The European Green Deal refers to the need to achieve clean, climate neutral shipping and waterborne operations and to the importance of research and innovation in this respect. Waterborne transport, in particular where large sea-going vessels are used, remains an important emitter of GHG and the sector needs to step up its efforts on a significant scale and through a wide range of measures. Projects will address technologies and solutions for minimizing time-to-recharge, by ensuring a recharging system of at least 5 MW capacities. No specific type of connection (either physical or inductive) is preferred. The award value is EUR 14 000 000.
