Developing an international maritime centre

摘要

In 2010, the Port of Singapore showed strong growth in all areas - vessel arrival tonnage, container throughput, cargo throughput and bunker sales. In particular, vessel arrival tonnage and bunker sales in 2010 were both at record high levels and we retained our leading positions as the world's busiest port by vessel arrival tonnage and the world's top bunkering port.The Singapore Registry of Ships continued to grow, crossing the 48m gt mark at the end of last year. The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) is committed to working closely with the industry to ensure that the Port of Singapore continues to offer safe, efficient and reliable and competitive marine and port services. In addition, we formulated a five year Maritime Manpower Development Plan to build Singapore's maritime manpower capabilities and strengthen maritime education and training. MPA also committed $200m to promote maritime research, education and training by setting up the Singapore Maritime Institute.This was done in partnership with the Agency for Science.Technology and Research (A*STAR), the Economic Development Board (EDB) and tertiary institutions.
