By Zhang YashiXie Niu

HONG KONG, Nov. 15 (Xinhua) -- The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) government promulgated the Action Plan on Green Maritime Fuel Bunkering on Friday to set out clear strategies and actions to promote the development of Hong Kong into a high-quality green maritime fuel bunkering center.

The action plan sets out a number of targets, including following the emission reduction target set by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) to reach net-zero carbon emissions from international shipping by or around 2050, reducing carbon emissions from Hong Kong-registered ships by at least 11 percent (compared to 2019) and ensuring that 55 percent of the diesel-fuelled vessels in the government fleet switch to using green maritime fuels by 2026.

Uh-oh! Daily quota reached.
