The Clean Maritime Demonstration Competition (CMDC) has awarded a total of £128 million in its fourth round (CMDC4) to drive the maritime industry toward achieving net-zero emissions.
This funding supports various initiatives focusing on clean maritime technologies, including electric, hydrogen, ammonia, methanol, and wind power.
These organizations aim to enhance electric infrastructure, providing electricity to ports, harbors, and the grid when vessels are not in use, contributing to sustainable maritime practices.
Among the winners are Aqua SuperPower and RS Marine Group, both based in Southampton, dedicated to developing electric vessels and charging points.
This innovative solution eliminates the need for diesel-powered generators and auxiliary generators, promoting cleaner maritime practices.
Cammell Laird Shiprepairers & Shipbuilders secured £3.5 million to deliver a clean shore power solution for vessels undergoing refit and repair at Cammell Laird shipyard.
