The UK’s busiest Roll-On, Roll-Off (Ro-Ro) port, Dover, is grappling with the challenge of decarbonising its operations amid national and global climate goals.

Efforts to decarbonise the port are under way, with electrification of port equipment a major part, but as writers James Niemann and Stuart Hillmansen, from the University of Birmingham, explain in the second report for Maritime Journal, full carbon neutrality will be impossible without either a 100% renewable UK energy grid or substantially offsetting carbon.
