MPA-led work group updates port authorities on emergency protocol guidelines being developed to strengthen preparedness for incidents involving alternative maritime fuels.
Alternative bunker fuels and port-to-port data exchange were the highlights presented during the 11th Port Authorities Roundtable (PAR), according to the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) on Wednesday (28 October).
The event brought together leaders from 22 port authorities in Perth, Australia, from 21 to 23 October 2026, hosted by Pilbara Ports.
Under the theme “The Commitment of Global Ports to Cooperation, Coordination and Collective Action”, discussions focused on digital transformation and innovation, maritime decarbonisation, and strengthening port systems in uncertain times.
MPA’s Chief Executive, Mr Wee Keong Ang, shared Singapore’s perspectives on building resilient and future-ready port systems through long-term planning, early capability development, and stronger port-to-port coordination.
