PRESIDENT’S
FORWORD
PRESIDENT’S
FOREWORD
“ SSA’s goal is to work
with our public and
private partners to
establish Singapore as 10 years ago, the shipping industry, and the rest of the world economy, was rocked by a financial crisis that saw the
collapse of the investment bank Lehman Brothers and an unprecedented global economic downturn whose effects
the Global Maritime are still with us today – even now, the recovery of freight rates in some segments is still uncertain.
Hub for Connectivity, At the same time, there is a very real concern amongst shipowners about a slew of regulations from the International
Innovation and Talent.” Maritime Organisation (IMO) with which they will soon have to comply. Two of the most significant regulations
affecting the industry are the Ballast Water Convention and the 2020 global sulphur cap.
With regard to the ballast water convention, your Association welcomed the decision of the 71st meeting of the
MR. ESBEN POULSSON IMO Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC 71) to adopt a compromise on compliance dates for ballast
PRESIDENT water discharge. Ships constructed after 8 September 2017 must comply on delivery, while existing ships in general
Chairman must comply by the first IOPP renewal after 8 September 2019. This long-awaited agreement provides industry
Enesel Pte Ltd
with much-needed certainty regarding the mandatory compliance dates for treatment of ballast water discharge.
Nonetheless, while we have won some breathing room, owners must still make some hard decisions with regard to
ballast water treatment systems.
And while the Ballast Water Convention may be of considerable importance, the IMO’s decision to implement a
0.50% sulphur cap on marine fuel with effect from 1 January 2020 is arguably one of the industry’s most defining
movements since we moved away from coal to oil over a hundred years ago.
The IMO reached its decision in October 2016, but even today, a lot of shipping companies are still uncertain about
what to do next – for most of us, the choice is between shifting to a compliant fuel, probably in the form of a new
blended 0.5% sulphur bunker fuel, or fitting a scrubber. Both options pose a host of questions which will have to be
answered, and soon. Similarly, a great deal of work has to be done at IMO to determine how the cap will be regulated
and enforced so as to ensure a level playing field.
Uncertainties remain, but one thing is for certain – with these regulations, among others, coming into effect at
roughly the same time, the impact will be considerable.
To this end, you may be assured that your Association will be working to ensure that our members have access to
all the information that they need to make informed decisions. In addition, we will be working very closely with the
Maritime & Port Authority of Singapore and other stakeholders to help ensure that our views are considered at the
IMO, and that these regulations will be implemented as smoothly as possible. We will be paying particular attention
to issues relating to the 2020 sulphur cap, given Singapore’s unique status as one of the world’s leading ship
registries and bunkering ports.

MaritimeONE
The SSA, together with its maritime partners, the
Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA),
Singapore Maritime Foundation (SMF) and Association
of Singapore Marine Industries (ASMI), play an active role
under the MaritimeONE initiative since its launch in April

The main objective of the MaritimeONE partnership is
to create awareness of the maritime industry, especially
among students and the general public. Some of the
activities include industry awareness talks, scholarship
offers, student outreach events and regular networking
events for employers and tertiary students.
Since 2013, the SSA has been spearheading the Maritime

secondary school students. Students are brought on a
learning journey to various maritime venues. This year,
SSA will be leading a group of students on the MEP
