They will also assess methanol bunkering demand and exchange knowledge on bunkering standards and operational procedures.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Digital shipping:<\/strong> Cooperation will focus on exchanging vessel operational data through Qingdao Port\u2019s Cloud Port Connect platform and Singapore\u2019s OCEANS-X platform. The initiative aims to improve vessel arrival information, berth planning, port resource allocation and operational efficiency.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Research and innovation:<\/strong> The partners will work with research institutions, including China\u2019s Waterborne Transport Research Institute and the Singapore Maritime Institute, to support technical exchanges and joint research on alternative marine fuels and shipping digitalization.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h6>Supporting the development of green shipping corridors<\/h6>\n<p>The work plan builds on existing cooperation between China and Singapore to develop greener and more digitally connected shipping routes. By linking alternative-fuel infrastructure development with digital information exchange, the initiative seeks to support shipping decarbonization while improving port efficiency and supply chain coordination.<\/p>\n<p>The cooperation also provides a framework for collaboration among port authorities, research institutions and other maritime stakeholders, with an emphasis on implementing practical projects.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/safety4sea.com\/qingdao-port-and-singapore-strengthen-green-and-digital-shipping-cooperation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><br \/>\n<center\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shandong Port Qingdao Port and the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) have signed a new cooperation plan to advance green shipping and digital&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":98760,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2611],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-98759","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-buzz-headlines","wpcat-2611-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/98759","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=98759"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/98759\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/98760"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=98759"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=98759"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=98759"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
