Ports Plan Shore Power — Who Pays for Mallorca's Clean Ferries?

Answer

Will shore power make Mallorca harbours quieter and cleaner?

Yes, that is one of the main benefits. If ferries and other ships stop running engines while docked, residents and visitors should notice less diesel smell, less fine particulate pollution, and less noise near the quays. The full effect depends on how widely the systems are used and how the electricity is generated.
