<p>In January 2019 the Government published Maritime 2050, which set out strategic
ambitions for the future of the maritime sector, including a vision for zero emission
shipping. In Maritime 2050, we committed to assess how economic instruments could
support the transition to zero emission shipping in the medium to long term. We also
committed to consider whether and how the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO)
could be used to encourage the uptake of low carbon fuels in maritime.</p><p> </p><p>Government
will this week publish the Clean Maritime Plan, which will set out further detail
on our plans to create incentives for shipping companies to reduce both air quality
pollutant emissions and carbon dioxide. I will make a further statement to the House
on the measures included within the plan on the day of publication.</p>
