In this paper an investigation and a technical-economical assessment on the application of the port electrification in Italy is presented. The recent opening of the electricity regulations to energy community may represent a possible business case to create an economical solution for cold ironing in Italy. In order to assess this possibility, a methodology to estimate load demand, emissions and economic aspects of the ship's hotelling period in ports, is proposed. Specifically, the analysis is derived from data of Italian's maritime traffic recorded over one year. The estimations consider also fuel quality and ship category (RO-RO, Tanker, Bulk etc.). Based on the results, a first estimation of the potential impact of the operation of cold ironing in Italy is reported.

Abstract
In this paper an investigation and a technical-economical assessment on the application of the port electrification in Italy is presented. The recent opening of the electricity regulations to energy community may represent a possible business case to create an economical solution for cold ironing in Italy. In order to assess this possibility, a methodology to estimate load demand, emissions and economic aspects of the ship's hotelling period in ports, is proposed. Specifically, the analysis is derived from data of Italian's maritime traffic recorded over one year. The estimations consider also fuel quality and ship category (RO-RO, Tanker, Bulk etc.). Based on the results, a first estimation of the potential impact of the operation of cold ironing in Italy is reported.
