OPS is coming to Cherbourg in early 2027
Onshore power supply technology (OPS) is to be launched in Cherbourg in early 2027. The total budget of the project, which is co-funded by Ports of Normandy and the Cotentin Urban Community, is €11.5 million.
An area of 800m2 is reserved for the future OPS system installation, including a cable management system and four connection sockets. The first installations will commence in autumn 2025.
“OPS will have a far-reaching impact on CO2 emissions reduction in Cherbourg and will become a tangible step forward in terms of sustainable future,” says Julien Bougon, deputy director Cotentin Tourist Office.
In addition, a number of projects were completed this year, including a new generation of bus in town with a dedicated line for cruise shuttles; a cruise terminal parking area renovation programme; a new concept store in the reception area of the terminal; and a cruise-friendly membership programme to welcome cruise passengers in Cherbourg.
