MPA, SSA, IMDA launch maritime digitalisation playbook

This is said to support maritime companies in accelerating digitalisation plans.

The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA), Singapore Shipping Association (SSA) and Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) have launched the Maritime Digitalisation Playbook (MDP), according to Senior Minister of State for Transport and Health Dr. Lam Pin Min.

This is said to support maritime companies in accelerating their digitalisation plans as the economy reboots and enters a new normal.

The MDP incorporates key findings from the IMDA-commissioned 2020 Digital Acceleration Index (DAI) survey for the sea transport sector to establish the state of digitalisation of sub sectors such as the shipping line, ship management, ship agency and harbour craft.

This is said to help maritime companies, in particular small and medium enterprises (SMEs), to formulate their digitalisation roadmaps, guide execution and benefit from maritime digital platforms covering port clearances and services, trade documentation, as well as trade operations and financing.

Companies can also apply for co-funding from MPA’s Maritime Cluster Fund—Productivity Development (MCF-PD) to develop their digitalisation solutions.

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.
