Green corridor between Rotterdam and Gothenburg
The Port of Gothenburg and the Port of Rotterdam have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to set up green corridor to support sustainable shipping between the two ports. The plan focuses on decarbonisation and digitalisation.
As part of the green corridor initiative, the ports will establish a common framework for cooperation to stimulate the use of new alternative fuels. The project is supported by the Clydebank Declaration signed by both Sweden and the Netherlands at COP26. T
he parties intend to connect the green corridor between Gothenburg and Rotterdam to a larger system of deep-sea corridors, including the European green corridors network launched in March this year by the Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Centre for Zero-Carbon Shipping, for which the Port of Gothenburg recently became mission ambassador.
Rotterdam recently also started a large green corridor initiative with the Maritime & Port Authority of Singapore. (sh)
