  "account": "Hong Kong's government is preparing to announce the city it will partner with to develop the nation's inaugural Green Energy Corridor during a maritime conference in November, according to Secretary for Transport and Logistics Mable Chan. The region aims to establish five green shipping and energy corridors by 2030 as part of a five-year plan, as outlined in last week's Policy Address. Chan revealed that the government plans to sign a cooperation agreement with the selected mainland city to secure a consistent supply of green energy for bunkering purposes. She emphasized that Hong Kong's strengths in creating a bunkering supply chain and a trading platform for green energy could ensure a stable supply and competitive pricing. Chan believes that if Hong Kong's demand reaches a significant scale and more international shipping companies transition to green fuels, it would benefit both demand volume and timing for suppliers and producers. Additional details about the first corridor are expected during Hong Kong Maritime Week, alongside the announcement of the second batch of partner ports under the Green Shipping Corridor initiative. The second list of partner ports will focus on attracting routes from Southeast Asia, South America, and Europe. Chan also mentioned plans for Hong Kong and Shanghai to forge a \"brother port\" relationship by 2026, as stated in the latest Policy Address supplement. Both cities are major international shipping hubs often affected by extreme weather, and they are exploring potential collaborations, such as establishing regular barge services and utilizing smart systems to monitor weather conditions.",
