Eurazeo has launched the Sustainable Maritime Infrastructure thematic fund (the Fund). The goal is to finance more environmentally friendly infrastructure and technologies in the maritime sector, which support the transition to a low carbon economy. The Fund will mainly finance three types of infrastructure- ships equipped with technologies to negate or cut environmental harm, innovative harbor equipment and assets contributing to the development of offshore renewable energy.

The Fund will support around 50 European facilities focused on the transition of the maritime economy to become carbon neutral by 2050. Several renowned sovereign and institutional investors have already confirmed their involvement in the Fund, which has a target size of EUR 300 million (US$ 361 million).
