Nov. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The global Shore Power Market is anticipated to grow from estimated USD 2.03 billion in 2024 to USD 3.58 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 12.0% during the forecast period. This growth is mainly driven by a higher demand for renewals in the maritime sector in order to reduce carbon emissions from docked ships, and therefore stricter regulations by the government to protect the environment. Higher investments in port infrastructure and alternative renewable energy sources entry are also adding up to the adoption of the shore power system. Among these are automation, smart grids, and energy management systems that are deployed to optimize shore power operations by improving energy efficiency and minimizing the costs associated with its operations. These benefits have propelled shore power systems from being ecologically and economically unfeasible to become the core part of transition to cleaner and more efficient port operations everywhere around the world.

Mirages?

In MY shoreside?!

It’s more likely than you think!

If YOU have found mirages in your shoreside then you may be entitled to financial compensation.

For additional information, please-*suddenly gets cut off by phone line*

*phone dialling noises*

“Hello. We’re not available now. Please leave your name and phone number after the beep. We will return your call.”

*beep*

“It’s back! Those fucking things are right outside the window! I have NO idea how they got here. But someone said that-“*is abruptly cut off*

*EXTREMELY LOUD AND INDESCRIBABLY HELLISH CACOPHONY OF INDESCRIBABLY LOUD NOISES ACCOMPANIED BY DESTRUCTION, SPLINTERING AND HELLISH SCREAMING!!!!!!!*

*THE CALLERS WERE AMBUSHED*

*THE CALLERS WERE SAVED*

*deafening silence followed by distant, calm ocean wave noises*

*cut to black*

actually im making a post about it on my personal taz blog too...

Ethersea enjoyers... Ethersea haters even... come here... view this massive collection of all the events of the prologues, in chronological order.

Fic writers I KNOW yall have been waiting for this one. Which is honestly why I made this page. because i desperately desperately needed a chronological account of what happened on the shoreside!

Well um several long months later, it is here. My fellow editor aerith and I have spent such a long time putting together this information, corroborating my notes with the transcripts, and I am sooo glad it is here.

 The global Shore Power Market size is expected to grow from USD 1.6 billion in 2022 to USD 2.8 billion by 2027, at a CAGR of 11.2% according to a new report by MarketsandMarkets™. Shore power, shore-to-ship power, or cold ironing is a technique of supplying electricity from the shore to ships to fulfill their power requirements for onboard electrical systems. This technique is also called an alternative maritime power, wherein the provided electricity can either be derived from a combination of port-owned renewable energy sources and local grids or solely from the local grids. The incoming power is fed to a substation at the port, converted into the required form, and transmitted to special power connectors, enabling the connection between the shore and ship.

Booming power sector and augmented power generation capacities worldwide offer huge opportunity for shore power market. There has been a steady increase in the global demand for power, due to which substantial investments have been made, especially in regions such as the Middle East, Asia Pacific, and Africa, to augment the power generation capacities. Investments in conventional power generation in Middle Eastern countries such as Egypt and Oman and renewable power generation in Asia Pacific and African countries such as China, India, and South Africa have been planned to meet the increasing demand for power.

“All is Arbitrary,” a popular Wallundic idiom, can be applied handily to that country’s railway system and especially to the gauges of such.

A narrow majority of the Liberal Republic’s railways are indeed built to the worldwide standard gauge of 4 feet, 8.5 inches. The country’s first public railway was the Eastern Railway, opened in 1846. It was an instant success and is today the busiest and longest network of all. The next few railways inaugurated in its wake laid themselves to the same gauge for ease of access to the ER, and for a while it seemed all future development would follow suit.

It was a short while.

Claude Ortiz was an up and coming civil engineer with a penchant for, by his own account and stated with pride, “overbuilding.” He had recently achieved celebrity status for his design and erecting of what was then the country’s largest aqueduct, the Grand Staircase. Not wanting to stop there, and out to steal the ER’s newfound thunder, he leapt into the railway business. Inspired by Sir Brunel, he rapidly constructed the Grand Shoreside Railway to a gauge of 6 feet, 6 inches. It linked the growing seaside resorts of Port Nevitt and Locketown, and the first trains ran in 1851. Ortiz intended to “march into” the country’s capital of Silverburn with his broad gauge and from there become the New Standard.

The GSR never penetrated Silverburn, and while Ortiz and some of his apprentice disciples went on to open a handful more routes to his preferred gauge, they never overrode the 56.5” norm and mostly ran in isolation from one another. Ortiz was infuriated, for that had been the whole point of his contrarian determination in the first place! (That and a cartoonishly outsized ego.)

So it was by 1867 that the Liberal Republic had two competing rail gauges under its belt. (That was a lie, for a handful ranging from 4 feet and 5 feet had also started work within those sixteen years. Splendid.) In the country’s northeast, the thriving slate quarries at New Independence were having difficulty removing their products. The area’s booming population also needed transportation beyond horses and coaches, but “the land was craggy and spitefully unyielding after the men had so picked at it.” To save on costly earthworks, and with North Welsh inspiration, a gauge of 2 feet, 3 inches was chosen. The New Independence Railway was speedily opened by 1868. It fast became a narrow gauge juggernaut, becoming double-tracked and signaled, achieving mythical “main line in miniature” status. It further extended to serve nearby granite quarries and offered private sidings for any flour mill, dairy, farm, logging camp or other business that wanted one.

Developments carried on in this increasingly disorderly way, and to the outside world’s bafflement, they went seamlessly. Effective 1976, Wallund had 24 locomotive-hauled gauges it considered “standard,” (for what that’s worth.) This also gave way to the Stephenson gauge of 4 feet, 8.5 inches becoming officially known as “Standard Standard.”

Curiously, meter gauge is nowhere to be found in Wallund.

Why?

“Meters and kilometers are for kings, and we haven’t any use for those.”

All is Arbitrary, indeed.
