Singapore and China to Establish Green Corridor

Singapore's Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Transport of China have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to establish the Singapore–China Green and Digital Shipping Corridor.

The MoU elevates Singapore and China’s cooperation to the national level, building on the earlier established municipality-level and provincial-level corridors with Tianjin and Shandong, established in 2023 and 2024 respectively.

Under the MoU, Singapore and China will work with industry stakeholders to advance maritime decarbonization, enhance port and supply-chain efficiency, and develop supporting technologies, infrastructure, and standards to promote a more sustainable and connected maritime ecosystem.

It also seeks to strengthen digitalization in maritime transport operations, by promoting the use of data-driven systems to enhance efficiency, resilience, and transparency across the maritime value chain.
