A technical illustration of the blue RV Investigator research vessel connecting to shore power on a concrete dock via a crane and large cables.

A realistic technical concept illustration showing a shore power connection system on a concrete dock beside the RV Investigator research vessel, viewed from a slightly elevated perspective. The manual jib-style crane turret is facing left, mounted on the dock edge with a small electrical control box attached to its upright column. The boom is partially lowered, extending toward the vessel. About eight thick bundled power cables exit from the end of the boom, run up and over the dock handrail using a roller guide, and then curve neatly down into the vessel’s shore power cabinet on the deck. The vessel is close to the viewer, showing its blue hull, handrail, and deck area. The dock includes a gray shore power cabinet with a red lightning warning label, protective cable covers, and safety yellow railing. The scene should appear clean, industrial, and professional — similar to a technical shipyard or port infrastructure diagram. Lighting neutral; color scheme mostly gray, white, blue, and yellow accents. See more
