\n

The Port of Los Angeles has partnered with the largest port in <\/p>\n

China to establish the world\u2019s first Transpacific green shipping <\/p>\n

corridor.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"PORT<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a project convened by C40 Cities, the Ports of Los Angeles and Shanghai <\/p>\n

will work with leading industry partners to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from <\/p>\n

the movement of cargo on one of the world\u2019s busiest container shipping <\/p>\n

routes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The newly announced partnership will work towards achieving its core aims <\/p>\n

by developing a \u201cGreen Shipping Corridor Implementation Plan\u201d by the end of <\/p>\n

2022, this will include deliverables, milestones, and roles for the <\/p>\n

partnership.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This plan includes key decarbonisation goals, including:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The phasing in of low, ultra-low, and zero-carbon fuelled ships through the <\/p>\n

2020s, with the world\u2019s first zero-carbon Transpacific container ships <\/p>\n

introduced by 2030 by qualified and willing shipping lines.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The development of best management practices to help reduce emissions and <\/p>\n

improve efficiency for all ships using this international trade corridor.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Reducing supply chain emissions from port operations, improving air quality <\/p>\n

in the Ports of Shanghai and Los Angeles and adjacent communities.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The City of Shanghai, the City of Los Angeles, the Port of Shanghai <\/p>\n

(represented by the Shanghai Municipal Transportation Commission), the Port of <\/p>\n

Los Angeles, and C40 Cities initiated the coalition.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Participating partners already include the likes of A.P. Moller \u2013 Maersk <\/p>\n

(Maersk), CMA CGM, Shanghai International Ports Group (SIPG), COSCO Shipping <\/p>\n

Lines, the Aspen Institute\u2019s Shipping Decarbonisation Initiative, facilitators <\/p>\n

of Cargo Owners for Zero-Emission Vessels (coZEV), and the Maritime Technology <\/p>\n

Cooperation Centre \u2013 Asia.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cInternational collaboration is essential to decarbonise global supply <\/p>\n

chains,\u201d said Gene Seroka, Executive Director for the Port of Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe look forward to partnering with the Shanghai Municipal Transportation <\/p>\n

Commission, the Shanghai International Port Group, leading shipping lines and <\/p>\n

major cargo owners to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the maritime supply <\/p>\n

chain. It\u2019s time to get started on this important work.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Mark Watts, Executive Director of C40 Cities, added: \u201cAccelerating efforts <\/p>\n

to decarbonise the shipping sector is urgent if we are to limit global heating <\/p>\n

to 1.5 \u00b0C. By convening international coalitions of the willing and creating a <\/p>\n

scalable and replicable model for other cities to follow, we hope this <\/p>\n

ground-breaking green shipping corridor initiative will catalyse action on a <\/p>\n

global scale.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Dan Porterfield, President and CEO of the Aspen Institute, also commented: <\/p>\n

\u201cThe Aspen Institute is proud to support this important international <\/p>\n

collaboration.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough our Shipping Decarbonisation Initiative and in our role as the <\/p>\n

facilitator of the Cargo Owners for Zero-Emission Vessels initiative, we look <\/p>\n

forward to working with our partners to help enable the deployment of the first <\/p>\n

vessels powered by zero life-cycle greenhouse gas emission fuels along this <\/p>\n

critical shipping route and to making this green corridor project a model of <\/p>\n

success for the rest of the world.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is inspiring that the United States and China have come together in <\/p>\n

this way to address the climate impact of this crucial global industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Port of Los Angeles is just one of the ports committed to greener <\/p>\n

operations and promoting sustainability. This is evidenced in its Clean Air <\/p>\n

Action Plan, aiming towards operating a zero-emissions fleet by 2030.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cNow it\u2019s time to get after decarbonisation and greenhouse gases,\u201d Seroka <\/p>\n

stated in the latest instalment of PTI\u2019s \u2018In conversation with\u2019 series. \u201cThe way <\/p>\n

to do that is to get to zero emissions.<\/p>\n
