Calling for joint efforts to build a safer, more efficient and greener global shipping ecosystem, the initiative outlines seven key measures to promote international cooperation on green shipping corridors.
The measures are expanding green shipping corridors in phases; accelerating the development of green and low-carbon vessels; developing (near) zero-carbon ports; enhancing green fuel supply capacity; leveraging government-market collaboration; sharing best practices; and supporting innovation.
Several cooperative achievements in building green shipping corridors were announced at the forum, including the joint establishment of a green shipping corridor between Qingdao Port in east China and the Port of Hamburg, Germany.
Major ports across China, including Shanghai Port and Ningbo-Zhoushan Port, have accelerated the development of green fuel supply infrastructure, a state-controlled media outlet reported.
The 2025 North Bund Forum, the fifth edition of the event, is co-hosted by the Ministry of Transport and the Shanghai Municipal People's Government. The event ended yesterday.
