For a greener maritime sector, Government is investing £20 million into a Clean Maritime Demonstration Competition, to support the UK design and development of clean maritime technologies. This programme builds on the vision set out in the Department’s Clean Maritime Plan and underlines our commitment to addressing emissions from this sector.

Further plans for the decarbonisation of the maritime sector will be set out in the forthcoming Transport Decarbonisation Plan.
