Two organizations collaborate to improve safety at sea

Singapore Polytechnic and Vopak have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to collaborate on providing faculty members of the Singapore Maritime Academy with the necessary knowledge and skills for the safe handling of new marine fuels. This partnership will leverage Vopak’s expertise in handling fuels like ammonia, biofuels, and methanol to develop a curriculum tailored for maritime professionals aiming for a more sustainable future.

Vopak highlighted the importance of this collaboration in a social media post, emphasizing their commitment to maritime safety and Singapore’s goal of becoming a sustainable multi-fuels hub. By working together, Singapore Polytechnic and Vopak aim to equip the next generation of maritime professionals with the skills needed to navigate the evolving landscape of marine fuels and contribute to a more sustainable industry.

Rob Boudestijn, President of Vopak Terminals Singapore, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership and its potential to drive Singapore’s journey towards sustainability. This collaboration not only reinforces the commitment to maritime safety but also aligns with the broader goal of promoting sustainability in the maritime industry, ensuring a bright future for both professionals and the environment.
