15 cruise ships called the port in April, a spokesperson from the port authority told ENGINE.

Three ships can simultaneously use shore power facilities at the port.

The port authority aims for 50% of cruise ships to utilise shore power this year, with plans for all ships to switch to electricity use by 2026 while docked in Bergen.
