A global conversation for the maritime sector

TO reinforce its position as one of the region's leading maritime centres, it is important for Singapore to stay on top of the changes affecting the fast-evolving global industry.

This is one of the aims of the annual Singapore Maritime Week (SMW), which sees delegates representing port authorities, industry leaders, as well as maritime professionals from around the world gather in Singapore to discuss key trends, opportunities and challenges facing the sector.

"Singapore Maritime Week brings together stakeholders from around the world to exchange views on key issues of the day. Over the years, SMW has grown in size and significance, and is now one of the largest maritime events in the region. The expansion of SMW reflects the growing role that Singapore plays as an international hub port and maritime centre," said Minister of Transport and Second Minister for Defence Lui Tuck Yew, who officially opened the event on Sunday.
