The Maritime & Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) and the Port of Rotterdam inked a memorandum of understanding to establish the green and digital corridor on the sidelines of the biennial World Cities Summit in Singapore.
As per the deal, both parties will develop the world’s longest green shipping corridor for low and zero carbon shipping. The two partners will look to bring together stakeholders across the supply chain to realise the first sustainable vessels sailing on the route by 2027.
The port authorities will work with the Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation and the Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero-Carbon Shipping as action partners, as well as other industry partners across the supply chain, including BP, CMA CGM, Digital Container Shipping Association, Maersk, MSC, Ocean Network Express, PSA International, and Shell for a start.
Being among the world’s largest bunkering hubs, the two ports agreed to bring together a broad coalition of shippers, fuel suppliers, and other companies to collectively work on potential solutions for alternative fuels such as synthetic methane, hydrogen, and hydrogen-based fuels including ammonia and methanol.
