What’s in this Report?

Electrifying waterborne transport has tangible benefits for cities on coasts and rivers, including emission reductions, as well as noise and fuel efficiency.

But there’s no single pathway to achieve this goal. From retrofitting existing ICE vessels to commissioning new designs, the transition needs coherence in procurement and infrastructure readiness.

For authorities and operators making this transition, this framework offers a fair, transparent, and technically sound tendering process to encourage innovation and sustainability towards a zero-emission future.
