Australia’s Pilbara Ports Authority (PPA) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Port of Himeji to boost renewable energy trade opportunities between Western Australia and Japan, PPA said on February 1.

The MoU between Pilbara Ports Authority (PPA) and the Port of Himeji will support cooperation and knowledge exchange between the two ports on renewable energy and net zero carbon emission initiatives.

The Port of Himeji, located in the western part of Japan, has strong trade relationships with Western Australia, importing LNG, iron ore, oil, and salt from Pilbara ports.

This MOU further strengthens the Sister State relationship established between WA and Hyogo Prefecture in 1981, PPA said.
