Hamburg and Singapore begin strategic partnership
(Posted on 08/10/24)
The Hamburg Port Authority (HPA) and the Maritime and Port Authority Singapore (MPA) have signed a letter of intent in the presence of Hamburg's First Mayor Dr. Peter Tschentscher to intensify their cooperation in the areas of digitalisation, decarbonisation and cyber security.
The letter of intent, signed by Jens Meier, CEO of the HPA, and Teo Eng Dih, Chief Executive of the MPA, marks the beginning of a strategic partnership between the two port authorities. The aim is 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," says Jens Meier, CEO of the HPA.
As Germany's biggest multipurpose port, Hamburg is of crucial importance for European inland markets with up to 450 million consumers. Hamburg generates a total annual gross value added of around 20 billion euros and directly and indirectly employs more than 260.000 people.
