- The Los Angeles–Long Beach–Shanghai corridor reported completion of Phase I targets, including 100% shore power for container vessels, deployment of minimized lifecycle carbon‑capable ships, and expanded alternative fuel bunkering.
- Shanghai detailed 2025 progress with shore power at all container terminals, more than 47,000 tonnes of green methanol supplied, biofuel bunkering initiated at Yangshan, and 500,000 cubic meters of LNG delivered from January to August with services extended to Waigaoqiao.
- The Port of Melbourne and Shanghai Municipal Transportation Commission formalized a green corridor on October 19 with C40 support, outlining collaboration with SIPG, COSCO SHIPPING Lines, HAMR Energy, and ABEL Energy to scale clean fuels and renewable energy use.
- Corridor partners launched a Clean Fuels Study and an Energy Supply Working Group that reviewed fuel GHG‑intensity standards for potential 2026 adoption and assessed fuel demand and supply while tracking EU and IMO rulemaking.
- Participants flagged significant 2026 challenges, citing permitting and policy shifts including the IMO’s Net Zero Framework as well as market uncertainty that could affect clean marine fuel deployment.
