Ports pave the way for eco-friendly maritime travel
In a significant move toward sustainable shipping, ports worldwide are now investing in green fuels, enabling cargo ships to sail without carbon emissions.
Jorn Madslien reports for BBC News.
In short:
- Global ports are actively investing in green fuels to create carbon-free shipping corridors.
- The initiative aims to use zero or low emission fuels like ammonia and methanol for cargo ships.
- This eco-friendly shift in maritime travel is part of a broader effort to reduce global shipping emissions.

"We have to get started somewhere, and you cannot get started by implementing zero emission shipping as a total solution everywhere in the world."
