Answer

What are shore power and environmental upgrades in Mallorca’s ports?

Shore power lets ships use electricity from land instead of running their engines while docked, which can reduce emissions and noise in Mallorca’s harbours. The port plan also mentions wastewater technology and coastal protection. These upgrades only work well if ships actually use the systems and the technical standards are practical.
