Bill requires a five-year master plan for green shipping corridors. File Image \/ Pixabay<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

South Korea<\/strong>\u2019s National Assembly has passed the Green Shipping Corridor Support Act<\/strong>, establishing a legal framework to support the development of low-emission shipping routes and related port infrastructure.<\/p>\n

The legislation aims to accelerate efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the maritime sector, which accounts for roughly 3%<\/strong> of global emissions, as per the bill approved on Thursday<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The law requires the South Korean Minister of Oceans and Fisherie<\/strong>s to develop a five-year master plan<\/strong> for green shipping corridor development and establishes a Green Shipping Corridor Support Council to coordinate policy and implementation.<\/p>\n

The act also provides a legal basis for research and development, workforce training, international cooperation and financial support to help expand green vessel operations and supporting infrastructure.<\/p>\n

However, Seoul<\/strong>-based climate policy group Solutions for Our Climate (SFOC)<\/strong> warned that the final version of the law broadened the definition of ‘green vessels’ to include low-carbon fuels, which it said could risk prolonging reliance on fuels such as LNG and bio-LNG rather than accelerating a shift to zero-carbon maritime energy solutions.<\/p>\n
