Maritime Week: SG to sign declaration on green shipping

Minister Iswaran said this is part of Singapore’s decarbonisation agenda.

Singapore will be joining 22 other countries in establishing green routes for shipping, Minister for Transport and Minister-in-Charge of Trade Relations, S Iswaran, announced.

In his speech at the opening ceremony of the Maritime Week, Iswaran said Singapore will also sign the UK-led Clydebank Declaration for Green Shipping Corridors as part of its decarbonisation efforts.

The Clydebank Declaration aims to establish green shipping corridors between ports by deploying zero-emission vessel technologies on voyages, or alternative fuel and charging infrastructure in ports.

Apart from the signing of the declaration, Iswaran also announced that the Ministry of Transport and MPA will establish the Maritime International Advisory Panel (IAP).

The panel which will “seek global perspectives on emerging trends and critical developments that will shape the maritime industry,” will be chaired by Isawaran.

Meanwhile, other notable events during the first day of the 2022 Maritime Week include the official launch of the MarineTech Exhibition, the Maritime Software Developers’ Live TV, and the return of the Singapore Maritime Lecture and SMW Leaders’ Perspective.

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.
