Before the Tugs, the Substation

India's major ports are commissioning the right equipment — battery-electric harbour tugs, swappable-battery truck fleets, crane rows on grid power — but no public specification exists for the load orchestrator that would manage their combined demand on the same substation. In the five-to-seven-year transition window before offshore wind and green hydrogen change the arithmetic, that deferred software layer will decide whether electrification clears the diesel savings or not. The kit arrives on schedule; the reading of it does not.
