Ong Ye Kung eyes global maritime decarbonisation centre in Singapore

Public consultations will be held to develop the Maritime Singapore Decarbonisation Blueprint 2050 by year end, the transport minister added.

To compliment the Singapore Green Plan 2030, the Maritime and Port Authority (MPA) is coming up with the Singapore Decarbonisation Blueprint 2050.

Minister of Transport Ong Ye Kung, speaking at the 15^th Singapore Maritime Week Opening Ceremony, said this could include the establishment of a global maritime decarbonisation centre, based on the proposal of the International Advisory Panel on Maritime Decarbonisation.

"One proposal by the panel is to establish a global maritime decarbonisation centre in Singapore, where a cluster of like-minded stakeholders can coordinate, drive, and catalyse maritime decarbonisation solutions. I think this is a worthwhile, strategically important initiative," Ong said.

He added that the MPA is the agency tasked to set up the centre, with the support of key industry players.

As for the blueprint, public consultations will be launched to help outline Singapore's long-term strategies for sustainability.

"Maritime Singapore must contribute to the national and global sustainability agenda. As a major transhipment hub, we are already contributing significantly to carbon emission reduction, because using a transhipment hub is the most efficient way to run the global supply network," Ong said.

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.
