Passenger Ships: Carbon Emissions
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps her Department is taking to help support the decarbonisation of the cruise industry.
Answered by Keir Mather
The Maritime Decarbonisation Strategy, published in March this year, sets out key UK policies to reach zero emissions by 2050. These policies will work alongside measures to reduce emissions from global shipping, which were agreed at the International Maritime Organization (IMO) in April. UK Government funding is also available, through the UK SHORE programme, for research & development of the technologies required for maritime decarbonisation. Together, this creates a clear framework and package of support for the decarbonisation of all parts of the maritime sector, including the cruise industry.
