With increasing environmental awareness, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) mandates that ports provide shore power facilities, leading to a growing proportion of AMP installations. When ships with AMP systems connect to port shore power, the plugs and cables require a secure, fixed structure for support. These cables typically operate at voltages of 6.6kV, 11kV, or higher; haphazardly laid on deck would severely impact crew safety and shipboard operations. Therefore, a cable guide device for high-voltage shore power equipment on oil tankers is urgently needed. Summary of the Invention
