Summary of the green transport corridor and some new thinking!Trending Green Shipping Insight

On August 2nd, the Singapore Maritime and Port Authority (MPA) and Rotterdam Port Affairs signed a memorandum of cooperation (MOU) to establish Singapore-Rotterdan green and digital shipping corridors to achieve low-carbon and zero-carbon shipping.

The cooperation memorandum was signed by Quah Ley Hoon, director of the Singapore Maritime and Port Authority, and Allard Castelein, chief executive officer of Rotterdam Port. During the two -year World City Summit, the cooperation memorandum will bring together industries around the world. Related stakeholders on the chain to achieve the first sustainable ship operating on the route by 2027.

Singapore Minister of Communications and heads of trade relations, S.ISWARAN, and Ahmed Aboutaleb, mayor of Rotterdam, witnessed the signing ceremony.

It is said that this is the longest green shipping corridor announced in the world.

At the COP26 Glasgow Climate Conference in November last year, the "Crade Banak Declaration" was led by Britain and a total of 19 countries. In the end, as the initial signing party, 22 countries announced that 6 green shipping corridors would be established by 2025. After that, with the joining of Palau and Singapore, the Claders Declaration has now expanded to 24 signed countries.

What are the current international green shipping corridors announced

During the COP26 in November 2021, the port of Antwerp and Port Montereal signed a cooperation agreement to support the establishment of the first green shipping corridor in North Atlantic.

On January 28, Shanghai, Los Angeles, Shanghai Port (Passing the Shanghai Transportation Commission), Los Angeles Port and C40 City Climate Leadership Alliance (C40 Cities Climate Leader Ship Group) initiated the establishment of the "Shanghai-Los Angeles Green Shipping Corridor". To realize the transportation of ports to ports in the cleanest and low -carbon way between Shanghai Port and Los Angeles Port. The Long Beach Port, located next to Los Angeles Port, also announced its joining the corridor in June this year. It should now be called "Shanghai -Los Angeles/Long Beach Port Green Shipping Corridor".

On March 30, the Hong Kong affairs institutions of Matsky Mike Keni Mueller Zero Carbon Shipping Center and the Nordic Police Sea region launched an initiative, namely Polish Poland, Hamburg, Germany, Denmark in Denmark, and Denmark. Ronfan, Rotterdam Port in the Netherlands, and Tallinna Port in Estonia are preparing to establish a European Green Shipping Corridor Network.

During the Singapore Maritime Week on April 6, the Global Maritime Forum was led by Bettown, Lito, Oldendorff Carriers and Star Bulk Carriers Corp. to evaluate the Australia and East Asia. Development of iron ore green shipping corridors.

On April 13, at the "Our Ocean Conference" held in Palau, Chilean Energy and Maski Mike Kenny Mueller Zero Carbon Shipping Center announced a formal agreement to establish a green color Shipping Corridor Network. The project is supported by the Ministry of Communications, Telecommunications and Foreign Department, and is currently named the Chilean Green Coridors Network.

On May 3rd, the Nordic Climate and Environment Minister Conference announced at Oslo that countries would work together to establish a zero -emission green shipping corridor between the ports of Nordic regions. The Ministerial Meeting approved a pilot project, including drawing a specific Nordic internal shipping route to achieve zero discharge shipping. The work will be led by DNV, and the project has received 1 million Dan Yingkerad.

On May 17, at the World Port Conference held in Vancouver, ports and cruise companies in the northwest of Pacific announced their plans to explore and create the world's first "Green Shipping Corridor" for the cruise field. Including the Port of Seattle, Alaska Juno City and District, Vancouver Fraser Port Affairs and some world -leading cruise companies, International Cruise Association (CLIA), and Global Maritime Forum, Blue Sky Maritime Alliance, and Washington Maritime Blue have led the cruise ship The green corridor reached a "cruise pioneer commitment".

On May 26, the Lawli Maritime Deserting Center announced that it cooperated with 11 industry leaders to cooperate with the relevant parties of cross -supply chain interests to formulate the fleet fuel transformation strategy to build a highly scalable green corridor cluster. The establishment of the "Silk Road Alliance" is committed to container ships operating in Singapore and most of Asia to formulate a fuel transformation strategy for specific fleets. In the initial stage, these members will jointly issue comprehensive demand requirements to other stakeholders (fuel suppliers, port operators, governments, etc.) to support the green shipping corridor cluster.

Some new thinking on the green shipping corridor

Let us first consider the time goal. The green shipping corridor is not as simple as an electric light switch. It takes years to deploy these zero -carbon ships and its support infrastructure. Therefore, the Green Shipping Corridor is a commitment to strive to achieve zero discharge operation before the designated date. Without a firm commitment date, the corridor became a empty commitment. The Green Shipping Corridor of Shanghai-Los Angeles Port announced that it includes "gradually adopting low-carbon, ultra-low-carbon and zero-carbon fuel ships in the 2020s, and will be launched in the world's first cross-Pacific zero-carbon container by 2030." The US framework document also also It is clearly stipulated that the corridor is not late to achieve zero emissions in 2050. Secondly, the Green Shipping Corridor needs to have a clear boundary in terms of geographical and emission. The Green Corridor is not only involved in a ship, but also a route formed by many ships, as well as ships and land infrastructure and equipment that provides services to these ships. For example, large container ships need to drag boats, fuel supply ships and navigable ships when they stop at port; when the ship is loaded and unloaded in the dock, shore cranes, forklifts, trailers, and many other cargo loading and unloading equipment are involved. Are these supporting team vehicles, equipment and ships in the green shipping corridor? If the goal is to accelerate the use of low -carbon fuels and technology, these auxiliary ships, equipment and vehicles can become an effective demand driver and promote the production of low -carbon fuel.

So far, most of the discussions about the Green Shipping Corridor are concentrated on the cross-ocean trading routes, such as the Shanghai-Los Angeles route mentioned above. These shipping corridors cover a long distance, which means that the ships on these routes are also quite large. For various reasons, compared with other vehicles and ships, such large ships will be the most difficult to decapacan. This may mean the longest range of these routes. Small ships on shorter routes may be easier to decarcar within a short period of time. Therefore, we should not ignore the value of short -distance shipping routes as feasible green shipping corridors. The coastal ferry routes, inland waterways and rivers can all become potential green shipping corridors.

Third, the Green Shipping Corridor needs to show better continuous progress than previous performance. This means that the baseline of discharge, shipping capacity and other key indicators needs to be established, and then monitor it over time. Without a baseline assessment, monitoring, and evaluation system, the established goals of the Green Shipping Corridor are difficult to achieve. As mentioned above, the green corridor discharged by zero -greenhouse gas will not happen overnight, so the progress of continuous and progressive progress is essential. If there is no clear and agreed definition or third -party certification agency, the Green Shipping Corridor may show many different forms.

With the release of more new green shipping corridors, please use a critical perspective to evaluate these announcements. Evaluate the time goals, influence and scope of the route, and how it will achieve its goals. We need to ensure that these names are not used as meaningless brand tools, but they truly accelerate the realization of the shipping industry to achieve completely decarburized.
