Singapore and China elevate cooperation on green shipping corridor

Singapore and China have agreed to collaborate on establishing a green and digital shipping corridor, with the aim of fostering innovation, enhancing maritime connectivity, and supporting the global transition towards a more sustainable maritime sector.  

To formalize the collaboration on the Singapore-China Green and Digital Shipping Corridor (GDSC), the Ministry of Transport of the Republic of Singapore and the Ministry of Transport of the People’s Republic of China signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on October 19.

This agreement builds on the earlier established municipality-level and provincial-level green shipping corridor projects with Tianjin and Shandong, elevating the cooperation to the national level.

Under the MoU, Singapore and China will work with industry stakeholders to advance maritime decarbonization, enhance port and supply chain
