90 per cent of world trade is carried by sea. Sea transport connectivity helps in facilitating our integration into the global economy by providing better access to markets and enhancing physical links within and between businesses. Hence, our maritime industry plays a crucial role in supporting Singapore’s overall economic development.
Vision
We aim to develop Singapore into a vibrant maritime hub, where we offer superior global connectivity, high service levels for maritime-related activities and a comprehensive suite of maritime ancillary services.
Policy Strategies
We formulate policies and strategies in support of Singapore’s drive to be an attractive maritime hub. Specific functions include growing Singapore as a premier hub port, attracting ship-owners, operators and ancillary maritime service providers to Singapore, and contributing to international efforts in navigational safety and security and protection of the marine environment.
