BYD & Shenzhen Port Group Deepen Cooperation on Clean Ports & Green Shipping Corridors - CleanTechnica

BYD and Shenzhen Port Group have recently signed an expanded cooperation agreement aimed at advancing clean ports and green shipping corridors, with a focus extending beyond BYD’s home ports to international logistics and global shipping decarbonization. Their collaboration includes enhancing green logistics channels, international supply chain services, and new energy refueling infrastructure. Shenzhen’s Xiaomo Port is set to become a key domestic and international roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) hub for new energy vehicles, while Shenzhen Yantian Port and Hong Kong Kwai Tsing Port will serve as container hubs for CKD (Complete Knock Down) vehicle parts, supporting the global expansion of electric vehicle manufacturing. These ports are already heavily electrified and automated, and the plan is to build a dense maritime logistics network connecting major automobile consumer markets worldwide. The initiative addresses the critical challenge of shipping decarbonization, which faces a "chicken vs. egg" dilemma regarding the deployment of zero-emission vessels and the necessary refueling/recharging infrastructure
