A range of responses were subsequently provided on costs associated with shore power and emissions data across different locations in the UK. There was a shared acknowledgement that there were several variables associated with the costs of shore power uptake and the level of GHG and air pollutant emissions at berth. Overall, 73% of respondents were supportive of shore power as one of the available technologies to reduce emissions at berth, 12% were completely against it and 15% provided a neutral response. We will be publishing a consultation later this year with policy proposals influenced by this evidence. This document is a summary of responses and does not represent the government’s position or offer a formal response to the evidence given. This document summarises the points raised by respondents under key themes. The call for evidence invited respondents to submit their views and any available data on 22 questions. In February 2022, we published this call for evidence to gather evidence on the impact and implications of shore power in reducing emissions to help inform further policy development work. The plan included a commitment to consult on how the government can support the wider deployment of shore power, including consideration of regulatory interventions, for both vessels and ports, that could drive deployment as we transition to a net zero world. In July 2021, the government published a transport decarbonisation plan, which set out the commitments and actions needed to decarbonise the UK transport system including maritime. This highlights the importance of the government’s plans to decarbonise the sector. This was more than domestic rail and bus emissions combined. While shipping is generally a relatively carbon efficient mode for transporting freight, UK domestic maritime vessels represented around 5% of the UK’s domestic transport greenhouse gas ( GHG) emissions in 2020. options to enable the rollout of this technology.benefits of shore power, including the potential for emission reductions.This call for evidence invited views on different aspects of supporting the deployment of shore power and the provision of shoreside electrical power to a docked vessel while its engines are shut down in the UK. This document summarises the responses to the Department for Transport’s call for evidence on shore power, which ran between 7 February 2022 and 25 April 2022.
