Modern Terminals and CLPe have teamed up to explore low-carbon technologies and develop an electrification roadmap for container port operations in Hong Kong.<\/p>\n
Under the agreement, the companies will examine onshore power systems for container vessels, battery-swapping solutions for container tractors, charging infrastructure for electric vehicles and mobile equipment, and power infrastructure for electric barges.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe partnership between Modern Terminals and CLPe marks a significant milestone in the green transformation of the container terminal operations, and a landmark moment for Hong Kong\u2019s maritime industry to accelerate port electrification and maritime decarbonisation,\u201d said Amy Chan, deputy secretary for transport and logistics and commissioner for maritime and port development.<\/p>\n
The collaboration supports Modern Terminals\u2019 target of eliminating direct greenhouse gas emissions from its operations by 2030. Group managing director Horace Lo said advances in battery technology had made electrification a key long-term pathway, alongside alternative green fuels.<\/p>\n
He added that achieving the company\u2019s decarbonisation objectives would require strong support from the power sector, while also helping shipping lines and barge operators transition towards lower-carbon operations.<\/p>\n
CLPe managing director Ringo Ng said: \u201cDecarbonising the maritime sector is vital to Hong Kong\u2019s competitiveness as an international maritime centre.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said the company was committed to advancing Hong Kong\u2019s development as a green and smart port, with the partnership aiming to deliver integrated solutions that could establish new benchmarks for sustainable port operations.<\/p>\n
The memorandum of understanding also aligns with the Hong Kong SAR Government\u2019s strategic initiatives to accelerate maritime decarbonisation and strengthen the city\u2019s position as an international maritime hub.<\/p>\n
Following the signing, the companies will undertake feasibility studies and technical assessments of the proposed initiatives. These will inform a phased electrification roadmap designed to support Modern Terminals\u2019 long-term sustainability goals and guide investment in port infrastructure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
