PSA Singapore has joined ‘The Silk Alliance’, a cross supply-chain maritime partnership dedicated to the development of a fleet-specific fuel transition strategy for the intra-Asia container trade, based on the Hub’s First Movers Framework.

This multinational coalition was initiated by Lloyd’s Register Maritime Decarbonisation Hub, a joint initiative between Lloyd’s Register Group and Lloyd’s Register Foundation that brings together thought leaders and subject matter experts with the skills, knowledge and capabilities to help the maritime industry design, develop and commercialise the pathways to future fuels required for decarbonisation.

With the inclusion of PSA Singapore, ‘The Silk Alliance’ is set to benefit from an even wider range of deep maritime expertise from 12 top industry leaders to foster industry collaboration in the establishment of a Green Corridor Cluster in Singapore and the wider Asia region.

As a signatory to the Call to Action for Shipping Decarbonisation by the Global Maritime Forum’s Getting to Zero Coalition, PSA Singapore is also strongly committed to the mission of the Maritime Decarbonisation Hub to enable international shipping to achieve 5% adoption of zero carbon fuel by 2030.

PSA International Regional CEO Southeast Asia Ong Kim Pong said, “PSA is pleased to be a member of the Silk Alliance, joining other global maritime industry partners to pave a path towards increased maritime decarbonisation. As a trusted hub port and partner to global supply chain stakeholders, PSA remains steadfast in its commitment to the green and sustainable global movement of goods, including accelerating our digital solutions to enhance port and supply chain efficiency and resilience. We will continue to work with our customers and partners to scale up towards a greener maritime industry.”
