A new green shipping corridor connecting China’s Ningbo-Zhoushan Port and France’s HAROPA Port has been launched under the International Green Shipping Corridor Cooperation Initiative.
Announced during the 2025 North Bund Forum in Shanghai, the project aims to accelerate low-carbon transport between Asia and Europe.
The corridor brings together Bureau Veritas Marine & Offshore (BV), Zhejiang Provincial Seaport Investment & Operation Group, HAROPA Ports, MSC Group, MSC Terminal Investment Limited, CMA CGM, and the China Waterborne Transport Research Institute.
It builds on an MoU signed at the Maritime Silk Road Forum and focuses on developing clean-energy vessels, near-zero-carbon ports, and sustainable fuel certification systems.
As a core technical partner, BV will provide technical and certification support to help deliver emissions reductions and drive the corridor’s implementation.
