Singapore’s Ministry of Transport and China’s Ministry of Transport have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to establish the Singapore–China Green and Digital Shipping Corridor, elevating bilateral maritime cooperation to the national level. The initiative builds on earlier city- and province-level partnerships with Tianjin (2023) and Shandong (2024).
Under the MoU, both countries will collaborate with industry stakeholders to promote maritime decarbonisation, improve port and supply-chain efficiency, and develop the technologies, infrastructure, and standards necessary for a more sustainable and connected maritime ecosystem. The agreement also focuses on strengthening digitalisation in shipping operations by promoting data-driven solutions to enhance efficiency, resilience, and transparency across the maritime value chain.
The corridor aligns with both nations’ commitments to green shipping and supports their broader objectives of advancing sustainable maritime trade, digital innovation, and low-carbon port operations within the region.
