SG, Japan to establish a green and digital shipping corridor

Under the partnership, the Maritime Port Authority will work with six Japanese ports.

Singapore signed a memorandum of cooperation (MoC) with Japan to establish the Singapore-Japan Green and Digital Shipping Corridor.

The collaboration will develop standards and best practices supporting the decarbonisation, digitalisation, and growth of the maritime industry in both countries.

Under the collaboration, the Maritime and Port Authority (MPA) will work with six Japanese ports, including the Port of Tokyo, the Port of Yokohama, the Port of Kawasaki, the Port of Osaka, the Port of Kobe, and the Port of Nagoya.

The MPA and its Japanese port partners will conduct pilot projects and trials for alternative marine fuels, such as ammonia and hydrogen, and develop the necessary bunkering infrastructure, standards and training. 

The partners will also encourage the development and adoption of technologies to decarbonise port infrastructure. 

Both countries will identify and implement digital solutions to streamline port clearance processes and exchange information on maritime cybersecurity and digitalisation.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
