The total investment will help finance three main assets: ships equipped with environmentally friendly technologies that use more efficient or alternative fuels; innovative port equipment and infrastructure to promote the ecological transition, as well as assets that support the development of renewable energy at sea.
Five months after its launch, the ESMI fund has carried out its first transaction with a subsidiary of the German Harren & Partner financing a self-lifting vessel used for construction, repair and maintenance of offshore wind farms in Europe that it is currently used in the North Sea for the wind farm German Nordsee One.
Highlighting that, "given the large quantity of goods transported every day on our oceans, it is certain that the Maritime sector will have to make an important contribution to the our goal of carbon neutrality by 2050", the European Commissioner for the Economy, Paolo Gentiloni, underlined that 'the fact that the Investment Plan for Europe stands helping to support this infrastructure fund Sustainable maritime is very good news. This transaction - explained Gentiloni - lays the foundations for substantial funding in support of more sustainable ships and port infrastructure, aimed at promoting the development of renewable energy at sea'.
