MPA, MISC Group ink MoU on maritime innovation

They will focus on integrating sustainable technologies into marine operations.

The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) and MISC Group have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to collaborate on advancing the maritime industry’s digital transformation

As part of the three-year arrangement, both parties will conduct technology sharing for tankers through the Just-in-time Planning and Coordination platform under digitalPort@SGTM.

They will also share data and cloud services to support the use of e-clearances and e-certificates and conduct cyber solution trials with the Maritime Cyber Assurance and Operations Centre.

Moreover, MPA and MISC will explore the use of artificial intelligence, digital twins, and semi-autonomous vessel operations to improve shipping efficiency and safety.

Additionally, the partnership will prioritise talent development, identify emerging skillsets, upskill seafarers to operate alternative-fuelled vessels, and ensure a future-ready workforce through training under the Maritime Energy Training Facility.

The MoU was signed by David Foo, assistant chief executive of MPA, and Mohd Denny Mohd Isa, vice president of MISC Marine.

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.
