The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) and Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to strengthen collaboration in maritime digitalisation, innovation, and decarbonisation.
The partnership comes as MSC celebrates the 30th anniversary of establishing its Asia Regional Office and local office in Singapore.
“Singapore is a strategically important hub for MSC and a key gateway to the broader Asia region. As we mark 30 years in Singapore, this MOU reinforces our long-term commitment to strengthening our presence here,” said Soren Toft, Chief Executive Officer at MSC.
“MSC and Singapore are closely aligned on the priorities shaping the future of global shipping, and we look forward to deepening this partnership to drive the continued growth and resilience of the maritime industry.”
Under the MOU, the companies will explore new routes and services to strengthen connectivity and advance technologies to improve vessel energy efficiency and operational performance. The collaboration will also focus on maritime digitalisation initiatives to improve operational efficiency, including streamlining vessel arrivals and port operations.
“This partnership reflects the strong collaboration between MPA and MSC in driving sustainability and digitalisation in the maritime sector. By working together on decarbonisation, operational efficiency and talent development, we aim to strengthen Maritime Singapore’s position as a trusted and future-ready global maritime hub,” said Ang Wee Keong, Chief Executive at MPA.
