The UK government on Thursday launched a 30-year strategy seeking to establish the country as a pre-eminent global test-bed for emerging technology in the maritime industry.
The new strategy, known as Maritime 2050, seeks to capitalize on the economic potential of maritime innovations. It outlines a range of short, medium and long-term proposals, including developing technology, people, and infrastructure, that officials hope will enable the country to remain a world-leader in the maritime industry for the next 30 years.
Part of the strategy includes establishing an innovation hub at a UK port by 2030, looking at ways to clean up emissions from the industry, and building on world-class training for seafarers.
