Freight: Grants

Question

To ask Her Majesty's Government how many maritime operators have used the (1) Mode Shift Revenue Support, and (2) Waterborne Freight Grant, schemes.

Answer

There are no currently supported flows by inland waterways and there have been none during the last three financial years since April 2019. This scheme is open to all freight operators, including maritime operators, who wish to move freight through inland water freight transport instead of road, where inland waterway transport is more expensive.

There have been no projects supported by the Waterborne Freight Grant during the last three financial years since April 2019. This scheme is also open to all freight operators, including maritime operators, who wish to run waterborne freight transport instead of road, where transport by water is more expensive.
