CLPe and Modern Terminals sign MOU for Hong Kong port electrification and maritime decarbonisation

CLPe and Modern Terminals signed a memorandum of understanding to develop an electrification roadmap for Hong Kong's container port operations. The partnership covers onshore power for container vessels, battery swapping for terminal tractors, charging infrastructure for electric vehicles and mobile equipment, and power infrastructure for electric barges. The two companies will run feasibility studies and technical assessments before setting a phased timeline. The MOU supports Modern Terminals' 2030 target to eliminate direct greenhouse gas emissions from its own operations. It also aligns with the Hong Kong government's push to accelerate port electrification and maritime decarbonisation. CLPe will provide energy infrastructure expertise, while Modern Terminals brings port operations experience. The next step is converting the MOU into project-level decisions with clear costs and schedules.
