Description

Innovate UK part of United Kingdom Research and Innovation (UKRI), in partnership with the UK Department for Transport and the Norwegian Maritime Authority, is looking to appoint a supplier to conduct a pre-feasibility study investigating Green Corridor routes between the UK and Norway.

Total Quantity or Scope

Innovate UK part of United Kingdom Research and Innovation (UKRI), in partnership with the UK Department for Transport and the Norwegian Ministry of Climate and Environment, will fund one pre-feasibility study investigating Green Corridor routes between the UK and Norway. The pre-feasibility study will inform future national and international policy and research decisions and the results will be used by UK and Norway government, industry and academia. A Green Shipping Corridor is a maritime route, between two or more ports, on which scalable zero emission (well-to-wake) vessels are demonstrated and supported. This involves sourcing or production of scalable zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emission fuel or energy and arrangements for its transportation and distribution, putting in place storage and refuelling or recharging infrastructure in port, securing any electrical grid infrastructure, and deploying zero GHG emission capable vessels to operationally demonstrate zero-emission shipping on a given route. Corridors must, therefore, be a collaboration across the full shipping value chain. The supplier will be required to: A.Engage with UK and Norwegian organisations which includes identification, engagement and full buy in from all Green Corridor stakeholders. Stakeholders include (but are not limited to) ports, vessel owners / operators, supply chains, industry associations and government organisations. B.Include a Norwegian stakeholder or cooperating partner with expertise and networks in the Norwegian maritime sector. C.Collect and analyse the data and evidence provided by Green Corridor stakeholders. Analysis must stand up to scrutiny and be performed from a position of scientific validity. D.Produce a comprehensive report on the environmental, technology, commercial, economic and regulatory (vessel and port) findings from the analysis. E.Provide a comprehensive analysis of at least three case study Green Corridor routes between the UK and Norway and produce a detailed roadmap that shows how to achieve demonstrations of these routes. F.Report periodically on the progress of the pre-feasibility study. Reporting requirements will be agreed with Innovate UK and DfT with Norwegian governmental organisations providing consent for tailored public releases. The supplier will be required to conduct a comprehensive review of current and future routes between the two countries. This pre-feasibility study will commence in October 2024 and conclude in March 2025.
