Port of Long Beach joins trans-Pacific green shipping corridor

The Port of Long Beach has joined the Shanghai-Los Angeles Green Shipping Corridor, a partnership of C40 Cities, ports, shipping companies and cargo owners convened to create a zero-emissions trans-Pacific trade route.

First announced in January by C40 Cities, the ports of Shanghai and Los Angeles, and maritime stakeholders, it is hoped that the corridor will mark a step forward in decarbonising shipping between the busiest ports in China and the US.

The partnership intends to work together by developing a “Green Shipping Corridor Implementation Plan” by the end of 2022 that will include deliverables, goals and interim milestones, and roles for participants.
