Canada grants $18M for four green shipping projects

In Canada, the President of the Treasury Board and Minister of Transport announced up to $25.2 million for four projects, funded under the Green Shipping Corridor Program, to support both shore-power and alternative fuel solutions in the marine sector. This funding will:

·      update current infrastructure;

·      upgrade and construct fueling infrastructure to support greener fuel use; and

·      conduct a study to explore the feasibility of establishing a new public port.

Decarbonizing the marine sector is a crucial part of the Government of Canada’s climate action plan. By upgrading port infrastructure and promoting the use of cleaner technologies in vessels, Canada is leading the way in reducing the environmental impact of shipping.
