Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) is thrilled to collaborate with ABS on a surveyor attachment program to train MPA surveyors both locally and overseas on the latest ABS technologies processes, methodologies, and techniques of remote surveys, methanol fuel vessels, and gas carriers’ surveys.

Beyond ABS surveying and reporting, MPA trainees will participate in ABS remote surveys/audits, and updates on the most recent technology, such as batteries, methanol, ammonia, and biofuel modelling and simulation. It also Includes on-the-job training on the most up-to-date simulation and modelling technologies used to evaluate ship performance and carbon efficiency.

We are excited about this collaboration, and the positive impact both parties will gain on our operations and services and help us provide better maritime safety.
