The Port of Melbourne has partnered with the world\u2019s largest container <\/p>\n

port, the Port of Shanghai, to establish a Green Shipping Corridor between the <\/p>\n

two ports.<\/p>\n

\"Ports<\/p>\n

The agreement was signed on 19 October 2025 at the North Bund Forum in <\/p>\n

Shanghai, China.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Supported by the C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group (C40), this initiative <\/p>\n

unites Port of Melbourne and Shanghai Municipal Transportation Commission (SMTC) <\/p>\n

in response to the Clydebank Declaration and the broader goal of decarbonising <\/p>\n

the maritime supply chain.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Under the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), both parties will collaborate <\/p>\n

with industry partners\u2014including Shanghai International Port Group (SIPG), COSCO <\/p>\n

SHIPPING Lines, HAMR Energy, and ABEL Energy\u2014to develop measures that reduce <\/p>\n

shipping\u2019s environmental impact.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

They will focus on sustainable practices such as adopting cleaner <\/p>\n

technologies, using renewable energy sources, and applying best practices to <\/p>\n

minimise the ecological footprint of shipping activities.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The MoU also aims to encourage shipping lines to increase the use of <\/p>\n

clean-energy-powered vessels operating between Shanghai and Melbourne.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Additionally, it seeks to work with energy suppliers to accelerate <\/p>\n

advancements in production technology, improve efficiency and cost control, and <\/p>\n

build an integrated supply chain system covering production, transportation, and <\/p>\n

storage to enhance low-carbon fuel supply capacity.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Saul Cannon, CEO of Port of Melbourne, said, \u201cThis MoU marks a significant <\/p>\n

step in our efforts to decarbonise the supply chain. As an island nation reliant <\/p>\n

on sea freight, Australia plays a vital role in global shipping <\/p>\n

decarbonisation.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs Australia\u2019s largest container port working with the world\u2019s largest, we <\/p>\n

are well-positioned to lead by example towards a greener future. We look forward <\/p>\n

to advancing this initiative with our industry partners.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In August, the Port of Melbourne remained Southeast Australia\u2019s leading <\/p>\n

trade gateway, having handled a record $154 billion in trade during Financial <\/p>\n

Year 2025 (FY25).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
