An industry-supported facility has been set up by Singapore for training the global maritime workforce in the handling and operating of vessels using clean marine fuels.
We are delighted to join the Maritime Energy Training Facility (METF) in Singapore as one of 22 partners, collaborating with the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA).
As the maritime industry evolves with a growing emphasis on sustainability and decarbonisation, the establishment of the METF is set to train approximately 10,000 seafarers and maritime personnel in the handling and operating of vessels using clean marine fuels by the 2030s. This facility will provide vital training on alternative fuel management, ensuring the global maritime workforce is prepared for the future.
Anglo-Eastern has long been committed to excellence in ship management and maritime training. In line with this, we are looking forward to validating existing training provisions and seeing how we can assist in the co-designing of value-added courses.
The joining ceremony was held at Singapore International Bunkering Conference and Exhibition (SIBCON) in October, attended by Dr Amy Khor, Senior Minister of State of the Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment, Singapore. Anglo-Eastern was proudly represented by Vikas Trivedi, Managing Director, Technical of our Singapore tanker division.
