Singapore Strengthens Maritime Ties with South Korea

Singapore and South of Korea have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that will see both the countries augment their combined efforts to encourage the safety of navigation and the protection of marine environment.  

The MOU was signed by the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) and the Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs (MLTM), Republic of Korea.

The memorandum aspires to cooperate in international forums such as IMO, the Regional Cooperation Agreement on Combating Piracy and Armed Robbery against Ships in Asia (ReCAAP) and the Co-operative Mechanism for Safety of Navigation and Environmental Protection in the Straits of Malacca and Singapore. MPA and MLTM would also share maritime technical expertise through forums, workshops and seminars.
