What to expect from the 16th Maritime Week

The hybrid event will be held from 4 to 8 April.

Experts and thought leaders from the maritime industry will gather anew for the 16th edition of the annual Singapore Maritime Week (SMW) to be held from 4 to 8 April.

Anchored on the theme of “Transformation for Growth,” the hybrid event will spotlight the challenges and opportunities that trends like digitalisation create for the maritime industry.

This year’s SMW will have more than 20 events, including 10 events led by the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA). Key events expected from the week-long event include MarineTech Conference and Exhibition to be held from 4 to 6 April, and 5 to 6 April, respectively.

Other major events expected are the signing of several Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) and collaborative projects with industry partners on digitalisation, decarbonisation, maritime services and talents; and the launch of MPA Academy’s inaugural Maritime Transformation and Innovation Programme (MTIP).

Deputy Prime Minister and Coordinating Minister for Economic Policies Mr Heng Swee Keat is also expected to unveil the deals of the Sea Transport Industry Transformation Map Refresh in his keynote speech at the event.

More than 10 International Organisations (IO) and over 100 keynote speakers are expected to grace the 2022 SMW.

The public can likewise be part of the SMW by participating in any of the 18 Singapore Maritime Trails (SMTs) and Singapore Maritime Gallery (SMG) tours where they can receive curated mementoes. The tours will be open from 9 to 10 April.

Some of the landmarks included in the SMTs are Fort Canning Park, Singapore River, Telok Ayer Basin, Malay Heritage Centre, Keppel Harbour, and Clifford Square.

The SMTs and SMG tours are free, and members of the public may book via www.smw.sg/public-outreach/public.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
