en.Wedoany.com Reported - As the world's largest port by annual cargo throughput, Ningbo-Zhoushan Port joined hands with global ports to advance green shipping development, signing a Green Shipping Corridor Initiative on the 27th with Spain's Port of Valencia, France's HAROPA Port Alliance, the UAE's Port of Abu Dhabi, Spain's Port of Algeciras, and the UK's Port of Felixstowe.
As an innovative practice in the low-carbon transition of the global shipping industry, Green Shipping Corridors are jointly promoted by ports, shipping companies, governments, and industry organizations. By applying zero-carbon fuels, intelligent management systems, and clean technologies on key shipping routes, they explore replicable and scalable emission reduction solutions.
Among the five Green Shipping Corridor initiatives signed that day, the corridors from Ningbo-Zhoushan Port to the Port of Valencia and to the HAROPA Port Alliance (Ports of Le Havre, Rouen, and Paris) had already signed co-construction agreements in 2025. After a year of coordination, they have attracted deep participation from global shipping giants and technology innovation enterprises.
Specifically, the "Ningbo-Zhoushan Port—Port of Valencia" corridor has attracted the official participation of Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC), the world's largest container shipping line by capacity, comprehensively accelerating the corridor's full decarbonization process. This corridor is also the first globally to explicitly encourage demonstration testing of unmanned driving in port areas, attracting top Chinese technology innovation enterprises to participate, empowering the intelligent transformation of global ports and shipping with "Chinese wisdom."
In the signing of the co-construction initiative for the "Ningbo-Zhoushan Port—HAROPA Port Alliance" corridor, CMA CGM Group joined as the second shipping enterprise partner, forming a complete French "port—shipping—ship inspection" full-chain green ecosystem.
The three newly added corridors—"Ningbo-Zhoushan Port—Port of Abu Dhabi," "Ningbo-Zhoushan Port—Port of Felixstowe," and "Ningbo-Zhoushan Port—Port of Algeciras"—will further expand the map of China-UAE and China-Europe green shipping cooperation, establishing the first China-UAE, the first China-UK, and the second China-Spain port-to-port green shipping corridors, building a denser Asia-Europe green shipping trunk line network.
In recent years, Ningbo-Zhoushan Port has continuously advanced its port greening transformation, achieving full shore power coverage for all terminal berths except liquid chemical berths, and innovating a "mobile shore power box" model to solve ship connection difficulties. Meanwhile, its green fuel bunkering capacity has reached new heights, with the volumes of liquefied natural gas and biofuel oil bunkered in 2025 both ranking among the top in China.
