Insights

  • Singapore and India have signed a LOI to collaborate on maritime digitalisation and decarbonisation.
  • It aims to establish a Singapore-India GDSC, focusing on developing zero-emission technologies and digital solutions.
  • India's IT expertise and potential for green marine fuel production, combined with Singapore's transshipment and bunkering capabilities, will drive the initiative's success.
Singapore and India have signed a letter of intent (LOI) to cooperate on maritime digitalisation and decarbonisation. The LOl was inked by Teo Eng Dih, chief executive of the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore and R Lakshmanan, joint secretary of India's Ministry of Ports.

Under the LOl, both sides will collaborate on maritime digitalisation and decarbonisation projects, including identifying relevant stakeholders who could contribute to the effort, and work towards formalising the partnership through a memorandum of understanding on a Singapore-India Green and Digital Shipping Corridor (GDSC).

India is a leading player in information technology with the potential to become a major producer and exporter of green marine fuels. Singapore, as a key transshipment and bunkering hub, also supports a dynamic research and innovation ecosystem, according to the Ministry of Ports.

The Singapore-India GDSC, when established, will enhance collaboration from both countries and help accelerate the development and uptake of zero or near-zero Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emission technologies and the adoption of digital solutions.
