On July 11, Britain's maritime minister announced that all new ships ordered from 2025 onwards and destined for its waters must be equipped with zero emission technology in an effort to curb maritime pollution. The new requirements are part of the Clean Maritime Plan that includes a competition to find innovative ways to reduce maritime emissions and a call for evidence to reduce emissions in the United Kingdom's (UK's) waterways and on its domestic vessels. The plan is part of the government's Clean Air Strategy, which aims to curb air pollution across all sectors and help the UK fulfill its commitment to achieve net zero emissions by 2050.
