This Diploma Thesis will consider the possibility of a Cold Ironing installation in Chania’s port, Souda, from a cost-benefit perspective.The aim of using Cold Ironing is to improve air quality in a port and in the city close to the port area, by reducing emissions of air pollutants such as NOx and SOx. This is achieved by replacing onboard generated power from diesel auxiliary engines with clean electricity supplied by a shore connection.The present Thesis presents a technical design of the installation as well as its financial and environmental evaluation.The Green aspect of the project is determined by the development of a photovoltaic park as an alternative way to generate electricity for the Cold Ironing application.Finally, the viability of the total investment is determined by calculating Net Present Value, while at the same time the environmental benefits for the port of Souda are considered.
