Singapore and India are working on a roadmap to establish infrastructure for digital corridor collaboration and green shipping, a senior official said on Tuesday.
The roadmap is part of a larger collaboration between the two countries in line with global decarbonisation initiatives as the world's maritime industries seek to become environment friendly, said Vijay Kumar, Secretary of the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways.
A Memorandum of Understanding is being worked out with infrastructure details, including investment, storage tank capacity, pipelines, bunkering facilities and future demand for green fuel.
Both nations complement each other – India for its cheaper green energy and resources, and Singapore for being a global shipping and maritime hub.
The Indian delegation at the maritime week includes senior decision-makers from the Directorate General of Shipping, Shipping Corporation of India, VOC Port Authority, Deendayal Port Authority, major Indian Shipyards, and the Indian Ports Association.
