The Government has proposed to establish the National Centre of Excellence in Green Port and Shipping recently. The Centre aims to identify the technologies, alternative fuels, renewable energy sources and targets for the shipping and port sector to reduce GHG emissions. The legal framework developed by the centre will support research and cooperation on green shipping and will aid to formulate policy that will best suit the industry. The Centre will work with all ports, shipping companies, and maritime states to understand their problems and offer solutions based on research.
