    The Green Shipping Corridor Program see more

    Please note that the period for submitting an application under the Clean Vessel Demonstration and Clean Ports streams has been extended from February 26, 2024 to March 11, 2024.

    The Green Shipping Corridor Program (GSCP) provides funding for projects that contribute to the establishment of green shipping corridors and the decarbonization of the marine sector along the Great Lakes, the St. Lawrence Seaway as well as Canada’s East and West Coasts by:

    -removing barriers to the adoption of emission reducing equipment and infrastructure

    -incentivizing industry-led partnerships and investments to accelerate the adoption of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission-reduction technologies and infrastructure

    -de-risking investments to increase the technology-readiness level of low carbon and zero-emission ship technology and marine fuels for the domestic vessel fleet

    -building capacity among Canadian vessel owner/operators with respect to their ability to identify, plan and implement next generation low carbon and zero-emission ship technology and marine fuels into their vessel operations

    -GSCP allocates funding through two streams that have been designed to contribute to the achievement of program objectives by supporting projects focused on the implementation of clean technologies along the shipping value chain on shore and on vessels.

    Clean Ports Stream

    The Clean Ports Stream will provide $127.2M in contribution funding over four years between 2024-25 to 2027-28 for projects targeting onshore equipment and infrastructure investments at ports and terminals, (for example, commercially available shore power, electrification of port equipment, vessel charging and clean fuel infrastructure), and funding to ports to establish/augment incentive programs to help attract clean vessels.

    Clean Vessel Demonstration Stream

    The Clean Vessel Demonstration Stream will provide $22.5M in grant and contribution funding over five years from 2023-24 to 2027-28 for projects with the goal of increasing the technology readiness of leading-edge low- and zero-emission vessel technologies; addressing potential barriers to the deployment of clean vessel innovations in Canada; and building Canadian industry's capacity to adopt decarbonization solutions for their vessels.

    Project is anticipated to more than quadruple trade volumes through the port over a 30-year horizon see more

    Andrew Furey, Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador, recently announced $15.1M in funding to support the Port of Argentia Cooper Cove Marine Terminal Expansion Project through the Innovation and Business Development Fund (IBDF).

    “This comes on top of the $38 million committed by then federal Transport Minister Omar Alghabra last July under the National Trade Corridors Fund,” said Ray Greene, the port’s Manager of Development and Marketing.

     The $60 million, multi-year program, being administered by the Department of Industry, Energy and Technology, was established in 2018 to grow and diversify the Province’s oil and gas supply and service capabilities. In response to the growing renewable energy sector, the program guidelines have been updated to include backing initiatives in renewable energy.

    Port of Argentia will carry out the project to develop a multi-purpose, marine support and service base in the area of Cooper Cove in Argentia Harbour. It is designed to support the Province’s growing offshore industry as well as innovative renewable energy projects.

    Transport Canada’s Green Shipping Corridor Program see more

    Under Pillar 4 of the Strategy – Greening Marine Transportation – Ontario aims to build an environmentally sustainable marine sector and an overall greener provincial transportation network by supporting low-carbon initiatives, including alternative fuels research. As part of the actions under this pillar, Ontario is committed to working with the federal government to support Transport Canada’s Canadian Green Shipping Corridor Framework goal of a net-zero path by 2050 for Canada’s marine sector.

    As you may be aware, on December 1st, Transport Canada announced the creation of the Green Shipping Corridor Program and launched a call for proposals under the program. There are a few upcoming deadlines that we would like to bring to your attention:

       For the Clean Vessel Demonstration Stream – Grants, applications must be received by Transport Canada before 11:59 pm Pacific Standard Time (PST) on January 22, 2024 (*Please note that this deadline has been extended from January 8, 2024, according to email communications from Transport Canada).

     

    More details about the program and various streams can be found in the links above, including Transport Canada’s program contact information for any questions. We would like to highlight this opportunity, as it might be of interest to your organization. You are encouraged to review program information carefully and to stay connected with Transport Canada for any updates or communications regarding the program.

    Thank you,

    Ontario Marine Partnership and Development Office
