Green Corridor at Short Straits (GCSS): feasibility study into establishing a Green Corridor between Port of Dover and the Ports of Calais and Dunkirk

在该项目中，多佛-加莱/敦刻尔克绿色走廊联合体专注于在多佛尔港(POD)与加莱和敦刻尔克港之间实施绿色走廊(GC)的开发和可行性。该项目将多佛-加莱/敦刻尔克路线作为其可行性案例，并将研究走廊的可行能源路径，为实施基于滚装、滚装(Ro/Ro)轿车、货车、卡车和载客渡轮的GC提供业务案例和交付计划。Pod是英国最繁忙的渡口，承担了英国与欧盟33%的贸易，以及英国与欧盟所有渡轮流量的59%。因此，努力建立一个能够可持续地提供通往欧洲的最短通道的独特能力和弹性的未来，对于吊舱和加莱/敦刻尔克港以及英国的港口客户来说都是至关重要的。GCS项目合作伙伴将合作8个月，以确定和分析整个价值链，并为海上和陆地船舶和车辆确定可行的能源路径选择。将完成对所有可行能源路径的Well-to-Wake和Well-to-Wheels分析，以评估每条路径的直接和间接环境影响。分析还将确定相关的法规和政策，地方政府将如何遵守这些法规，并确定成功实施地方政府所需的任何缺失的政策措施。该项目最终将产生一个GC业务案例和路线图，既可用于扩大零排放船舶的数量和相应的陆地基础设施，也可用于吸引私营部门投资并在其他地方复制走廊。该项目不仅将支持吊舱到2025年实现零碳净额(范围1和2)的雄心，还将确保代表整个港口、区域系统和投资界的财团成员能够成为第一个GC的一部分。该项目还将有助于支持英国对《克莱德班克宣言》的承诺，该宣言是在缔约方会议第26届会议上达成的，并最终有助于实现英国“清洁航运计划”的零排放航运雄心，设想到2050年，英国将成为清洁航运的全球领导者。它还将为客户提供一系列低碳选择，在这条至关重要的路线上运送乘客和货物。

In this project the Dover-Calais/Dunkirk Green Corridor consortium focuses on the development and feasibility of implementing a green corridor (GC) between the Port of Dover (PoD) and the Ports of Calais and Dunkirk. The project takes the Dover--Calais/Dunkirk route, as its feasibility case and will investigate viable energy pathways for the corridor providing a business case and delivery plan for the implementation of a GC, based on roll on, roll off (Ro/Ro) car, van, truck, and passenger carrying ferry vessels. PoD is the busiest ferry port in the UK, responsible for 33% of UK-EU trade, and 59% of all UK-EU ferry movements. Therefore, working towards a future where the unique capacity and resilience of the shortest crossing to Europe can be sustainably delivered is of utmost importance to both PoD and the Ports of Calais/Dunkirk, for port customers, as well as the UK.The GCSS project partners will collaborate for eight months to identify and analyse the full value chain and determine viable energy pathway options for both marine and landside vessels and vehicles. A Well-to-Wake and Well-to-Wheel analysis will be completed on all viable energy pathways to assess direct and indirect environmental impacts for each pathway. The analysis will also identify relevant regulations and policy, how a GC would comply with these regulations and identify any missing policy measures that are required to successfully implement a GC. The project will ultimately produce a GC business case and route map that can be used to both scale up the number of zero-emission vessels and corresponding landside infrastructure, but also to attract private sector investment and replicate the corridor elsewhere.The project will not only support PoD's ambition to be carbon net-zero (for scope 1 and 2) by 2025 but also ensures the consortium members, representing the whole port, regional systems, and the investment community can be a part of the first GC. The project will also help support the UK's commitment to the Clydebank Declaration, which was agreed at COP 26, and ultimately help meet the zero emission shipping ambitions of the UK's 'Clean Maritime Plan', envisaging the UK as a global leader in clean shipping by 2050\. It will also allow customers a range of low carbon choices to transport passengers and freight on this vital route.
