On 26 September, the Hamburg Port Authority (HPA) and the Maritime and Port Authority Singapore (MPA) signed a letter of intent in the presence of Hamburg’s First Mayor Dr. Peter Tschentscher to strengthen their cooperation in the areas of digitalisation, decarbonisation and cyber security.
The letter of intent, signed by CEO of HPA Jens Meier, and Chief Executive of MPA Teo Eng Dih, marks the beginning of a strategic partnership between the two port authorities.
The two port authorities aim to develop joint projects and initiatives to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of both ports.
The cooperation could focus on pilot projects to facilitate efficient port calls between the ports of Hamburg and Singapore, exchange information on the introduction of zero emission fuels, or facilitate the exchange of cyber security information.
Both ports intend to formalise the cooperation through further agreements.
“The signing of this Letter of Intent with the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore is another important step towards a sustainable and digitalised future for our ports. By sharing knowledge and technologies, we can jointly develop innovative solutions that not only increase the efficiency of our port operations but also make an important contribution to decarbonisation and cyber security,” stated Jens Meier.
