GREEN PLUG by NG3

With, among others, the advent of large capacity and efficiency batteries, full electric short sea crossing is in the offing, even for large vessels such as cross channel RoPax or Container Feeder Vessels.
With “GREEN PLUG”, NG3 is proposing the large charging capability solutions which depending on the project can be implemented as a single or twin configuration, based on our well proven PLUG connector technology. Low or medium voltage, Alternate or Direct current, GREEN PLUG can be provided with the amperage capabilities that optimize the overall electrical architecture of your project!
