<p>The Government is committed to decarbonising the maritime sector both domestically,
to meet our Net Zero target, and internationally to meet International Maritime Organisation
targets.</p><p> </p><p>In 2019, Government published the Clean Maritime Plan, which
noted that by 2025 we expect that ‘all vessels operating in UK waters [should be]
maximising the use of energy efficiency options’, to reduce emissions in the short-term
before practical zero emission technologies are made deployable. Following publication
of the Clean Maritime Plan, Government provided £1.5m for clean maritime projects
including maritime energy efficiency projects, through the MarRI-UK Clean Maritime
Call. The Department will soon publish the Transport Decarbonisation Plan, which will
set out further details of the Government’s maritime decarbonisation measures.</p><p>
</p><p>Internationally, the UK was crucial to securing both the efficiency target
in the IMO’s Initial Greenhouse Gas Strategy, and to the IMO’s adoption of the Energy
Efficiency Design Index. The UK will continue to push for ambition on efficiency and
decarbonisation measures at the IMO.</p><p> </p>
