Answer

What is shore power and why does it matter in Palma?

Shore power lets a cruise ship connect to the local electricity grid while docked instead of running its own generators. That can reduce noise and lower emissions in port areas such as Palma’s waterfront. It is one of the most practical ways to make cruise traffic less disruptive for nearby residents.
