MPA Singapore, IRENA collaborate on energy transition for maritime and port sectors

The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) and the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) have formalised their collaboration through a memorandum of understanding (MoU).

The two partners aim to accelerate the energy transition of global maritime and port sectors with the initiative aligning with the goals of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) of Singapore.

The MoU was officially exchanged between Teo Eng Dih, Chief Executive of MPA, and Francesco La Camera, Director-General of IRENA, during the Singapore-IRENA High Level Forum at the Singapore International Energy Week on 22 October.

Under the agreement, MPA and IRENA will bring together their expertise in renewable energy and maritime innovation to promote knowledge exchange and best practices across the maritime and energy industries, focussing on clean energy infrastructure and supply chains for zero and near-zero emission fuel.

Additionally, the two organisations will support countries in their transition to and adoption of zero and near-zero emission fuels and technologies through capacity-building training programmes. As part of this partnership, MPA will also facilitate secondment of officers to IRENA.

Teo Eng Dih, commented, “This partnership with IRENA brings together our complementary strengths on clean energy solutions to promote knowledge exchange, best practices, and capacity building. By working closely with diverse stakeholder groups across the maritime value chain, the partnership aims to foster an inclusive approach to decarbonisation and support for digital solutions to upskill maritime professionals and help accelerate the sector’s transition to cleaner energy.”
