MPA and IRENA ink MoU to boost energy transition for maritime and port sectors

The partners will help countries to shift to clean energy via training programmes.

The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) and the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to accelerate the energy transition of global maritime and port sectors.

Under the MoU, MPA and IRENA will exchange knowledge and best practices across the maritime and energy industries, focusing on clean energy infrastructure and supply chains for zero and near-zero emission fuel.

The partners will also launch capacity-building training programmes to support countries in their transition to and adoption of zero and near-zero emission fuels and technologies.

In addition, MPA will also facilitate the secondment of officers to IRENA as part of the partnership.

The initiative aligns with the goals of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) of Singapore.

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.
