Singapore: The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) said in a statement yesterday 13 more organisations signed its Maritime Singapore Green Pledge during the opening ceremony of the 17th Singapore International Bunkering Conference and Exhibition (SIBCON).
MPA said there was now a total of 40 organisations that have pledged their commitment to be responsible members of the international maritime community by supporting and promoting clean and green shipping in Singapore.
Lam Yi Young, chief executive of MPA said, "We started the Green Pledge last year as part of the Maritime Singapore Green Initiative. Through the Green Pledge, we want to encourage the maritime industry to come forward and play an active role in promoting clean and green shipping in Singapore."
