Recommendation 31

31 Accepted Paragraph: 204

Clean Maritime Plan revision substantially delayed beyond original and deferred timetables

Conclusion
The Clean Maritime Plan—the element of the Government’s Maritime 2050 strategy focused on decarbonising shipping—was issued in its initial form in 2019. At the time of publication, it was envisaged that the Plan would be reviewed in 2022. The revision was later deferred to 2023: even on that timetable it is now substantially delayed.
Government response summary AI-generated
The government accepts the conclusion and commits to publishing the delayed maritime decarbonisation strategy shortly. It will provide a pathway to net zero with interim goals, policy interventions, a framework for support, and a timeline for delivery.
