British ports call for green fund to accelerate zero emissions transition

The UK Major Ports Group (UKMPG) has called on the government to establish a dedicated ‘Green Ports Fund’ to co-invest alongside industry in green assets and infrastructure which are technologically proven but currently unaffordable.

Such investments would include the infrastructure required for electrically charging ships in ports and the new generation of electric and hydrogen powered port equipment.

The fund would see the government working alongside the industry to deliver efficient zero emissions solutions.
