Singapore-San Pedro Green Corridor

The three ports have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) as part of the C40 Cities network and other stakeholders in the maritime and energy value chains with the objective of accelerating decarbonisation within the maritime industry. These goals are consistent with the objectives of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), and relevant authorities in both the US and Singapore.

This green and digital shipping corridor is specifically seeking to help support a transition to low and, eventually, zero-emission fuels by all ships calling in the San Pedro complex and at Singapore. The ports will work collectively in facilitating the supply and adoption of these fuels.

Ports agreeing these types of green corridor arrangements are gathering pace. In the UK, Dover is looking to adopt a link with ports in France, while the Port of Halifax, Canada has signed an MoU with the Port of Hamburg to assess a decarbonised shipping corridor between North America and Europe.
