Government funding

A cross-sector consortium - comprising marine fuels training, conference and publishing firm ship.energy, shipping and logistics company DFDS, IBIA (the International Bunker Industry Association) and the University of Plymouth - has been successful in its application for funding under the sixth round of the UK's Clean Maritime Demonstration Competition. The Skills 4 Future Maritime Fuels project will be funded by the UK government through the UK Shipping Office for Reducing Emissions (UK SHORE) programme of the Department for Transport. Innovate UK is the main delivery partner for UK SHORE interventions. UK SHORE is focused on developing a more sustainable maritime sector in tandem with driving economic growth across the UK.
