Transport Maritime Promoting Encourage shipowners and ports to 0.32 0.02
Greener invest in ‘green technologies’ – exhaust
Shipping gas cleaning systems (EGCS) and
alternative fuels – to reduce pollution
emissions by ships. A small fund (£10-
£20m) would be used to help
shipowners operating from UK ports in
the North Sea and the Channel to
purchase this technology, providing a
positive boost for UK based ferry
services and for UK marine equipment
manufacturers supplying this
technology.
The natural environment is central to
economic activity and growth. These
are not mutually exclusive; economic
and environmental performance must
go hand in hand. There will be both
opportunities and challenges from the
transition to a green economy and
businesses will need to adapt to take
advantage of benefits and manage
costs and risks. By developing the right
policies, the Government can support
the transition and create opportunities
that facilitate investment in green
technologies. Done right, this would be
a win-win situation, both reducing
operational pollution and bringing
benefits to industry.
