The memorandum of understanding will see the companies joining \u2018The Silk Alliance\u2019 to create a green corridor to trial decarbonisation strategies for container ships operating primarily in Asia.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Silk Alliance will enable key stakeholders in Singapore to chart the transition towards low- and zero-carbon options,\u201d said Teo Eng Dih, chief executive of MPA.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs the world\u2019s largest transshipment container port and bunkering hub, Singapore will take active steps to support the decarbonisation of the container trade in line with IMO\u2019s revised strategy to reduce emissions from shipping.\u201d<\/p>\n
Launched in May 2022, The Silk Alliance is a cross-industry initiative to create a zero-emissions fleet, initially bunkered in Singapore, that sails across Asia, East Africa, the Middle East, Australia, and the Pacific Islands.<\/p>\n
Inaugural members include PSA, MSC Shipmanagement, Pacific International Lines, W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4, Wilhelmsen Ship Management and the Asian Development Bank and ING. This latest signing by MPA and LR MDH will help establish the supply of low- and zero-carbon fuel options.<\/p>\n
LR MDH, which is a joint initiative between Lloyd\u2019s Register Group and Lloyd\u2019s Register Foundation, won the International Maritime Organisation-MPA NextGEN Connect Challenge for the \u2018Development of a Route-based Action Plan Methodology based on The Silk Alliance\u2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
