Singapore, China ink deal for Green and Digitalised Shipping Corridor
The Green and Digital Shipping Corridor aims to develop decarbonised, supply chain standards.
The Ministry of Transport of Singapore and China have signed to establish the Singapore–China Green and Digital Shipping Corridor (GDSC) to boost digitalisation and sustainability in maritime transport operations.
Under the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), the GDSC will work with industry stakeholders for maritime decarbonisation, port and supply-chain efficiency, and develop technologies, infrastructure, and standards within the sector.
The MoU brings Singapore and China’s GDSC cooperation to the national level, building on the earlier established municipality-level and provincial-level GDSCs with Tianjin and Shandong, established in 2023 and 2024, respectively, Singapore said.
The MoU was signed by Jeffrey Siow, Singapore’s Acting Minister for Transport, and Liu Wei, China’s Minister of Transport.
