The Singapore Registry of Ships, one of the world's top five ship registries, held its annual Forum on 28 October 2024. The event was graced by Mr Teo Eng Dih, Chief Executive of MPA, and attended by over 500 industry representatives which marked the Forum’s highest recorded attendance.

Themed "Sailing Through the Waves of Change", the Forum featured a series of presentations on MPA’s various initiatives, such as the Maritime Energy Training Facility, Maritime Cyber Assurance and Operations Centre, maritime decarbonisation efforts, and performance of the SRS fleet.

The Forum also celebrated the excellence of the SRS community, with MPA presenting the SRS Net Tonnage Contributor Award, Green Ship Award and Sail Milestone Achievement Programme to deserving awardees.

The SRS Top Net Tonnage Contributor Award 2024, which recognises a company for registering the highest net gross tonnage under the SRS in the year, was presented to Evergreen Marine Corporation (Taiwan) Ltd.
