Government launches Green Maritime Fuel Development Communication Platform
**************************************************************************
The Transport and Logistics Bureau (TLB) 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. The newly launched Communication Platform is a major initiative to foster industry collaboration, bringing 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 Communication Platform members regarding the development of green maritime fuel bunkering and trading in Hong Kong, the Government will organise networking activities and government-facilitated business meetings to enhance stakeholder communication and co-operation, thereby expediting the establishment of a complete and resilient green maritime fuel bunkering supply chain in Hong Kong.
The Secretary for Transport and Logistics, Ms Mable Chan, said at today's International Bunker Industry Association Annual Convention, "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. We warmly welcome all interested Hong Kong companies, as well as Mainland and foreign companies with a presence in Hong Kong, to join the Communication Platform and develop Hong Kong into a premier green maritime fuel bunkering and trading centre together."
Currently, 25 companies and industry organisations have joined the Communication Platform. The TLB encourages more companies and industry organisations involved in green maritime fuel bunkering to join and explore business opportunities together. Details about the Communication Platform and application forms can be obtained from the TLB website: www.tlb.gov.hk/eng/boards/transport/maritime/gmfdlg.html.
