The memorandum of understanding has been signed under the aegis of the NextGEN Connect initiative and the GreenVoyage2050 Project and cements the partners\u2019 commitment to creating a greener maritime industry.<\/p>\n
\u201cIMO is pleased to combine the capabilities of the IMO-Norway GreenVoyage2050 project and the IMO-Singapore NextGEN Connect initiative to collectively implement green shipping activities, in particular those that can support development of low and zero-carbon fuels and related bunkering infrastructure,\u201d said Kitack Lim, Secretary-General of the IMO.<\/p>\n
The NextGEN Connect initiative was established between the IMO and the MPA in April 2022 to bring industry and academia together to explore decarbonisation in shipping.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis MoU is an important partnership that brings together our projects with the mutual goal to test solutions along shipping routes,\u201d commented Teo Eng Dih, chief executive of the MPA.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions from shipping in an inclusive manner and with the support of like-minded states, aggregate demand along the supply chain,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
The IMO-Norway GreenVoyage2050 Project was established in May 2019 by the IMO with funding from Norway to help developing countries implement the Initial IMO Strategy on the Reduction of GHG Emissions from Ships.<\/p>\n
\u201cJoining forces through this cooperation will strengthen the support to decarbonising the maritime sector in developing countries,\u201d said Sveinung Oftedal, chief negotiator of the Norwegian Ministry of Climate and Environment.<\/p>\n
