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

在这个项目中，多佛港-加莱/敦刻尔克绿色走廊联盟的重点是多佛港（PoD）与加莱和敦刻尔克港口之间绿色走廊（GC）的开发和实施可行性。该项目以多佛-加来/敦刻尔克路线为可行性案例，并将为走廊提供可行的能源途径，提供实施GC的商业案例和交付计划，基于滚装/滚装（Ro/Ro）汽车、货车、卡车和载客渡轮。PoD是英国最繁忙的轮渡港口，占英国与欧盟贸易的33%，占英国与欧盟轮渡总量的59%。因此，对于PoD和加莱/敦刻尔克港口、港口客户以及英国来说，努力实现通往欧洲的最短通道的独特能力和弹性的未来是至关重要的。GCSS项目合作伙伴将合作8个月，以确定和分析整个价值链，并确定海洋和陆地船舶和车辆的可行能源途径选择。将对所有可行的能源途径进行从井到尾和从井到轮的分析，以评估每种途径的直接和间接环境影响。分析还将确定相关的法规和策略，GC将如何遵守这些法规，并确定成功实现GC所需的任何缺失的策略措施。该项目最终将产生一个GC商业案例和路线图，可用于扩大零排放船舶和相应的陆地基础设施的数量，同时也可以吸引私营部门的投资，并在其他地方复制该走廊。该项目不仅将支持PoD到2025年实现净零碳排放（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可以成为第一个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，该宣言在第26届缔约方会议上达成一致，并最终有助于实现英国“清洁海事计划”的零排放航运目标，设想英国到2050年成为全球清洁航运的领导者。它还将为客户提供一系列低碳选择，以在这条重要路线上运输乘客和货物。

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.
