At COP26 in Glasgow, the Government has launched the Clydebank Declaration. 19 countries have declared their ambition and intent to support the establishment of green shipping corridors – zero-emission shipping routes between 2 ports.

Reacting to the news, Chamber Environment Policy Director Anna Ziou said:

“We are delighted to see 19 countries sign up to the Clydebank Declaration. The creation of zero emission shipping lanes is an important step on the journey towards a net zero future. It is vital that governments support operators and port infrastructure so the ambition of the declaration becomes a reality.”

‘’The Chamber is looking forward to working with the UK Government and other industry stakeholders to turn this ambition into action’’
