Climate change and the ever increasing energy dependence led the scientific community to seek alternative and more environmentally friendly energy sources. In recent years, interest has mainly focused on Renewable Energy Sources to cover part of energy needs, contributing to the protection of the environment while creating new jobs. One area ofparticular interest is wind energy utilization, using wind turbines. Wind farms are one of the most promising technologies for energy production and oil independence.The purpose of this thesis is the electrification of cruise ships at berth through land-based wind energy sources. The research includes all ports of Greece that received cruise ships for 2014 while the software used is HOMER 2. Reference is also made to the effects of air pollutants on the environment and human health followed by an analysis of land-based electrification of cruise ships at berth using the cold ironing process, recording the necessary equipment of ships and ports needed for its implementation.
