The Brittany port of Saint-Cast, managed by CCI Côtes d’Armor, has invested in an Aqua SuperPower Aqua 75 DC marine fast charge station.
The charging station is aimed at service boats, fishing boats, electric boat clubs, training boats in sailing clubs, and support boats for racing events.
“We are proud to present the Aqua 75 fast charging station in Saint-Cast, an important step towards sustainable boating and environmental management,” said Virginie Raimbeaux, director of the port. “This facility not only strengthens our port’s capabilities, but also aligns with our commitment to reducing our carbon footprint and promoting clean energy solutions in marine operations.”
Milestone
And a spokesperson from CCI Côtes d’Armor explained that the integration of Aqua superPower’s fast charging station marks an important milestone in the ports efforts to support environmentally friendly maritime practices.
“We are thrilled to welcome Saint-Cast to the Aqua network, supporting their shift to marine electrification. With our fast-charge station, Saint-Cast is leading the way for a cleaner, more sustainable boating industry in Brittany,” said Maryline Marilly, European head of business development for Aqua superPower France.
