Singapore and Brazil have signed a memorandum of understanding to establish the Singapore–Brazil Green and Digital Shipping Corridor, linking decarbonisation and digitalisation efforts on a key South America–Asia trade route. The corridor will focus on digital information exchange to enhance maritime and port operations and support the adoption of emerging maritime technologies.
Singapore and Brazil have agreed to create the Singapore–Brazil Green and Digital Shipping Corridor (GDSC) through a newly signed memorandum of understanding, aiming to make shipping between the two countries both more sustainable and more digitally integrated. According to the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore, the partnership will explore digital information exchanges to improve maritime and port operations, while also supporting research, development and deployment of new maritime technologies. The corridor leverages Singapore’s role as a leading digital maritime hub and Brazil’s position as a major exporter of bulk commodities, particularly across the Atlantic and Pacific trades.
