MPA facility set to train 10,000 in clean fuel handling

The MPA aims to develop the training facilities by 2026.

The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) has announced its plan to establish a facility to train international seafarers in handling and operating ships using clean marine fuels.

The Maritime Energy Training Facility (METF) will comprise a decentralised network of training facilities anchored by a dual-fuel marine engine simulator for training.

Training at the METF will include safe handling, bunkering, and management of incidents involving alternative fuels, such as methanol and ammonia.

The MPA aims to develop the training facilities by 2026.

The MPA expects to train around 10,000 seafarers and other maritime personnel at the METF from now to the 2030s.

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.
