Port of Hueneme signs green automotive shipping corridor agreements

The Port of Hueneme completed a series of collaborative discussions, strategic meetings, and site visits during a 10-day economic and green corridor trade mission to South Korea and Japan. Commissioners of the Oxnard Harbor District and senior Port of Hueneme leadership visited these two countries to reinforce, reinvigorate, and reimagine trade with key industry leaders and policymakers alike and align on innovation initiatives to green shipping lanes and operations.

The Port of Hueneme and the Port of Yokohama signed a Memorandum of Understanding to create a Green Automotive Shipping Corridor between both ports. This MOU will help promote cooperation and collaboration regarding environmentally sustainable port development initiatives and automotive logistics at both ports with the aim of transitioning to a zero-emission future.

The Port also signed a green automotive shipping corridor Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Wallenius Wilhelmsen Pyeongtaek International Ro-Ro Terminal - a WWL automotive terminal located in the Port of Pyeongtaek, South Korea.

The Port of Hueneme is now the first US port authority to sign green automotive shipping corridor agreements with ports and terminals in both Japan and South Korea, whose markets represent a majority of the transpacific automobile trade between the three nations.
