HM Government
Accepted
The Government agrees. We will publish the updated Clean Maritime Plan by the end of 2023. The refresh will build on the achievements set out in the original Clean Maritime Plan and the Transport Decarbonisation Plan to deliver an ambitious, action-focused plan to accelerate maritime decarbonisation and reduce the environmental impact of the maritime sector. Building on the outcome of the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) negotiations on international shipping greenhouse gas emissions and as set out in the Transport Decarbonisation Plan, the refresh will include indicative targets for the domestic maritime sector to provide it with a roadmap to zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. In addition to these targets, the Plan will also include details of existing and future policy interventions, to provide further clarity to the sector. We will work closely with the Clean Maritime Council and the maritime sector to develop the Clean Maritime Plan.
