MARITIME MASTERPLAN RECEIVES DUTCH GOVERNMENT BACKING

The Dutch government has awarded €210 million, of which €110 million conditional, from its National Growth Fund to the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management for the implementation of a ‘Maritime Master Plan’. Aiming to accelerate the maritime energy transition to reduce the industry’s environmental impact, the plan envisages the development, construction and commissioning of around 40 climate-neutral demonstration ships.

The vessels will run on alternative fuel – hydrogen or methanol – or liquefied natural gas with carbon capture, while their operations will be supported by a digital platform for data sharing and storage. They will help to secure the Netherlands’ position as an energy-transition leader in coastal and inland shipping, hydraulic engineering, offshore wind and maritime safety – markets in which the country already leads in shipbuilding and operations.

Join the discussion on the energy transition at Europort 2023, 7–10 November at Rotterdam Ahoy.

PARTNERSHIP KEY TO INDUSTRY'S LONG-TERM SUCCESS

As one of Europort’s core values, ‘Partnership & Friendship’ is also fundamental to the work of Europort 2023 exhibitor HEMEXPO. Christos Papakis discusses the importance of collaboration between equipment manufacturers and shipyards in helping the maritime industry to achieve its long-term goals.
