The Missing Link: Why Digitalization is Key to Green Shipping Corridors
Green shipping corridors are a critical step toward decarbonizing maritime transport, but without digitalization, many remain stuck in feasibility phases rather than delivering measurable impact. Digital Green Corridors integrate smart solutions to optimize operations, improve transparency, and reduce emissions. This keynote will outline a five strategic steps to making these corridors work in practice. From enabling data-driven decision-making to fostering seamless collaboration among ports, shipping lines, and regulators, this approach ensures that green corridors drive real change.
