SMF, IGP&I ink deal on marine liability education

The agreement establishes a framework to enhance education and develop talent in the maritime industry.

The Singapore Maritime Foundation (SMF) and the International Group of P&I Clubs (IGP&I) have signed a memorandum of understanding to work on promoting education and training of marine liability to the city-state’s talent pool.

The deal provides a framework to utilise the strengths and value propositions of both organisations to achieve the goal of providing high-quality education and the development of talent for the industry.

SMF and IGP&I will design and implement professional development courses on relevant topics, like introduction to protection & indemnity (P&I) insurance, limitation regimes, claims case studies, safety at sea, and liability and compensation.

SMF executive director Tan Beng Tee said the “MOU paves the way for both SMF and IGP&I to leverage on each other’s strengths to promote the maritime sector, raise the knowledge of P&I insurance, and build a maritime-ready workforce.”

Meanwhile, IGP&I CEO Nick Shaw said the organisation is committed to “supporting quality training and development globally within the maritime liability field.”

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.
