The Port of San Diego covers 34 miles along San Diego Bay, serving California.
“The Port of San Diego’s Blue Economy Incubator is a global first, and partnering with them signals more than a milestone, it’s proof that VoltSafe’s patented shore power hardware and SaaS platform isn’t just raising the bar, it’s rewriting the standard,” explained VoltSafe CEO and co-founder, Trevor Burgess.
We’re not just keeping pace with change, we’re driving it, and scaling it.

“Through our Blue Economy Incubator, the Port of San Diego is proud to support forward-thinking entrepreneurs who are turning bold ideas into real-world solutions and creating a more sustainable waterfront for all.”
