Ricardo, a global environmental, energy and engineering consultancy, has partnered with the Port of Huelva to develop green shipping corridors.
Ricardo will identify at least five green shipping corridors into the port, one of Spain’s busiest. The company will also assess port operations and infrastructure, recommend low-carbon logistics solutions, and advise on regulations and engagement with public authorities. In addition, Ricardo will produce a phased roadmap and action plans for public and private sector stakeholders.
Green shipping corridors are designated routes where vessels use low-emission propulsion technologies. Through this initiative, the Port of Huelva aims to strengthen cooperation across the maritime value chain. This includes fuel producers, terminal operators, utilities, shipping companies and fuel suppliers. The goal is to develop commercially viable European green shipping projects.
Matt Moss, Green Shipping Corridor Lead at Ricardo, said the port is taking decisive action to cut emissions. He said the project places the Port of Huelva among Europe’s leading ports for sustainability and decarbonisation.
Ricardo brings extensive experience to the project. Its maritime decarbonisation experts have led four other green corridor projects in Europe. These include pre-feasibility studies between the UK and Norway and between the UK and Denmark. The team also conducted feasibility studies between Holyhead and Dublin with Stena Line and Irish Ferries, and on the North Sea corridor between the Port of Tyne and the Port of IJmuiden with DFDS.
Phase one begins in November 2025. It will review port capacity, analyse fuel supply chains, map possible routes, and assess infrastructure readiness.
