<p>The Clean Maritime Plan, published earlier this month, sets out a route map for
zero emission shipping in the UK. Alongside the Clean Maritime Plan, the Government
published research setting out some of challenges around increasing uptake of electric
charging. As noted in this research, capital expenditure costs associated with electric
charging berths will vary greatly. They may be influenced by, for instance, the size
of the vessels being plugged in, the existing grid infrastructure, and the layout
of port infrastructure. The Government believes that electric charging will have a
role to play in reducing emissions from UK shipping, and will continue to work with
the ports and shipping industries, the Clean Maritime Council, and the National Grid
to better understand the opportunities for shoreside power.</p><p> </p>
