MPA starts out SG registry of ships notation

The notation is a first-of-its-kind ship registry accreditation system.

Senior minister of state for transport Chee Hong Tat announced the Singapore Registry of Ships (SRS) Notation initiative at the SRS Forum on 8 October.

The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) will roll out the SRS notation on 1 November to recognise ship owners and operators who voluntarily incorporate solutions to drive digital transformation, strengthen cyber security, enhance the well-being of seafarers, and pursue sustainable shipping.

The notation categories include:

Smart - awarded to vessels that adopt digital solutions to improve the safety and efficiency of shipboard operations, such as automation, advanced monitoring, and remote inspection.
Cyber - awarded to vessels that have adopted advanced cyber security measures to protect their shipboard operational technology systems from cyberattacks.
Welfare - awarded to vessels with good infrastructure and welfare amenities to enhance their crew's quality of life.
Green - awarded to vessels that have implemented solutions to reduce their carbon emissions, such as usage of low- or zero-carbon fuels.

A new logo for SRS was also unveiled at the forum to commemorate the registry's 55th anniversary. The MPA awarded Wan Hai Lines with the SRS Top Net Tonnage Contributor Award.

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.
