The Swedish Government has given approval for Ports of Stockholm to apply for EU grant funding for pilot studies to develop onshore power infrastructure.

The process will be undertaken in conjunction with eight other Baltic Sea ports seeking funding from the EU Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) that aim to gain support for facilities enabling more sustainable shipping with low air pollutant emissions. The application is called ‘Baltic Ports for Climate’ and partners are Aarhus, Klaipeda, Ventspils, Helsinki, Riga, Tallinn, Gdynia, and Hamburg.
