The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) and Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to deepen their partnership and accelerate maritime decarbonization, digitalization, and human resource development efforts. The MoU was signed by Teo Eng Dih, Chief Executive, MPA, and Takaya Soga, President and Group Chief Executive, NYK, on July 2. The partnership will include promoting the safe use of maritime fuels such as biofuels, methanol and low or zero-carbon ammonia through a phased approach. Both parties will discuss maritime training programs for seafarers on ammonia-fueled vessels and other sustainability-related skills and competencies to support the industry's transition towards alternative low or zero- carbon fuels, including leadership programs for local professionals.
