Green Shipping Corridors in the Baltic Sea

Blue Supply Chains was represented at the Interreg Europe Policy Learning Platform Peer Review for Green Shipping Corridors, hosted by the Ministry of Climate of Estonia, on September 24-25, 2025!

Together with colleagues from across the Baltic Sea Region, we exchanged valuable insights on a potential harmonised and robust framework for green shipping corridors, aimed at supporting Estonia in shaping a coherent policy approach.

Projects and first results such as from Blue Supply Chains, H2Deri@BSP (Interreg Baltic Sea Region Programme), Green Supply Chains (Interreg North Sea Programme) and BREEZE as well as cross-border initiatives like the NordicRoadmap play an important role for the development.

Main discussion points:

• Defining eligibility criteria and standards for Green Shipping Corridors, with a focus on emissions thresholds, eligible fuels, and certification mechanisms.
• Exploring governance models involving ministries, port authorities, and industry coalitions to ensure accountability and sustainability.
• Sharing best practices for aligning decarbonization policies and exploring incentives for shipowners and ports participating in green corridors.

The journey continues!

We are grateful to have been part of such an expert group and look forward to the next steps and continued cooperation toward our shared climate goals!
