SHANGHAI, Oct. 19 (Xinhua) — China's Ministry of Transport on Sunday unveiled a cooperation initiative on international green shipping corridors at the 2025 North Bund Forum in Shanghai, calling for joint efforts to build a safer, more efficient and greener global shipping ecosystem.

The initiative identifies seven key measures to develop international cooperation on green shipping corridors: the gradual expansion of international green shipping corridors; accelerating the development of environmentally friendly and low-carbon vessels; building ports with zero or near-zero carbon emissions; strengthening the potential for green fuel supplies; unlocking the role of government-market interactions; sharing best practices; and promoting innovation.

The forum announced a number of achievements in this direction, including the joint construction of a green shipping corridor between the port of Qingdao in eastern China and the port of Hamburg in Germany.

According to the Chinese Transport Authority, China has maintained global leadership in maritime transport connectivity for several years running, steadily expanding its opening-up and international cooperation in this sector. As of April of this year, China had signed bilateral or multilateral maritime transport agreements with 70 countries and regions worldwide.

China's major ports, including the Port of Shanghai and the Port of Ningbo-Zhoushan, are accelerating the development of green fuel supply infrastructure.

The Beiwai Tan Forum, now in its fifth year, is organized by the Ministry of Transport of the People's Republic of China and the Shanghai Municipal People's Government. The event runs until October 21.
