20、 for low-and zero-GHG emission fuels and energy efficient vessels.”Rashpal Bhatti,Vice President Maritime and Supply Chain Excellence,BHP“The West Australia East Asia iron ore Green Corridor represents a great opportunity to aggregate green fuel demand and supply in support of the industrys journey
21、towards net-zero in this major trade lane.As we build on the study to realise a safe and economic green shipping corridor,public-private partnership is key to bring this project to life.Rio Tinto remains committed to collaborating with value chain partners in support of this initiative as we work to
22、 deliver our climate commitments on shipping.”Laure Baratgin,Head of Commercial Operations,Rio Tinto“Being one of the founding members of the West Australia to East Asia iron ore Green Corridor Consortium was an excellent opportunity for Oldendorff Carriers to collaborate and share perspectives with
23、 the other Consortium members on the feasibility of reducing emissions on this strategic iron ore trade.We are pleased to join in sharing this feasibility assessment to show how a well-considered Green Corridor can facilitate our collective desire to decarbonize shipping with an alternative fuel.Whi
