MPA extends partnership with SMU to support maritime talent exchange

The extension will help the industry's transformation towards digitalisation and decarbonisation.

The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) signed a Memorandum of Understanding extension with the Shanghai Maritime University (SMU) to support professional and academic maritime talent exchange between Singapore and China.

Under the extended MoU, both agencies will collaborate to exchange information, academia, and professionals and initiate student study visits and training programmes whilst covering key maritime areas, including safety and security, energy, port management, aquatic technologies, and environmental management.

Teo Eng Dih, MPA Chief Executive, said the extension reaffirmed the strong and comprehensive partnership between the two countries in enhancing the interchange of ideas and expertise and applying academic and research insights to help support the global maritime transformation towards digitalisation and decarbonisation.

Lu Jing, SMU President, said the university would deepen its cooperation with MPA and Singapore under the renewed MoU "to support sustainable maritime development through, among others, talent cultivation, knowledge sharing, and academic exchanges."

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.
