Online survey part 3: What do the ports say?

34 ports responded to our call to complete the online survey. 

• 65% of the respondents already have shore-based power infrastructure. This varies from simple cabinets (23%) and smart cabinets (32%) to a combination of both (45%). 
• 30% of the ports indicate that the occupancy rate is low. 41% of the respondents do not even have insight into the actual use of the cabinets. 
• A clear majority is willing to invest in the expansion of the infrastructure: 26 of the 34 ports want to build new installations within five years.

• 81.25% of ports are unsure whether they will use the European AFIF fund, mainly due to the complex application process and a lack of internal capacity to apply. 

• The majority of private ports (60%) and public ports (37.5%) indicate that they are not aware of the AFIR regulations, despite the obligations arising from the regulation
