MPA, Wärtsilä collaborate to accelerate maritime decarbonisation, digitalisation

The collaboration would develop solutions that scaled to benefit the global maritime community.

The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) and Wartsila have signed a memorandum of understanding to introduce next-generation renewable fuels, optimise digital port operations, and develop future talent.

The collaboration would allow the two agencies to explore renewable fuel technologies and procedures to ensure safe handling and operation, develop reliable, secure, and cost-effective data exchanges between vessels and port operations, and work with partners and stakeholders to equip the maritime workforce with skills and competencies relating to digitalisation and decarbonisation.

Kenneth Lim, MPA Assistant Chief Executive of Industry and Transformation, said that the agency looked forward to working with Wärtsilä "to unlock our collective potential and develop solutions that scaled to benefit the global maritime community."

"The partnership will promote innovation and accelerate the transition to new cleaner fuels and adopting the latest technologies. By working in close cooperation with all relevant stakeholders and qualified partners, Wärtsilä and MPA are making a concerted effort to create more efficient, cost-effective, and sustainable maritime operations," said Roger Holm, Wärtsilä Marine Power Preside and Wärtsilä executive vice president.
