The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) and Nippon Yusen <\/p>\n

Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to <\/p>\n

collaborate on maritime decarbonisation, digitalisation, and manpower <\/p>\n

development efforts.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"MPA,<\/p>\n

The MoU was signed by Teo Eng Dih, Chief Executive, MPA, and Takaya Soga, <\/p>\n

President and Group Chief Executive, NYK, on 2 July 2024.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In line with the International Maritime Organization\u2019s (IMO) revised <\/p>\n

Greenhouse Gas Strategy 2023, the Paris Agreement, and international energy and <\/p>\n

climate targets, MPA and NYK will collaborate on various initiatives aimed at <\/p>\n

promoting a sustainable maritime industry.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The partnership will include promoting the safe use of maritime fuels such <\/p>\n

as biofuels, methanol and low or zero-carbon ammonia through a phased <\/p>\n

approach.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Both parties will reportedly discuss maritime training programmes for <\/p>\n

seafarers on ammonia-fuelled vessels and other sustainability-related skills and <\/p>\n

competencies to support the industry\u2019s transition towards alternative low- or <\/p>\n

zero-carbon fuels, including leadership programmes for local professionals.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cThis MoU marks a significant milestone in the longstanding partnership <\/p>\n

between MPA and NYK,\u201d said Teo Eng Dih, Chief Executive of MPA.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a major bunkering and a maritime hub port, Singapore is in a phase of <\/p>\n

introducing alternative fuels and enhancing manpower development.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cMPA looks forward to our partnership with NYK to unlock our collective <\/p>\n

potential and develop solutions that can be scaled up to benefit the global <\/p>\n

maritime community in the move towards smart and sustainable shipping.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Takaya Soga, President and Chief Executive Officer of NYK said: \u201cNYK has <\/p>\n

been proactively working on decarbonisation initiatives, digitalisation, and <\/p>\n

maritime human resource development to materialise a sustainable maritime <\/p>\n

industry.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have begun ammonia-fuel-related business development including <\/p>\n

bunkering projects, endorsing the Singaporean government\u2019s initiative on fuel <\/p>\n

ammonia. Singapore plays a significant role in the maritime industry as the <\/p>\n

world\u2019s largest hub port for trans-shipment and bunkering.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are delighted to conclude this MoU with MPA as we share the same goals. <\/p>\n

This MoU will accelerate cooperation between MPA and NYK and contribute to the <\/p>\n

sustainable development of maritime industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In April 2024, one year after the signing of the MoU to establish a Green <\/p>\n

and Digital Shipping Corridor, the MPA, Port of Los Angeles, and Port of Long <\/p>\n

Beach completed a comprehensive baselining study.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

More recently, NYK and PT Pertamina International Shipping (PIS) signed a <\/p>\n

MoU to collaborate in the field of liquefied carbon dioxide (LCO2) and liquefied <\/p>\n

natural gas (LNG).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
