MPA attracts financing and insurance proposals for electric harbour craft

It received a total of 19 proposals.

The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) has received 12 financing and seven insurance proposals following its Expression of Interest (EOI) call to support early adopters of electric harbour craft (e-HC).

Income Insurance Limited, QBE Insurance (Singapore) Pte Ltd, The Shipowners’ Mutual Protection and Indemnity Association (Luxembourg) Singapore Branch, NorthStandard Limited, Tigermar Global Pte Ltd, Cambiaso Risso Asia Pte Ltd, and Lockton Companies (Singapore) Pte Ltd. submitted the seven insurance proposals.

MPA has also shortlisted EOI proposals to offer direct debt financing options for harbour craft owners from DBS Bank Ltd, United Overseas Bank Limited, BNP Paribas Singapore Branch, KfW IPEX-Bank Asia Ltd, and Société Générale.

MPA will issue a closed call for proposals in the next phase of the EOI process to further select the alternative financing proposal(s) for implementation, with more details to be announced in 2H24.

MPA is working with EnterpriseSG and industry partners to develop the e-HC charging infrastructure and ecosystem in the Port of Singapore.

Both parties will also onboard alternative financial solutions to the Enterprise Financing Scheme – Green (EFS-Green), with EnterpriseSG undertaking risk-sharing of 70% to support lending by participating FIs.

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.
