 110 m

1000 A

110 to 150 m

2000 A

2/ Power supply for floating pontoons

As some floating pontoons can be wintered or moved, they need to be easily disconnected from the various electrical networks by means of a waterproof connector. 

3/ Events

Marinas are a tourist gateway for the city. Events are therefore frequently held there. To power the equipment needed for these events, dedicated power outlets are required. For example, yacht festivals, boat shows, concerts or other fairs often take place in marinas.   

APPLICATION FOR SHIPYARDS


The shipyard is a dangerous place, dedicated to professionals and boat owners, adjacent to the marina. They need power supply to manage the maintenance of the boats.

Mobile equipment such as high-pressure cleaners, heaters, lighting, ventilation, and welding equipment must be powered in these yards.

APPLICATION FOR COMMERCIAL PORTS


In commercial ports, cranes are used to load and unload ships. They require high power socket outlets.

WHY MARECHAL®?

 All MARECHAL® products are suitable for these applications, depending on the power requirements.

For these applications, the DS, DSN, PF and SP ranges of industrial plugs are frequently used.

Why are they used?

- 16 A to 250 A: for their resistance to corrosion, without overheating, and for the safety of the public and boaters thanks to the DECONTACTOR™ on-load interruptible socket whose active parts are inaccessible (IP4X),

- Above 250 A: possibility of combining several single-pole connectors or high power socket outlets to reach current levels up to 2000 A, while remaining in low voltage.   

 

FOCUS on 3P+N+T DOUBLE-VOLTAGE SOCKETS :

For 32 A and 63 A ratings, DECONTACTOR™ offer dual voltage capability: a single shore power plug can accommodate 230 V (single phase outlet) or 400 V (three phase outlet). This allows great flexibility for the harbour manager who can more easily accommodate boats regardless of their energy needs.

All our connectors comply with international electrical standards (IEC/EN 60309-1, IEC/EN 60309-4). The breaking capacity of our plugs is indicated according to the IEC/EN 60947-3 standard.
