Description
This competition, delivered by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) in partnership with the Department for Transport (DfT), aims to fund pre-deployment trials of innovative clean maritime technologies. The goal is to accelerate the development, testing, and future deployment of solutions that reduce emissions and improve sustainability in the UK maritime sector. Projects must involve UK-registered organisations working collaboratively and focus on land-based testing of technologies for vessels or maritime infrastructure, underpinning future real-world deployment.
