Green shipping corridors announced

Some 19 national governments have stated their intent at COP26 to support the establishment of green shipping corridors – zero emission shipping routes between two ports. This will involve deploying zero emission vessel technologies and putting alternative fuel and charging infrastructure in place in ports to allow for zero emission shipping on key routes across the globe.

This could mean that, in the future, taking a zero emission ferry could be part of our holidays, or that everyday household goods, including food and clothes, could soon arrive on zero emission ships.

In other shipping news, 28 offshore wind industry stakeholders have committed under the Operation Zero initiative to work together toward making zero emission operations and maintenance vessels a reality in the North Sea by 2025.
