IEC 62613 Shore-to-Ship (AMP / Cold Ironing) High-Voltage Port Reeling Cable (6.6 / 11 kV)

High-Voltage Shore Connection (HVSC)—also referred to as Alternative Maritime Power (AMP) or Cold Ironing—allows container vessels, cruise ships, Ro-Ro carriers and LNG tankers to shut down auxiliary diesel generators at berth and draw 6.6 kV or 11 kV shore power throughIEC 62613-2 plugs and motorized cable management reels. Because the cable is repeatedly deployed between the quay or barge reel and the vessel receiving cubicle, it requires flexible Class 5 tinned-copper conductors, integrated pilot/optical control circuits and a marine-grade outer jacket.

Jiangsu Tebaoflex Special Cable Co., Ltd. holds valid ISO 9001:2015 certification (certificate no. 244-24-QI-17425-R0-Q, valid through 2027-12-17) whose certified production scope explicitly names reeling cables for shore-to-ship power connection (岸电连接), alongside ISO 14001:2015 (cert. 033825E01477R1SXSNIEY) and ISO 45001:2018 (cert. 033825S01277R1SEJOTLU) covering the sales and management of shore-to-ship connection cables.

Designed in accordance with IEC/IEEE 80005-1, IEC 62613-1 / IEC 62613-2 and DIN VDE 0250-813, each cable integrates three triple-extruded +90 °C EPR medium-voltage power cores (35 mm² to 185 mm²), one or two concentric/interstitial earth conductors, pilot control cores for safety-loop interlocks and an optional metal-free fibre-optic subunit for ship-to-shore PLC communication, all protected by an anti-torsion braid and a saltwater-, oil- and UV-resistant polychloroprene (5GM5) or halogen-free SHF2 elastomer jacket.

Confirm your vessel/berth system voltage (6.6 kV or 11 kV), single-cable vs. parallel-cable ampacity requirement, IEC 62613 coupler pinout (pilot core or fibre-optic count) and dispenser reel dimensions when requesting a quotation. TEBAOFLEX supplies custom shore-to-ship reeling lengths from a 50 m minimum order quantity with a standard lead time of 7–45 working days.

For related berth shore-power dispensers and medium-voltage port crane reeling cables, compare these specifications: (N)TSCGEW11Y 6/10 kV Shore Power Reeling Cable (for halogen-free PUR-sheathed 6/10 kV berth and mobile dispenser reeling); STS (Ship-to-Shore) Quay Crane Main Drum & Spreader Reeling Cable (0.6/1–20 kV) (for high-speed container quay crane main drum and spreader reeling up to 20 kV). Verify pilot-core allocation, integrated optical fibres, and berth voltage before ordering.

Construction

The representative construction illustrates 6/10 (12) kV 3×95 + 1G50 + 4×2.5 mm² Shore-to-Ship AMP Reeling Cable: three Class 5 flexible tinned-copper phase cores with inner semiconductive screen, +90 °C EPR insulation, outer semiconductive screen and tinned-copper composite shield, cabled with one flexible tinned-copper earth core and one jacketed pilot/control subunit in the interstitial valleys, surrounded by a light-grey inner elastomer sheath, open-weave anti-torsion aramid braid and a black marine-grade 5GM5 polychloroprene outer sheath.

Applications

Select 6/10 (12) kV cables for 6.6 kV container and Ro-Ro shore power systems, or 8.7/15 (17.5) kV cables for 11 kV cruise ship and high-capacity container terminal HVSC installations.

• Quay-side containerized AMP / Cold Ironing cable dispenser reels and jib-arm cable management systems at container and cruise terminals.
• Shipboard HVSC motorized cable reels installed inside container vessel and Ro-Ro carrier shore-power receiving rooms.
• Mobile dockside cable reel trailers and floating power-barge to vessel high-voltage shore connections.
• Direct termination into IEC 62613-2 high-voltage shore connection plugs and sockets with integrated safety pilot interlocks.

For container terminal shore-power vaults, mobile cable dispensers, and vessel-side CMS reels, review these solutions: Port & Container Crane Cable Solutions (for complete berth, quay crane, and container yard electrification engineering); E-RTG & Automated Container Crane (ASC / RMG) High-Speed Reeling Cable (0.6/1–20 kV) (for automated stacking crane and electric RTG high-speed drum reeling up to 20 kV). Confirm plug compatibility under IEC 62613, seawater-oil resistance, and drum bending radius.

Specifications

Continuous current ratings are stated at +90 °C conductor temperature and +45 °C marine ambient air (IEC/IEEE 80005-1 reference); apply drum layer derating when multiple layers remain wound on the AMP reel during operation.

ISO 9001:2015 certificate 244-24-QI-17425-R0-Q is held by Jiangsu Tebaoflex Special Cable Co., Ltd. for the production of reeling cables including shore-to-ship power connection; ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certificates cover the sales and related management activities of shore-to-ship connection cables.

Both pilot-core configurations (e.g., + 2×2.5 or 4×2.5 mm²) and hybrid fibre-optic configurations (+ 12FO / 24FO) are available to match the shore-power switchgear design.
