Ports of Argentia, Hamburg collaborate on hydrogen export/import corridor

In The Netherlands, World Cargo News reported that Port of Argentia, in Newfoundland, Canada and Hamburg Port Authority have signed a Letter of Intent to collaborate on the export and import of green hydrogen from Canada to Germany. The agreement was signed at the Canada-Germany Hydrogen and Ammonia Producer-Offtaker Conference in Hamburg as part of the implementation of the Canada-Germany Energy Partnership and Hydrogen Alliance committing the two countries to collaboration in the export of clean Canadian hydrogen to Germany. “This signing strategically aligns both the ports of Argentia and Hamburg to facilitate the development of a hydrogen export/import corridor as we collectively establish our ports as leaders in the global energy transition,” Port of Argentia CEO Scott Penney said. “The ports of Argentia and Hamburg concur that a maritime supply chain for green hydrogen and its derivates is urgently needed. Such novel supply chains need close cooperation and collaboration among exporting and importing ports. As future production and consumption locations, both ports have unique offerings to share in a manner that can be mutually beneficial,” Jens Meier, CEO of the Hamburg Port Authority, said.
