The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA), Port of Los Angeles, Port of Long Beach, and C40 Cities have joined forces for the creation of a green and digital shipping corridor between Singapore and the San Pedro Bay port complex.

To support the Green Shipping Challenge (GSC), these entities have started talks to form a new corridor that will promote low and zero-carbon fuels for bunkering as well as digital tools for the deployment of low and zero-carbon ships.

With the aim of supporting decarbonisation in the shipping industry, the GSC encourages governments, ports, maritime carriers and cargo owners to implement better actions in the shipping value chain.

The Singapore, Los Angeles and Long Beach hub ports are said to be crucial nodes on the trans-Pacific shipping lanes and major stakeholders in the maritime sector’s green transition.

To boost the deployment of low and zero-carbon emission solutions and identify digital shipping programmes, the three ports and C40 Cities will coordinate with other stakeholders in the maritime and energy value chains.
