These companies are: BHP Billiton; DNV GL; Rio Tinto; Shanghai Merchant Ship Design and Research Institute (SDARI); and Woodside Energy. A letter of agreement was signed by the parties at a ceremony held in Singapore.

The joint research project is called ‘Green Corridor’ and aims to reduce NO_x and SO_x emissions from merchant vessels in advance of international treaties calling for stricter emissions standards. The project will also examine the technological and economic feasibility of an LNG-fuelled bulker.
