The journey to zero emission shipping start with UK ports

The UK’s maritime sector has always played an important role as a primary facilitator of global trade, with shipping accounting for 95% of UK trade. Following the UK’s departure from the EU, ports will play a key role in reframing trade relationships and harnessing future opportunities.

However, with increasing trade, if no action is taken, CO2 emissions from international shipping could account for 17% of global CO2 emissions by 2050.
