The Governments of Singapore and India have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to establish a Green and Digital Shipping Corridor (GDSC).
Under the agreement, both countries will collaborate with industry partners to develop infrastructure and technologies supporting the maritime sector’s transition to zero or near-zero greenhouse gas emission fuels. The MoU also covers digital information exchange and joint research into emerging green technologies and solutions, supporting ongoing digitalization and decarbonization efforts in maritime transport.
India’s renewable energy capacity and industrial base will support the production and export of alternative marine fuels, while Singapore, a major hub port, provides bunkering operations and a growing ecosystem for maritime innovation. This MoU follows a Letter of Intent (LoI) signed in March 2025, formalizing collaboration on maritime digitalization and decarbonization projects.
The partnership aligns with India’s broader maritime vision, which includes investing billions of dollars in domestic shipbuilding, revitalising the maritime industry, and aiming to position India among the top five shipbuilding nations by 2047.
