Overview
PowerReach is a jib-crane solution that connects high-voltage (HV) vessels (typically Ro-
Ro and Ro-Pax), and low-voltage (LV) vessels (typically ferries), to shoreside electrical grids
quickly and securely. It can also be used to charge AC and DC systems.
The system performs rapid pay out and retrieval of HV and LV power cables and plugs,
(with pilots and FO if required), with a dedicated cable dragging unit. PowerReach has a
minimal quayside footprint, and its arm can be rotated and “parked” when not in use. The
system is manoeuvred using Cavotec’s robust, lightweight and ergonomic push-button
Radio Remote Control (RRC) units.
Safety features include operator alerts that are triggered when cables are fully payed in or
payed out and HV/LV shut-off in the event of excessive cable traction.
Benefits
• RRC for remote operation: multiple RRC units available for • Special paint or colours
multiple-vessel applications • Ultrasound vessel detection sensor
• Protection cages around cables • Hot dip galvanised structure
• Direct connection to shore power substation
