MPA extends port dues concession

Port dues concession, originally only until 31 March 2010, will be extended for another six months or until the end of September.

The extension will apply to the 10 percent port dues concession for all ocean-going ships with a port stay of not more than 10 days and to the 20 percent port dues concession for harbour craft engaged in commercial activities within Singapore port waters.

Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore Chief Executive, Mr Lam Yi Young, said, "MPA remains committed to the maritime industry and will continue to consult and work closely with industry partners to help them adapt to the changing business climate."

He added, "The extension of port dues concession will help the shipping industry to lower business costs and boost Singapore's attractiveness as a hub for maritime businesses."

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.
