An industry coalition has been established to develop a green shipping corridor between India's VOC Port and Europe, focusing on green methanol and ammonia as fuel sources. Indian and European officials signed a letter of intent, according to India’s Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways. The coalition, including the VOC Port Authority, will investigate the viability of green ammonia and methanol as bunker fuels along the route.
This includes assessing fuel supply, potential vessel demand, and infrastructure for bunkering and storage. Suitable European ports for the corridor will also be identified, building on a 2025 pre-feasibility study. The Indian government has not set a timeline for the project's development. This follows previous discussions about green shipping links between India and Europe, including a 2025 agreement with the Port of Rotterdam Authority and a 2026 pre-feasibility workshop in Denmark.
