Apart from maritime decarbonization, the MOU signed between the two parties also includes agreements to explore new routes to strengthen connectivity.

MSC and MPA will also advance technologies to improve vessel energy efficiency and operational performance, the press release said.

There is currently no LBM bunkering being carried out in Singapore.
