The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) and classification society Bureau Veritas (BV) have renewed their memorandum of understanding (MoU) to deepen collaboration in maritime digitalization, decarbonization, and talent development.
It is understood that this renewal builds on the two companies’ collaboration since 2022 and includes plans for the establishment of a BV global innovation hub in Singapore, which will reportedly focus on research and application of emerging technologies with multi-industry impact, including cybersecurity standards and guidelines, and the design and integration of new battery technologies and fuel cell systems.
