MPA, ICS sign MoU on maritime cooperation

The collaboration will also drive outreach efforts to attract young talent.

The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) and the Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers (ICS) Singapore Branch have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to enhance cooperation in maritime education, professional development, and industry Outreach.

Under this partnership, MPA and ICS Singapore will promote professional training for maritime professionals, support capacity-building initiatives, and foster knowledge-sharing.

ICS, currently the only internationally recognised professional body in the commercial maritime arena, sets and examines the Professional Qualifying Examinations (PQEs).

PQE is a flexible and modular programme aimed at equipping maritime professionals with deep knowledge and understanding of the industry.

The MoU was signed by Teo Eng Dih, chief executive of MPA, and Elaine Yu, chairperson of ICS Singapore.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
