Green shipping corridors, which promote zero-emission shipping, have seen a 40% increase in popularity worldwide. However, progress could stall without urgent government action to overcome a "feasibility wall." The report highlights 62 initiatives globally, with a third advancing to new exploration phases. Six frontrunning initiatives are now preparing for real-world implementation, establishing blueprints for green corridors worldwide. The lack of national policy to bridge fuel costs is the main bottleneck, limiting the development of green corridors. The report calls on national governments to step up support and help unlock the business case for alternative energy, such as hydrogen-based fuels.
