The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) and the Norwegian Ministry of Climate and Environment (NMCE) have signed an agreement with the International Maritime Organization (IMO) to assist developing countries in their efforts to reduce emissions from ships and in ports.
Under a memorandum of understanding (MoU) inked in London this week, the parties will exchange experience, knowledge and best practice, and undertake joint resource mobilisation with a view to collaborate on actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from ships and the activities of ships in ports, within the frameworks of the NextGEN Connect initiative and the GreenVoyage2050 Project.
The NextGEN Connect initiative was established between the IMO and the MPA in April 2022 with the aim to bring industry, academia and global research centres together, to offer inclusive solutions for maritime decarbonisation. The IMO-Norway GreenVoyage2050 Project was established in May 2019 by the IMO, backed by the Norwegian government funding to support developing countries in their efforts to implement the “Initial IMO Strategy on the Reduction of GHG Emissions from Ships”.
