The Hong Kong government established a communication platform for the green maritime fuel bunkering supply chain in the city.
The aim is to catalyse the development of a green maritime fuel bunkering supply chain in Hong Kong through communication and collaboration among industry stakeholders.
The newly launched platform, the Green Maritime Fuel Development Communication Platform, will bring together upstream and downstream companies within the green maritime fuel bunkering supply chain, including fuel suppliers, shipping companies, and port operators, among others.
In addition to gathering views from members about green fuel bunkering and trading in Hong Kong, the government will organise networking activities and business meetings to enhance stakeholder communication and cooperation.
Twenty-five companies and industry organisations joined the platform, Secretary for Transport and Logistics Mable Chan said.
Mable Chan said the government warmly welcomes Hong Kong companies as well as Mainland and foreign companies with a presence in the city to join the platform. “The Communication Platform aims to facilitate business discussion and collect views from the trade on ways to bolster our competitiveness in green maritime fuel bunkering and trading.”
The Hong Kong Transport and Logistics Bureau promulgated the Action Plan on Green Maritime Fuel Bunkering last November, outlining five strategies and 10 actions to develop Hong Kong into a centre for green maritime fuel bunkering.
Among the measures in the Action Plan is the establishment of a collaborative platform for the industry to support the development of effective supply chains and trading channels.
