The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA), the Port of Long Beach, the Port of Los Angeles and C40 Cities have started discussions to establish a green shipping and digital corridor between Singapore and the San Pedro Bay port complex. . The corridor will focus on low and zero carbon bunker fuels, as well as digital tools to support their deployment.
This collaborative effort supports the Green Shipping Challenge launched during the World Leaders Summit at the 27th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP27) in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, this week. Convened by the United States and Norway, the Green Shipping Challenge encourages governments, ports, carriers, cargo owners and others in the shipping value chain to commit to concrete steps at COP27 to drive action global decarbonisation of the maritime transport sector.
As hub ports, Singapore, Long Beach and Los Angeles are vital nodes in the trans-Pacific shipping lanes and key players in the green transition of the maritime sector. The three ports and C40 Cities will work closely with other stakeholders in the maritime and energy value chains to accelerate the deployment of low and zero carbon solutions, identify digital shipping programs and develop green fuel sources for supply of fuel to support the efficient movement of cargo.
In addition to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the green and digital maritime corridor aims to catalyze investment in green infrastructure, including zero-carbon energy centers linked to port and maritime demand.
