A groundbreaking report from the Global Maritime Forum and Getting to Zero Coalition reveals substantial growth in green shipping corridors across key emerging markets, with China, India, and Brazil at the forefront of this maritime transformation.

These pioneering nations are establishing dedicated shipping routes that prioritise zero-emission vessels and sustainable fuel infrastructure, demonstrating their commitment to decarbonising international freight transport. The expansion of these corridors represents a crucial development for the global shipping industry’s journey towards net-zero emissions.

The geographic diversification of these routes, spanning across Asia and South America, enables more comprehensive sustainable supply chain options for businesses seeking to reduce their carbon footprint.

The report highlights that these initiatives are not merely pilot programmes but rather scalable solutions that could reshape international maritime trade. As regulatory pressures intensify and environmental standards tighten, early adoption of green shipping routes positions forward-thinking logistics providers advantageously in the evolving market.
