Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) hosted the annual Singapore Registry of Ships (SRS) Forum on 3 November. The forum was attended by more than 200 attendees from shipping companies and other maritime entities.
The forum, themed “Resilience, Strength and Adaptability” focused on how owners, managers and operators of Singapore-flagged ships can tap on opportunities brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, in areas such as digitalisation and decarbonisation.
Speaking at the opening address, MPA Chief Executive Quah Ley Hoon said “While the pandemic has thrown Maritime Singapore with many challenges, it also presented us with opportunities to emerge stronger.”
“To do this, MPA will strengthen partnerships, drive digitalisation and decarbonisation of shipping to ensure that the Singapore Registry of Ships is adaptable and agile in the new normal. MPA will also continue supporting our seafarers, the backbone of the maritime industry especially during the pandemic”
