Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping (MMMCZC) on Friday (13 December) announced its partnership with the Government of Republic of the Philippines to develop green shipping corridors in the country.
The collaboration was formalised during a signing ceremony attended by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen, the Ambassador of Denmark to the Philippines Franz-Michael Skjold Mellbin, and Department of Transportation – Philippines Deputy Minister Elmer Francisco Sarmiento.
A Letter of Intent was signed for a pre-feasibility project to establish a green corridor in the Philippines.
This milestone underscores a shared commitment to decarbonizing maritime transport and fostering sustainable growth in the Philippines.
The initiative aims to promote low- and zero-emission fuels and technologies, support key industries such as inter-island passenger transport, tourism, fishing, mining, agriculture, and export-driven sectors, and strengthen the local workforce and economy while aligning with global climate goals.
