During his speech at the Opening Ceremony, Minister Iswaran reflected on the disruptions the maritime sector had to face as a result of the pandemic and ongoing geopolitical developments, and chartered the way forward for the industry. He said: "The maritime sector plays a critical role in international trade and the global economy. To ensure its reliability, resilience, and readiness for the future, the maritime industry must transform, and embody the essential elements of continuous innovation, boundaryless collaboration, and strong talent development. This endeavor requires partnership across nations and between the public and private sectors, for which the Singapore Maritime Week can serve as a valuable platform."
On the decarbonization agenda, Minister Iswaran said that Singapore is contributing at both the multilateral level and plurilateral level as a global maritime hub, and announced that Singapore will join the Clydebank Declaration for Green Shipping Corridors together with 22 other Signatory States. The Clydebank Declaration aims to establish green shipping corridors between ports by deploying zero-emission vessel technologies on voyages, or alternative fuel and charging infrastructure in ports.
