Launched by Maritime Minister Nusrat Ghani MP in London, the plan says that all new ships for UK waters ordered from 2025 should be designed with zero-emission capable technologies.
The government is also looking at ways to incentivize the transition to zero-emission shipping and will consult on this next year.
The plan also includes a GBP 1 million (USD 1.25 million) competition to find innovative ways to reduce maritime emissions and is published alongside a call for evidence to reduce emissions on UK waterways and domestic vessels.
