UK’s £30M Push for Green Shipping: A Game-Changer for Decarbonisation

The UK Government is making waves in the business sustainability sector with a fresh £30 million competition under the Clean Maritime Demonstration Competition (CMDC6). This initiative targets breakthrough technologies like electric vessels, hydrogen-powered ships, and wind propulsion systems to decarbonise the maritime industry.

What’s in it for Sustainability?

Since 2022, CMDC has unlocked over £100 million in private investment, funding transformative projects such as Britain’s first port electric chargepoint network and hydrogen-powered vessel retrofits. Hull is emerging as a hub of innovation, spearheading projects like GT Wings’ AirWing, which promises to slash vessel emissions by up to 30%.

Beyond Innovation: A Blueprint for Change

This initiative is part of the UK’s Plan for Change, aiming to grow the economy, generate coastal jobs, and position Britain as a Clean Energy Superpower. With global zero-emission shipping commitments like the Clydebank Declaration, the stakes—and opportunities—have never been higher.
