Singapore strengthens marine insurance with new digital platform

It will also expand marine insurance education and internships to grow local talent.

Singapore is stepping up efforts to strengthen its marine insurance sector amidst rising geopolitical, technological, and sustainability risks, Minister of State for Transport Baey Yam Keng said at the International Union of Marine Insurance (IUMI) 2025 Conference.

He said the Singapore War Risks Mutual (SWRM) has launched a digital platform to track vessels in real time and automate premium notifications.

The Singapore Shipping Association has also introduced a cyber insurance request process to help shipowners secure coverage.

To support the green transition, the Maritime and Port Authority is developing standards for bunkering alternative fuels, publishing guidelines for methanol in March and targeting ammonia standards by year-end.

Baey added that Singapore is expanding marine insurance education and internships to grow local talent and welcomed IUMI’s first Cargo Masterclass in Asia, to be held in Singapore next year.

Marine Insurance

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
