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 and 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.”
