Astander is implementing the MOVE III project, focused on the installation of electric vehicle (EV) charging points within its facilities. This initiative aims to promote sustainable mobility, support the transition to electric transportation, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions through the deployment of efficient charging infrastructure.
The MOVE III project is a strategic initiative aimed at accelerating the transition toward sustainable mobility by deploying a comprehensive electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure within Astander’s facilities. This project responds to the growing demand for electric mobility solutions and aligns with European and national objectives for decarbonization and energy efficiency.
The main goal of MOVE III is to install 67 EV charging points across the shipyard, distributed in three implementation phases to ensure scalability and adaptability to future technological advancements. These charging stations will be strategically located in key operational areas such as parking zones, dry docks, warehouses, and logistics areas, providing convenient access for employees, visitors, and public users.
By implementing this infrastructure, Astander aims to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve air quality, and support the adoption of clean transportation technologies. The project also includes civil works and electrical network adaptations, ensuring compliance with safety standards and optimal performance in a demanding marine environment. MOVE III is fully aligned with the objectives of the MOVES III program, promoted by the Government of Cantabria, and represents a major step toward creating a modern, sustainable, and energy-efficient industrial ecosystem.
Astander plays a leading role in the MOVE III project, leveraging its extensive experience in industrial transformation and its strong commitment to sustainability. As the main beneficiary, Astander is responsible for the design, installation, and integration of EV charging points, including the execution of civil works, electrical adaptations, and the implementation of protective structures to ensure durability in a highly corrosive marine environment.
The project involves the deployment of high-capacity chargers (up to 22 kW), both single and dual units, using advanced models such as URBAN T22-C2, URBAN MASTER/SLAVE systems, and ePARK T-C2 for indoor and outdoor applications. These chargers are equipped with smart features, including OCPP communication protocols, RFID authentication, and energy metering, enabling efficient management and monitoring of the charging network.
To guarantee long-term reliability, the project includes the construction of protective enclosures in critical areas such as dry docks, mitigating the effects of corrosion and harsh weather conditions. Additionally, Astander plans to integrate smart energy management systems to optimize electricity consumption and reduce operational costs.
