MARDAS Container Terminal — Compact Mobile CMS delivery, Istanbul
Commercial deployment ✓ Delivered Complete
MARDAS Container Terminal
MARDAS Container Terminal
Istanbul, Turkey · mardas.com.tr ↗

MARDAS is one of Turkey's leading container terminal operators, handling significant container volumes through its Istanbul facility. The terminal required a shore power solution for its container berths — specifically designed for the narrow-aisle layout between vessel and quay that characterises high-density container terminals.

REGBES delivered a mobile dual-reel cable management system configured for the terminal's narrow berth aisles — allowing two shore power cables to be deployed simultaneously for faster vessel connection and higher turnaround throughput.

REGBES scope of delivery
Compact Mobile CMS — dual-reel system on mobile platform
Configured for narrow-aisle container terminal berths
IEC 80005-1 compliant — high voltage shore connection

BlueBARGE — barge-to-ship cable management system in operation
EU Horizon Europe In progress · est. completion 2026
BlueBARGE
ABS-led consortium · Started January 2024 · bluebarge.eu ↗

BlueBARGE is an EU Horizon Europe-funded project led by the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS). Its goal is to design and demonstrate an optimal power barge solution for supplying electrical power to moored and anchored vessels in locations where shore-side grid connection is unavailable or impractical — addressing a major gap in the maritime energy transition for offshore and anchorage operations.

REGBES contributes the cable management systems for both the port-to-barge and barge-to-ship connections, and is developing a universal modular CMS that can be configured for different vessel types and IEC standards — scaling the BlueBARGE concept from a single vessel to full offshore terminal operations.

REGBES scope of work
Onshore and offshore cable management system development
Universal modular CMS for scalable offshore OPS applications
EMS integration for barge-to-ship power scheduling
IEC 80005-1 compliant — barge-to-ship high voltage connection
Hy2FISH — vessel power architecture diagram, EMS/PMS integration
EU-funded In progress
Hy2FISH
ARVI consortium · hy2fish.arvi.org ↗

Hy2FISH is a project developing a hydrogen, solar, and battery-powered fishing vessel platform — one of the first integrated zero-emission propulsion systems for the commercial fishing sector. The vessel combines a hydrogen fuel cell, PV panels, battery storage, and a hydrogen genset with conventional propulsion in a fully managed multi-source power architecture.

REGBES is responsible for the Energy Management System and Power Management System — developing the software that coordinates power flow between all sources, optimises energy consumption, and manages the onboard shore power connection. REGBES also conducts underwater noise and vibration measurements as part of the project's environmental assessment work.

REGBES scope of work
Energy Management System (EMS) development
Power Management System (PMS) development
Multi-source power optimisation — H₂ fuel cell, PV, battery, shore
Underwater noise and vibration measurements
Smart Power Booster — hybrid cable management unit, multi-fuel and multi-plug delivery
Rotterdam Municipality ✓ Demo complete Autonomous connection in development
Smart Power Booster
Rotterdam Municipality · Smart Energy Systems Subsidy

The Smart Power Booster is a Rotterdam Municipality-backed project, funded through the Smart Energy Systems Subsidy programme. Its goal is to deliver power and alternative fuel to inland port vessels at berths where permanent shore power infrastructure is not available — addressing the growing electrification needs of inland waterway shipping on Dutch and European waterways.

REGBES developed a hybrid cable management system enabling a single mobile tower to serve multiple vessels efficiently — reducing the infrastructure investment required per berth and making shore power economically viable at smaller inland ports. The system is designed for hybrid delivery: different fuel types or plug standards can be served from the same unit depending on the vessel and application, making it viable at ports with a mixed inland fleet. The demo phase has been successfully completed. Work continues on integrating the autonomous connection system to further reduce operator workload.

REGBES scope of work
Hybrid cable management system — one tower, multiple vessels
Hybrid delivery — different fuel types or plug standards from the same unit
Shore power and alternative fuel delivery to inland waterway vessels
Demo phase complete — autonomous connection integration in progress
