MPA, private firms provide floating accommodation for foreign workers

Accommodations will be used starting next week.

The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) has partnered with port operator PSA Singapore, Keppel Offshore & Marine, UK-based Bibby Maritime, and The Ascott Limited to bring in and manage two floating accommodations to temporarily house foreign workers, according to an announcement.

The floating accommodations will be used to house healthy foreign workers starting next week, as they will have to go through the necessary health checks before boarding.

Essential needs of the occupants will be taken care of. Medical and isolation facilities will also be set up nearby on land to ensure that medical support is available. The floating accommodations will also tap on the multi-agency Forward Assurance Support Teams for additional assistance should the need arise.

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.
