Lord Davies, the UK government’s Maritime Minister, recently revealed the recipients of £33 million worth of funding for the development of green technologies for ships and ports.
The aim of the investment is to accelerate Britain’s efforts to decarbonise the industry, while simultaneously creating new employment options in the nation’s coastal communities, and to help create long-term growth for the UK economy.
UK companies and consumers interested in making ESG (environmental, social and governance) investments often rely on experts for independent financial advice in Chester, London and other major cities. Wealth managers can provide unbiased guidance and access to a full range of investment products from across the market.
The £33 million investment was shared between 33 different projects spread out over all 12 UK regions to support feasibility research, factory testing and practical demonstrations.
The new initiatives are planned to position Britain as a leader in the latest clean maritime technologies, supporting sustainable and high-skilled jobs.
The recent government investment is part of the fourth round of the Clean Maritime Demonstration Competition. Known by the acronym CMDC4, the latest round focuses on working on producing a wide array of greener maritime technologies like electric, ammonia, hydrogen, methanol and wind power, to name but a few.
The UK’s minister for maritime activities has visited two organisations in Southampton that have been awarded a share of the investment, the RS Marine Group and Aqua SuperPower to witness first-had their innovative network of electric ships and port charge-points.
