Singapore to develop digital platforms for maritime sector

This is to deepen collaboration and strengthen linkages within trade.

As it eyes the digitalisation of the maritime sector, the Singapore government announced the development of two new platforms will help shipping players.

Speaking at the opening ceremony of SEA Asia 2017, Coordinating Minister for Infrastructure Khaw Boon Wan said the Maritime Authority of Singapore is in the process of developing the Maritime Single Window, a portal that will allow for submitting documents required for port clearance.

Another is the development of the National Trade Platform, an integrated, one-stop portal that aims to connect shippers, government agencies, logistic players, shipping lines, and ports.

Meanwhile, Khaw also noted that the government is taking steps to help firms develop its capabilities to succeed in digitalisation. He cites MPA's enhanced Maritime Cluster Fund as an example. Khaw noted that the fund now provides more co-funding for companies that want to utilise technology to optimise their business processes.

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.
