The Ningbo-Zhoushan Port announced on 27 May three green shipping corridor initiatives it has undertaken in collaboration with three major European ports.
As announced, the Ningbo-Zhoushan Port and the Ports of Hamburg and Wilhelmshaven in Germany as well as the Port of Valencia in Spain have agreed to construct green shipping corridors aiming to advance low-carbon port cooperation between China and Europe.
Under the initiatives to decarbonize international shipping, the ports involved will work with shipping lines, cargo owners, energy providers, research institutions and other stakeholders to promote zero-carbon technology, clean fuels and smart management systems on designated routes.
Furthermore, key actions include constructing and utilizing shore power infrastructure, optimizing freight distribution networks, adopting renewable energy solutions and scaling up clean fuel bunkering, with the goal of creating corridors with net-zero carbon emissions from starting port to terminal port.
We aim to work closely with ports and shipping companies under the Belt and Road Initiative to support the global green transformation of ports and shipping.
…said Tao Chengbo, chairman of the Ningbo-Zhoushan Port Group.
