Singapore, Korea sign MOU to launch green shipping corridor

Both countries will collaborate to support the transition to zero or near-zero greenhouse gas fuels.

Singapore and the Republic of Korea have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to establish a Green and Digital Shipping Corridor (GDSC), aimed at accelerating maritime decarbonisation and enhancing supply chain efficiency.

The agreement was signed by Singapore’s Acting Minister for Transport Jeffrey Siow and Korea’s Minister of Oceans and Fisheries Chun Jae Soo.

The initiative will be implemented by Singapore’s Maritime and Port Authority (MPA) and Korea’s Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries.

Under the agreement, both countries will collaborate to support the transition to zero or near-zero greenhouse gas fuels, develop compatible bunkering infrastructure, and align technical standards for green shipping.

The scope of cooperation includes joint efforts to exchange technical knowledge, conduct trials in partnership with industry and research institutions, and provide joint training programmes.

The agreement also emphasizes accelerating digitalisation to improve real-time information exchange and boost operational efficiency in maritime transport.

The GDSC aims to reinforce both nations’ commitment to advancing clean maritime technologies whilst contributing to more sustainable and resilient global supply chains.

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.
