1. A device for connecting a ship to a land-side supply grid, the device comprising:
a rail system having a guide channel;
a cover designed to cover the guide channel, said cover being formed by a plurality of successive articulated cover plates;
a land-side coupling unit mounted on the rail system for travel and designed for receiving a cable-connected ship-side plug, said coupling unit including a lifting device designed to open the cover by opening the cover plates in a position-dependent manner, and a shield designed to protect an area of the guide channel opened by the lifting device against falling objects; and
a cable carrier designed to cable-connect the coupling unit to the land-side supply grid, said cable carrier arranged lying flat on a side in the guide channel and pivotable about a vertical bending axis.
