MPA, private firms provide floating accommodation for foreign workers

Accommodations will be used starting next week.

The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) has partnered with port operator PSA Singapore, Keppel Offshore & Marine, UK-based Bibby Maritime, and The Ascott Limited to bring in and manage two floating accommodations to temporarily house foreign workers, according to an announcement.

The floating accommodations will be used to house healthy foreign workers starting next week, as they will have to go through the necessary health checks before boarding.

Essential needs of the occupants will be taken care of. Medical and isolation facilities will also be set up nearby on land to ensure that medical support is available. The floating accommodations will also tap on the multi-agency Forward Assurance Support Teams for additional assistance should the need arise.

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.
