Australia’s transport minister, the Hon Catherine King MP, recently meet her Singaporean counterpart, Chee Hong Tat, for discussion on how to accelerate the uptake and promotion of decarbonisation technologies in shipping.
“The Australian Government is committed to reducing emissions across all transport sectors, including by establishing a Green and Digital Shipping Corridor between Singapore and Australia to reduce maritime emissions. We also discussed the potential for further engagement and collaboration between our countries on low-emissions solutions for maritime and port operations,” Minister King said in a statement.
She added that the Department for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government is working with the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore towards deployment of such solution in a “Green Shipping and Digital Corridor” in 2025.
