The UK’s second-largest port owner, and renewable energy and maritime specialists, NatPower Marine, have announced their plans to establish the first “green shipping corridors” between Britain and Ireland.
This collaboration could provide a model to drastically cut global shipping emissions;the proposed project would see NatPower Marine develop the UK’s first commercial electric ship (e-ship) charging network.
The network would include this dedicated e-ship charging infrastructure being delivered across eight UK and Irish ports.
“We look forward to working closely with NatPower Marine to explore the possibilities for establishing the first green shipping corridor between the UK and Ireland and further enabling support for our customers, shipping lines, and hauliers as they transition to a greener future.” said the spokesman for the port operator.
