DfT Launches UK SHORE To Take Maritime "Back To The Future" With Green Investment
Thousands of ships and vessels will become greener and cleaner with £206 million investment to support zero emissions, sailing and skilled maritime jobs, part of the Government's Shipbuilding Strategy.
The new Government unit, UK Shipping Office For Reducing Emissions, or known as UK SHORE, will tackle shipping emissions and advance the UK towards a sustainable shipping future. The unit will be housed in the Department of Transport, building on the success of the UK's Clean Maritime Demonstration Competition (CMDC), which launched last year. The CMDC has been given a multi-year extension for UK organisations to accelerate zero emission shipping technologies.
