What is a shore side ECM?

A shore side ECM (Energy Control Module) refers to a system installed at ports or harbors that provides electrical power to ships while they are docked, allowing them to shut down their onboard generators. This reduces emissions and noise pollution, contributing to cleaner air and a more sustainable port environment. Shore side ECMs typically connect to the ship's electrical system, enabling it to draw power from the grid instead of relying on fossil fuels.
