Plymouth has the largest fleet of boats of any British higher education institution, and we’re proud to be the only university in the UK recognised as carbon neutral, having retained our PAS 2060 verification last year.

This new net zero emission vessel may be relatively small, but it is a big step forward that will benefit students and colleagues.

It provides significant research and education opportunities and is a vital part of our collaborations working towards decarbonisation across the maritime sector.

It is a physical demonstration of our continued commitment to sustainability and protecting the marine environment.
