FOUR nations attending the UN Climate Conference (COP27) in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, the UK, the US, Norway and the Netherlands, say they will plot end-to-end decarbonised shipping routes.
Green shipping corridors are specific maritime routes decarbonised from end to end, including both landside infrastructure and vessels.
Setting up such routes involves using zero-emission fuel or energy, putting in place refuelling or recharging infrastructure at ports, and deploying zero-emission capable vessels to demonstrate environmentally friendly shipping, according to London's Port Technology.
In particular, the UK and the US have agreed to launch a special Green Shipping Corridor Task Force focused on bringing together experts in the sector to encourage research and development.
By committing to green shipping corridors the sector complies with the Paris Agreement goal of limiting global temperature rise to 1.5
