SMF, IGP&I ink deal on marine liability education

The agreement establishes a framework to enhance education and develop talent in the maritime industry.

The Singapore Maritime Foundation (SMF) and the International Group of P&I Clubs (IGP&I) have signed a memorandum of understanding to work on promoting education and training of marine liability to the city-state’s talent pool.

The deal provides a framework to utilise the strengths and value propositions of both organisations to achieve the goal of providing high-quality education and the development of talent for the industry.

SMF and IGP&I will design and implement professional development courses on relevant topics, like introduction to protection & indemnity (P&I) insurance, limitation regimes, claims case studies, safety at sea, and liability and compensation.

SMF executive director Tan Beng Tee said the “MOU paves the way for both SMF and IGP&I to leverage on each other’s strengths to promote the maritime sector, raise the knowledge of P&I insurance, and build a maritime-ready workforce.”

Meanwhile, IGP&I CEO Nick Shaw said the organisation is committed to “supporting quality training and development globally within the maritime liability field.”

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.
