European Maritime Space and Inland ports (AFIF) - works
Pays up to EUR 5 million per vessel to fit ships with cleaner propulsion, and funds onshore power supply at TEN-T ports, from a EUR 200 million pot.
European Maritime Space and Inland Ports (AFIF) — Works is a European Commission call that pays up to EUR 5 million per vessel to fit ships with cleaner propulsion, plus onshore power supply at TEN-T ports, from a EUR 200 million pot. Applicants submit a works-only proposal in a single round. Support only covers the fitting or retrofitting cost of a vessel's own power and propulsion system -- land…
This call wants onshore power and charging infrastructure at TEN-T maritime and inland ports, plus the fitting or retrofitting of ferries and short-sea or inland waterway vessels with electric, hybrid, hydrogen, ammonia, methanol or biomethane propulsion and wind-assisted systems. Eligible vessels must be at least 2,000 gross tonnes (or, for inland waterways, over 20 metres carrying more than 12 passengers) and fly an EU flag.
