About the CMDC

CMDC, part of UK SHORE supported the design and development of zero emission shipping technologies and greener ports through a series of technology trials and feasibility studies to accelerate maritime decarbonisation.

About the event

To celebrate the achievements of the CMDC, DfT, Innovate UK and Innovate UK KTN hosted a final showcase event on the 14^th September as part of LISW.

This event included an exhibition showcasing the results of the feasibility studies.
