SINGAPORE : Singapore's port authority will be working with a global consultant on eco-friendly technology to initiate and promote R&D in the areas of maritime environment and clean technologies.
The Maritime and Port Authority (MPA) and Det Norske Veritas's Clean Technology Centre (CTC) on Thursday signed an agreement demonstrating their commitment to Singapore's goal of developing into a global maritime knowledge hub.
"Being the world's busiest port and a major flag registry, Singapore is strongly committed to environmentally-friendly shipping and port activities, especially on the prevention and reduction of pollution from ships and port activities," said MPA's assistant chief executive Khong Shen Ping.
CTC has previously signed co-operation agreements with the Energy Research Institute at Nanyang Technological University and the National University of Singapore.
