CANADA's Minister of Transport, Pablo Rodriguez, has announced the creation of the Green Shipping Corridor Programme - an investment of US$165.4 million - and launched a call for proposals under the programme.
The aim is to establish green shipping corridors and help decarbonize the marine sector in major shipping areas along the Great Lakes, the St Lawrence Seaway, and Canada's East and West Coasts, reports London's Port Technology.
In addition, the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources of Canada, Jonathan Wilkinson, was at the Port of Vancouver on December 1 to echo the announcement.
The programme will be delivered through the following two streams of funding, both of which will contribute to reducing Canada's pollution in the marine sector and to the development of green shipping corridors that ensure shipping is clean and reliable: The Clean Ports stream, which will provide funding to support the adoption of clean technology and infrastructure at ports and terminals; and The Clean Vessel Demonstration stream, which will provide funding to study, test, and pilot clean fuel propulsion systems for shipping vessels.
Applications for funding under the two streams started from December 1 through Transport Canada's website.
This programme will reportedly support the delivery of innovative projects in the marine sector to help keep Canada's economy growing strong, ensure goods get to Canadians, and keep the air clean.
