Cochran's Marine Shore Power System now has patent pending status. Over the last four years Mike Watts and his team have worked on developing a unique solution for the cruise line industry to provide a cost-saving and environmentally sound alternative to idling diesel engines as a source of power while in port.Shore Power
A standard-based solution.
All of our shore-power projects—including installations for Princess Cruises, Holland America Line, and Carnival Cruise Lines—are based on our patent-pending standard. Simply put, we’re executing a proven design. Our experience concepting, developing and perfecting the standard ultimately saves you the cost and risk of creating unproven one-off solutions from scratch.

A flexible, win-win system.
Our solution liberates operators from the expense of idling diesel engines. This improves the environmental performance of ports by dramatically reducing carbon emissions. In addition, our standard design accommodates the two separate voltages required by different vessels, and automates the metering and billing of individual vessels.
Sole-sourcing opportunities.
Our development of the patent-pending standard, combined with the absence of viable comparable solutions, gives port authorities the opportunity to designate Cochran as a sole-source provider. Cochran’s established track record with multiple ports and operators also supports this designation.
