Harstad Havn has launched a shore power facility at Larsneset, further expanding its infrastructure to support sustainable maritime operations.

This development complements the existing shore power installations at Stangnes, reducing emissions and noise from ships in port while significantly cutting fuel consumption.

The facility enables vessels to shut down their engines and connect to the electrical grid while docked, providing a cleaner and quieter alternative to traditional fuel-powered operations. Plug Harstad—a joint venture between Harstad Havn and Plug Nord AS, each holding a 50% share—has invested approximately NOK 11 million in the project. The system is designed to supply electricity to smaller cruise ships and other vessels using low-voltage shore power. The project received NOK 2.4 million in funding from Enova, with the remaining investment covered by the owners.
