Maritime Week: SG to sign declaration on green shipping

Minister Iswaran said this is part of Singapore’s decarbonisation agenda.

Singapore will be joining 22 other countries in establishing green routes for shipping, Minister for Transport and Minister-in-Charge of Trade Relations, S Iswaran, announced.

In his speech at the opening ceremony of the Maritime Week, Iswaran said Singapore will also sign the UK-led Clydebank Declaration for Green Shipping Corridors as part of its decarbonisation efforts.

The Clydebank Declaration aims to establish green shipping corridors between ports by deploying zero-emission vessel technologies on voyages, or alternative fuel and charging infrastructure in ports.

Apart from the signing of the declaration, Iswaran also announced that the Ministry of Transport and MPA will establish the Maritime International Advisory Panel (IAP).

The panel which will “seek global perspectives on emerging trends and critical developments that will shape the maritime industry,” will be chaired by Isawaran.

Meanwhile, other notable events during the first day of the 2022 Maritime Week include the official launch of the MarineTech Exhibition, the Maritime Software Developers’ Live TV, and the return of the Singapore Maritime Lecture and SMW Leaders’ Perspective.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
