Regulatory barriers to moving towards zero-emission shipping in New Zealand
The Ministry of Transport works with counterparts in partner countries, and with stakeholders across the private sector, to facilitate and encourage the shift to zero-emission shipping.
To help facilitate the shift to zero-emission shipping, the Ministry commissioned Concept Consulting to identify barriers to zero-emission shipping in New Zealand’s regulatory system and propose high-level remedies.
The report was completed in 2024. It was intended to inform the Ministry, as well as other relevant government agencies, on where changes to the regulatory regime may be needed to support an orderly transition to zero-emission shipping.
