I am pleased to have chaired the meeting of Maritime UK SW’s Clean Maritime group. The event was for consortium building for two calls – The ZEVI call by Innovate UK and DfT Competition overview – ZEVI: Alternative fuel vessels and refuelling infrastructure – Innovation Funding Service (apply-for-innovation-funding.service.gov.uk), and the national clean maritime research hub call Establish a flagship UK national clean maritime research hub – UKRI.
The event was successful and was well attended with 50+ people present from a wide range of different maritime businesses. This was a positive indicator that pushing maritime to a cleaner future is of importance to the maritime sector.
