Dear Vice Minister SONG,
Mr. KANG,
Mr. KIM,
Mr. Meier,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Green fuels, low-emission ports and digitalization are the future of the maritime sector.
Today, the ports of Hamburg, Busan and Ulsan will sign a Memorandum of Understanding to lead the way into this future.
The three ports are committed to promoting maritime decarbonization.
Specifically, they will work together to standardize the use and bunkering of green fuel, as well as share green practices, bunkering initiatives and marketing cooperation.
This partnership is a step towards a sustainable maritime future.
Ports around the world need to work together to make this transformation a success.
By sharing best practices, Hamburg, Busan and Ulsan are creating synergies that will benefit our maritime economies and global shipping.
The cooperation on onshore power supply and emission reduction shows how port cities can contribute to the protection of the climate and our environment.
Hamburg, Busan and Ulsan are stronger together, creating a green future for our ports, cities and oceans.
Thank you.
