Hamburg and China launch joint lab to advance green shipping corridor
What happened
Hamburg Mayor Peter Tschentscher visited Shanghai to mark the 40th anniversary of the friendship between the two cities. During the visit, a joint laboratory for climate science and engineering was launched in Qingpu district on October 16. This lab was established by Hamburg University of Technology and Feishu China, the Chinese representative office of the Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical Sciences, to develop a green shipping corridor between Hamburg and Shanghai.

Why it matters
Hamburg and Shanghai are major economic centers with extensive cooperation in trade and technology. Hamburg serves as a gateway for Chinese businesses entering Europe, and about 30 percent of containers handled at the Port of Hamburg come from or are destined for China. The corridor aims to make maritime transport more efficient and environmentally friendly.
