Ship Shore Power Connection Cable
A flexible shore connection cable that tolerates repeated coiling, quay-side UV exposure and the bending duty of a vessel that calls twice a week.
Construction and performance
A shore connection cable is handled more in a week than most shipboard cable is handled in a year. It is coiled on a quay, dragged to a pedestal, plugged in, unplugged and coiled again, in sun and salt spray. That duty fixes the construction: fine-strand class 5 conductor for flexibility, EPR insulation for cold-bend performance, and an extra-heavy-duty UV-stabilised sheath that resists abrasion and chalking. The voltage class follows the port supply — low-voltage cold ironing, or a high-voltage connection at 6.6kV or 11kV.
Construction
- Flexible tinned copper conductor, class 5
- EPR insulation
- Cores laid up with fillers and a binder tape
- Extra-heavy-duty SHF2 or CPE sheath, UV stabilised
- Pilot or control cores to project
- Screened construction for high-voltage variants
Applications
- Shore-to-ship cold ironing
- Port fixed shore supply installations
- Reeling and drum applications
- Harbour cranes and shipyard equipment
