The Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the National Energy Administration issued a notice on issuing the “Action Plan for Promotion and Application of New Energy Ships in Inland Waterways”. Accelerate the application of electric ships in passenger and freight scenarios within 300 kilometers and less than 3,000 dwt. Promote the application of electric cargo ships in short- and medium-haul container and dry bulk transportation scenarios such as inland waterways with relatively fixed routes or direct river-sea routes; promote electric passenger ships in scenes such as sightseeing and ferries in riverside and lake reservoirs. Encourage the use of battery power on official ships, harbor ships, yachts, etc. Increase the promotion and application of methanol-powered ships in long-distance, large-tonnage freight scenarios. Focus on long-distance transportation scenarios such as direct river-sea access and river-sea intermodal transport, and promote methanol-powered ships for containers, bulk goods, and Ro-Ro transportation. All regions are encouraged to explore other energy applications such as hydrogen energy, taking into account the actual situation. Support marine applications of renewable energy such as biodiesel and green methanol.
