Invitation to workshop at DNV 6th of March 2025 – Addressing the cost gap for green shipping corridors

As part of the Nordic Roadmap – Future Fuels for Shipping project we would like to invite you to a 1-day workshop to discuss how public funding can support the realization of the first Nordic Green Shipping Corridors – zero-emission shipping routes between Nordic countries. The workshop will bring together industry stakeholders working to realize green shipping corridors, public entities in the Nordics and EU providing funding for green shipping corridors, and private financial institutions. Through an interactive workshop, the industry and the public and private funding entities will explore options for how public funding could contribute to realizing the first Nordic green corridors. The workshop is supported by the Green Shipping Program
