heal.abstract	This diploma thesis, explores the possibility of a Cold Ironing installation in Thessaloniki’s port from a Cost-Benefit perspective. At first a feasibility study is conducted in order to determine the cost of implementing on-shore power supply to the port. An additional investment in a Photovoltaic Park within the port, in the context of moving forward a greener path, as well as for financial profitability, has also been investigated. However, the nature of such an investment is more environmental rather than financial. Therefore, the external benefits for Human health, environment, society and ecosystem have to be examined carefully before reaching a decision. The comparison between actual monetary and beneficial monetary outcomes, is quite a difficult task and the result may vary from a different perspective. Nevertheless, it is more than clear that the environmental benefits for Thessaloniki –a town which has already quite insulted atmosphere- are great. Moreover, in order to connect these advantages with a profitable investment strategy, numerous scenarios and possibilities have been analysed. The problem arises when electricity prices of on-board and on-shore generated sources are compared. Currently on-shore generated power is much more expensive than on-board. Therefore, shipowners are unlikely to use the facilities if there lays a loss. The most important step to make it a vital solution for both port administrators and ship-owners is that of introducing a special tax exception in electricity fee. That way, the cost between on-shore generated and on-board generated could be competitive for ship owners, and it depends on the percentage of reduction the profitability of the port.	el
