ABB is a global leader in electrification and automation, helping ports and terminals shift from diesel-dependent, siloed operations to electric, digital, and connected systems. With more than a century of engineering heritage, ABB Marine & Ports delivers end-to-end solutions spanning shore-to-ship power (OPS), substation and grid integration, high-efficiency drives and controls for cranes, charging and energy systems for yard equipment, and real-time digital platforms through ABB Ability™.

At the heart of ABB’s offer is seamless integration: electrical infrastructure, power conversion, and software engineered to work as one system. From planning and grid studies to turnkey OPS (including frequency conversion, e-houses, and cable management), through crane modernisation and automation, microgrids and battery storage, and condition monitoring/analytics, ABB enables ports to cut emissions while increasing reliability and throughput. Digital applications—such as ABB Ability™ energy and asset performance tools—ingest live data, simulate scenarios, and recommend optimal operating decisions across berth, yard, and fleet, turning fragmented assets into a coordinated, low-carbon ecosystem.

With ABB, ports and terminals can:

• Decarbonise at the berth with proven shore power that lets vessels switch off auxiliary engines.
• Stabilise energy costs and capacity via smart grid integration, high-efficiency drives, and on-site storage/microgrids.
• Boost crane and yard productivity through electrification, advanced controls, and targeted automation/retrofits.
• Increase uptime using condition monitoring, remote support, and predictive maintenance.
• Prepare for the future fleet with charging/energy systems for electric yard tractors, RTGs/RMGs, and harbor craft.

Today, ABB’s technology underpins many of the world’s most advanced green port programs, delivering measurable cuts in fuel use and emissions alongside safer, quieter operations. As ports scale shore power, electrify equipment, and digitise estates, ABB remains a trusted partner—from feasibility and financing support through delivery and lifecycle service—helping operators meet capacity, cost, and climate targets with confidence.
