India and the Netherlands have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Maritime Cooperation and a Letter of Intent (LoI) to establish a Green and Digital Sea Corridor during the India Maritime Week 2025 in Mumbai.
The agreements were signed in the presence of Sarbananda Sonowal, India’s Union Minister of Ports, Shipping and Waterways, and Robert Tieman, Minister of Infrastructure and Water Management of the Netherlands.
The collaboration aims to strengthen cooperation in green shipping, port development, digital transformation, inland waterways, and shipbuilding.
The proposed Green and Digital Sea Corridor will connect Indian ports with the Port of Rotterdam, facilitating sustainable and efficient maritime connectivity.
The initiative is expected to promote clean energy transitions through fuels such as hydrogen, ammonia, and methanol, while enhancing digital port operations and logistics innovation to accelerate decarbonisation in the maritime sector.
According to Minister Tieman, the Dutch parliament has encouraged closer collaboration with India for geopolitical reasons.
