Shipping and Maritime grants

7 listings tracked right now

Grants and contracts for zero-emission vessels, green fuels and port decarbonisation. Typical sources are the EU Innovation Fund and Horizon, the IMO and bilateral programmes, US MARAD, and corporate shipping offtake for green ammonia and methanol. Listed below are the open shipping and maritime grant calls in that landscape, taken from each funder's own notice and re-checked on every refresh.

Transport grants come from transport and energy departments, the EU through Horizon and the Connecting Europe Facility, and sector-specific programmes for aviation and shipping such as Clean Aviation and the IMO-linked funds. Vehicle and vessel programmes usually require a demonstration partner already in place, and eligibility often depends on where the asset will operate rather than on where the applicant is registered.

This page lists open shipping and maritime grants currently tracked by Raise Lens — 7 of them right now, sorted with the soonest deadline first. Every listing has been classified against the sustainability taxonomy rather than matched on keywords, so what appears here is shipping and maritime work rather than anything whose description happens to mention it.

5 distinct funders are publishing the shipping and maritime grants on this page. Who is funding matters as much as what: eligibility, reporting burden and the realistic timeline to a decision vary far more between funders than between individual calls, which is why the listing names the funder on every opportunity it opens.

1 of these close within the next 30 days. Deadlines are taken from the source listing and re-checked on every refresh, but the originating funder remains the authority — always confirm against the official notice before you submit.
