All aboard for Singapore Maritime Week
The Republic's annual event is not aimed at just the industry, but also at the public, many of whom are all at sea about how important shipping is to the port city
OUR friends at the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) tell us that Singapore Maritime Week (SMW), which is on next week, will gather the international maritime community for a week of conferences, dialogues, exhibitions and social events marking all things maritime.
They also say the range of activities and events they and various industry stakeholders and research and educational institutions are all organising reflects "the vibrancy and diversity of Singapore as a global hub port and leading international maritime centre".
MPA also points to the cosmopolitan profile of participants, which reflects the presence of shipping-related businesses and organisations in Singapore. It describes SMW as a "global maritime hub for driving connectivity, innovation and talent through people, ideas and opportunities".
