Abstract

Since the inception of the Green Shipping Corridor (GSC) concept in 2021, 126 GSCs have been initiated worldwide as of January 2026. However, significant misunderstandings have occurred regarding the naming of GSCs, their governance frameworks, the type of zero-emission vessels (ZEVs) with alternative fuels and ZEV fleet deployment on GSCs, and the greenhouse gas emissions computation from the fleet. To address these, this paper aims to conduct a systematic review of the development of GSCs by incorporating the most recent literature and policy developments. By doing so, it clarifies common misunderstandings of the GSC concept. This paper contributes to further refinement of GSC concept to enhance the implementation of GSCs in advancing the decarbonisation of the maritime industry. The paper also proposes research and policy agendas in implementing GSCs and optimizing ZEV fleet deployment.
