Q. Which ministry recently launched the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for Green Tug Transition Program (GTTP)?
Answer:
Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways
Notes: The Union Minister of Port Shipping and Waterways launched the Green Tug Transition Program (GTTP). The program aims to replace diesel-powered harbour tugs with zero-emission green tugs at Indian Major Ports. Objectives of GTTP include reducing carbon emissions and promoting the use of sustainable fuels in maritime operations. It is a key step toward decarbonizing the operations of Indian ports by phasing out conventional fuel-based tugs.
