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.”
