Singapore

SINGAPORE is looking to embrace alternative sources of marine fuels as it sets out to play its part in falling in with new emission standards for international shipping.

The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) has set aside S$5 million to co-fund the research and development on biofuels, methanol and other cleaner burning alternatives, said Senior Minister of State for Transport and Health Lam Pin Min at an industry event on Wednesday.
