San Antonio Terminal Internacional (STI) is evaluating the implementation of cold ironing technology to supply electrical energy to vessels during their stay at the dock. The initiative seeks to reduce fuel consumption and polluting emissions from ships.

The project would make STI the first terminal to have this system, strengthening its decarbonization actions and operational efficiency. The terminal is also advancing in the electrification of its port equipment and the use of digital technologies.

Among its initiatives, the digital twin stands out, which allows monitoring operations and detecting opportunities for improvement at the terminal. These measures aim for a more efficient and sustainable port operation, in line with the energy transformation of the sector.
