OPNAVINST 11310.3B
Shore-to-Ship Power Cable for the U.S. NAVY
With global warming and concerns for
environmental degradation, naval ports
around the world are providing means for
Cold Ironing – and so is General Cable.
Cold Ironing, also referred to as Shore-
to-Ship Power, is the preferred solution
to emissions reduction regulations,
providing naval vessels at berth with
an on-shore power source to maintain
essential services while turning their
engines off completely. When it comes to
the circuits needed to provide on-shore
power, critical components such as cables
and connectors must be designed and
engineered for safe and reliable operation
in challenging environments. General
Cable’s Shore2Ship™ cable meets the
stringent standards of OPNAVINST
11310.3B.
General Cable’s Shore2Ship™ cables
for cold ironing are highly specialized
to withstand the severe environmental
conditions of naval ports and piers around
the world—exposure to sea water and
direct sunlight, continuous motion of the
ship, and the repeated flexing of a portable
power system—among others.
