New MPA digital platform to support maritime fuel training

The platform also enables tracking of certifications and ensures compliance with evolving international standards.

The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) has unveiled a new digital platform under its Maritime Energy Training Facility (METF) to support the global maritime workforce in training to handle alternative marine fuels and emerging technologies safely.

The METF Digital Platform is a centralised system that allows maritime professionals to search for, register for, and manage training courses with ease.

It also enables tracking of certifications and ensures compliance with evolving international standards. The prototype, currently being tested with industry pilot users, is expected to launch in the second half of 2025.

Initially available to Singapore-based companies and Singapore-registered vessels, the platform will expand to international users in future phases.

MPA is also actively contributing to international efforts to standardise training for alternative fuels. In February, it submitted draft guidelines to the International Maritime Organization for handling methanol and ammonia.

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.
