MPA signs deal to train more global maritime leaders

Singapore

THE Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) is aiming to train more global maritime industry leaders even as it tries to develop the local maritime workforce further.

The authority's training arm, MPA Academy, on Wednesday inked a memorandum of understanding to work on leadership development programmes with the World Maritime University, a post-graduate university set up in 1983 by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). The academy and the university may also exchange faculty members, as part of the deal.
