Accounting for approximately 80 per cent of global trade, the shipping industry is under mounting pressure to cut emissions. In response, the ports will work together with shipping companies, energy providers, cargo owners, research institutions, and other stakeholders to drive the adoption of zero-emission technologies, clean fuels, and advanced management systems along selected maritime routes, as per Chinese state-owned media outlet.
Key steps include developing shore power, improving freight networks, adopting renewable energy, and increasing clean fuel use, all aimed at creating net-zero emission shipping corridors.
“We aim to work closely with ports and shipping companies under the Belt and Road Initiative to support the global green transformation of ports and shipping,” said Tao Chengbo, chairman of the Ningbo-Zhoushan Port Group.
Ningbo-Zhoushan Port operates over 300 container routes—more than 250 of which are international—linking it to over 600 ports across more than 200 countries and regions.
