Trans-Pacific shipping to navigate a green course

The commitment to a sustainable and environment-friendly shipping corridor between Shanghai and California remains unwavering, industry insiders say.

During the Shanghai-California Maritime Decarbonization and Green Shipping Corridor Forum held at the Port of Long Beach on March 17, business leaders from both sides reaffirmed their dedication to the initiative, which aims to decarbonize trans-Pacific shipping and bolster economic ties.

"Transportation and goods movement continue to be a critical part of the backbone of our strong and thriving economy, and we are thrilled to join forces with Shanghai Municipal Transportation Commission in this important work," said Toks Omishakin, California's transportation secretary, adding the state looks forward to continued cooperation with international partners, including China.
