Barcelona and Shanghai Ports Sign Green Corridor and Digitalisation Agreement
The Port of Barcelona and Shanghai International Port Group (SIPG) have signed a cooperation agreement to strengthen ties and jointly promote digitalisation, standardisation, and decarbonisation in maritime transport.
The two ports will develop a green shipping and digital corridor, aiming to offer emissions-neutral maritime services between the Far East and the Mediterranean, the Port of Barcelona said in a statement on its website on Monday.
This will include alternative fuel-powered vessels and the infrastructure to support them at both ports.
The agreement was formalised during a visit to Shanghai by a Catalan delegation led by President Salvador Illa, with the signing carried out by Barcelona Port President José Alberto Carbonell and SIPG President Song Xiaodong.
Building on a previous collaboration agreement in 2023, the new deal outlines specific initiatives and sets up a bilateral working group to define projects in areas such as cruise operations, security and port management.
