06 Feb 23 Chamber reacts to £77m Government investment in clean maritime technology Zero-emission ferries, cruises and cargo ships will set sail in UK waters within 2 years, creating thousands of new jobs, thanks to a £77 million government investment in clean maritime technology. The funding will take the tech from the factory to the sea, identifying which projects will have a long-term impact in reducing emissions.Reacting to the news, a UK Chamber of Shipping spokesperson said:“Today’s announcement is an important and significant step, allocating the most UK Shore funds to date, in moving zero-emission shipping from theory to reality. “The process will take time as technologies continue to develop and will require further investment, both private and public, in the years ahead. The forthcoming revised Clean Maritime Plan will be an opportunity to set out the roadmap for this investment.” If you want to read more about this initiative, you can visit the Gov.uk webpage.
