From the 2023 cruise season, the port of Ålesund offers shore power for cruise ships at two quays through Plug Ålesund AS.
Plug Ålesund AS is a joint-venture owned 50/50 by the port of Ålesund and Plug AS.

Ordering 

The agent or shipping company states whether shore power is to be used when booking a berth (typically 2-3 years in advance). This is done directly to the Ålesund region's port authority (ÅRH) on alesundregionenshav@alesund.havn.no 

This order is not binding but is used as a basis for planning the season. 

Confirmation

No later than four weeks before ETA, the agent/shipping company must confirm to ÅRH that the ship will have shore power at the port call in question. It must also be stated whether the ship will have ordinary connection, first call test or commissioning. ÅRH forwards to operations@plugport.no and ensures that the agent/shipping company has received information about terms and prices. 

When first call or commissioning, it is particularly important that a dialogue is established between technical personnel onboard the ship and operations in Plug. 

In case of cancellations or confirmations after the four-week deadline, a fee will apply (see price list). 

When booking later than four weeks before arrival, Plug Ålesund cannot guarantee delivery of shore power at the relevant port of call. 

For any technical inquiries, please contact operations@plugport.no
