Singapore declared as maritime capital of the world

It clinched the top sport for the third time.

Singapore was hailed as the top leading maritime capital of the world, according to the latest Menon’s Leading Maritime Capitals of the World Report.

Singapore ranked first in three categories: shipping, ports and logistics, and attractiveness and competitiveness.

Singapore also scored high in maritime technology and in finance and law. Significantly, Singapore jumped three places from fifth to the second position in the Maritime Technology category, affirming Singapore’s focus on technology, research and development are in the right direction.

The city-state's high ranking was driven by its strategic geographic location, as well as its position as an important centre for commercial management and the world’s second largest port.

More so, the Port of Singapore remains one of the world’s busiest ports. It sustained its performance in 2016, when vessel arrival tonnage increased by 6.3% to 2.66 billion gross tonnes.

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.
