MSC to collaborate with China on decarbonisation

MSC and the China Waterborne Transport Research Institute, part of China’s transport ministry, have signed an agreement to jointly promote decarbonisation and sustainable development of the shipping industry.

This is the first time the Geneva-based company is partnering with a major institution in China to explore the technical pathway for decarbonisation.

The partners hope that the three-year Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) will leverage on their strengths to explore innovative ways to jointly cooperate on relevant research and activities,  and discuss progress to find the range of solutions that will make maritime transportation even more efficient while continuing to serve as the backbone of global trade.
