Commercial vessels calling at Mormugao Port will be offered an incentive if they not only adhere but enhance compliance with environment-friendly norms, particularly ships that use efficient engines and which reduce emissions. Mormugao Port Authority (MPA) will offer discounts on port charges if ships emit no nitrogen oxides and sulphur oxides. In doing so, MPA is the first port in the country to introduce a scheme that incentivises environment-friendly ships. The port’s ‘Harit Shrey’ scheme takes into account the environmental ship index (ESI) score of a vessel that docks at the port. Mormugao Port, in its continuous efforts to implement the initiative, declared the ‘green ship’ incentive to incentivise vessels having good ESI scores, becoming the first port to introduce incentives for green ships.
