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.

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.
