Wah Kwong NatPower has signed a preliminary agreement with Jiangsu Port Investment to evaluate maritime electrification and decarbonisation opportunities in China.
Wah Kwong NatPower and Jiangsu Port Group Investment Management Co. have entered into a memorandum of understanding to assess marine electrification and eco-friendly maritime technologies. The preliminary agreement aims to uncover joint opportunities across regional shipping operations.
WK NatPower operates as an equal joint venture between Hong Kong shipping firm Wah Kwong and UK entity NatPower Marine. The joint venture described the agreement with the Jiangsu Port Group subsidiary as an important milestone for expanding its commercial reach within mainland China.
