What are the challenges to the implementation of green corridors and how accurate have previous feasibility studies been for successful green corridors elsewhere?

Background

We aim to foster sustainable economic growth in the UK maritime sector and to remain a key global player in international trade and shipping. To build supply chain resilience and establish effective green shipping corridors, we must remain well-informed of global developments so to better support UK ports, shippers, and vessel operators.
