Ningbo-Zhoushan Port, the world’s busiest port in terms of cargo throughput, has announced three initiatives with three major European ports -- Hamburg and Wilhelmshaven in Germany, and Valencia in Spain -- to construct green shipping corridors and advance low-carbon port cooperation between China and Europe. Under the initiatives to decarbonise international shipping, the ports involved will work with shipping lines, cargo owners, energy providers, research institutions and other stakeholders to promote zero-carbon technology, clean fuels and smart management systems on designated routes. Key actions include constructing and utilising shore power infrastructure, optimising freight distribution networks, adopting renewable energy solutions and scaling up clean fuel bunkering, with the goal of creating corridors with net-zero carbon emissions from the starting port to the terminal port, as per a report.
