In a system of harnessing tidal rise and fall, this system uses water inflation and expulsion to force water through a water turbine to produce shore power in a port. Ten meter long and ten meter wide, hexagon polyester-rubber bladders, arranged in series (depending on the size of the ship), are secured to the ocean floor and fitted under the moored ships. The bladders are secured from a keel plate to the tie-downs of the ship and tied so that the ship settles on out-going tide, and pulls the bags up on a rising tide. The rising tide creates a vacuum in the bag which pulls the water from the shore tank, through the turbine in the shore side direction of the ship, producing hydro-electric power. In out-going tide, the vessel settles onto the bladders, forcing the water out of the bags, through the turbines, producing hydro-electric power on the shore side direction, refilling the shore tank.
