A groundbreaking collaboration among major maritime players is set to revolutionize Pacific shipping, with a mission to reduce emissions and pioneer zero-lifecycle carbon emission vessels by 2030. The c40 source.
- Leading maritime stakeholders unite to reduce emissions on the Pacific’s busiest shipping route, aiming for zero lifecycle carbon emission ships by 2030.
- Major shipping lines pledge to deploy low-carbon ships by 2025, showcasing sustainability and efficiency in global supply chains.
- Supported by C40 Cities, this pioneering effort not only transforms shipping practices but also promises cleaner air, less pollution, and new job opportunities for communities worldwide.
A Collaborative Effort for a Cleaner Ocean
Leading maritime stakeholders, including the Ports of Los Angeles, Long Beach, and Shanghai, along with major shipping lines, have joined forces to create the Green Shipping Corridor Implementation Plan Outline. This groundbreaking initiative aims to accelerate emissions reductions on one of the world’s busiest container shipping routes.
Pioneering Sustainability Across the Pacific
Supported by C40 Cities, a global network of mayors combatting climate change, the Green Shipping Corridor represents a historic step toward decarbonizing global supply chains. The plan seeks to showcase innovative goods movement technologies and catalyze efforts to transition to zero lifecycle carbon emission ships, all while enhancing efficiency and sustainability.
Ambitious Targets for a Cleaner Future
Carrier partners, including industry giants like CMA CGM, COSCO Shipping Lines, Maersk, and ONE, have committed to deploying reduced or zero lifecycle carbon capable ships on the corridor by 2025. The ultimate goal is to demonstrate the feasibility of deploying the world’s first zero lifecycle carbon emission container ship(s) by 2030.
A Greener Horizon for Maritime Industry
Participants in the Green Shipping Corridor Partnership are taking concrete steps to reduce carbon and pollutant emissions, including expanding shore power usage and supporting clean marine fuel infrastructure development. Cargo owners are also onboard, contracting with carriers for zero lifecycle carbon emission shipping services. Together, these efforts will pave the way for a cleaner and more sustainable maritime industry, benefitting both the environment and local communities.
