The UK Chamber of Shipping and Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) have today (8 September) announced the launch of the UK Alternative Maritime Fuels Coalition. The coalition, which will support a technology- and fuel-neutral policy approach ‘based on robust lifecycle emissions assessment and verifiable performance,’ brings together shipowners, fuel suppliers, producers and maritime technology developers in a bid to help accelerate the transition to lower carbon shipping. ‘The new coalition will focus on one of the biggest challenges facing maritime decarbonisation: ensuring the UK has the fuels, infrastructure and policy framework needed to support shipping’s transition to net zero,’ the […]
