critical shift to alternative fuels<\/a> for greener shipping, digitalisation, cybersecurity, innovation and training.<\/p>\n\u201cThis partnership marks an important step in strengthening maritime collaboration between Singapore and France. By working together, we aim to advance practical solutions that support a more sustainable and digitally connected maritime future,\u201d said Mr Teo Eng Dih, Chief Executive of MPA.<\/p>\n
Supply chain focus<\/h4>\n
A key highlight of the agreement is the development of a bio-methane supply chain and certification framework to ensure compliance with global sustainability standards.<\/p>\n
Under this partnership, the first-ever bio-methane bunkering trial in Singapore will be conducted with shipping giant CMA CGM, marking a milestone for alternative fuels in Asia.<\/p>\n
On the digital front, MPA will team up with HAROPA PORT and the Port of Marseille-Fos to trial port call optimisation and automate port clearance processes.<\/p>\n
These initiatives aim to enhance ship-to-shore data exchange, reduce manual paperwork, and improve operational efficiency.<\/p>\n
The partnership also encourages maritime innovation and entrepreneurship, connecting companies and startups from both countries through platforms like PIER71TM Smart Port Challenge, ZEBOX and Landing Pad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
