Scotland opts for greenports instead of freeports January 22, 2021, by Naida Hakirevic
Scotland has unveiled plans to establish a new model of greenports focused on inclusive growth, fair work practices and delivering a net-zero economy.
The move, announced by Scottish Trade Minister
Ivan McKee, comes in response to the UK government’s freeport policy that is part of the country’s post-Brexit strategy. Under the policy, the UK would create about ten freeports in locations across the country.
