Maritime Port Authority Singapore

All marine and port activities in Singapore are supervised and governed by the marine and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA), a statutory organization. The MPA, which was established in 1996, is essential to Singapore's growth as a major marine hub. PSA Singapore will be the exclusive operator of the high-tech port being built by Tuas Port MPA in Tuas, Singapore. By the year 2040, it is anticipated to be completely operational and handle 65 million twenty-foot freight units. The MPA established the International marine Centre (IMC) 2030 Advisory Committee, which is made up of 22 business executives and industry professionals, to determine Singapore's future as a marine centre. The Fujitsu Human Centric AI Zinrai system, which uses artificial intelligence to identify the likelihood of ship collisions and forecast danger hotspots, is being tested by MPA in partnership with Fujitsu.

As one of the top ten largest ship registries in the world with a fleet of more than 4,400 ships and a tonnage of 96 million gross tons, Singapore is known for its high-quality ship registry today. Among the top ten registrations, SRS also has one of the youngest fleets. From 18 million GT in 1996 to 43.7 million GT in 2008, the SRS grew gradually by roughly 8%. The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore is responsible for the following major duties and tasks:
