On April 16, as part of Singapore Maritime Week, Marine VesselPass (MVP) was announced at the Port of Singapore, an agreement between the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA), S&P Global Market Intelligence and Bunkerchain. This innovative service, the first of its kind, will digitalize the exchange of information between ships and port authorities, eliminating the need for manual checks. MVP will use a database managed by S&P Global MarketIntelligence, recognized universally in the maritime industry, to provide verified and secure credentials to vessels. The trial will involve routes between the port of Rotterdam and Singapore and will focus on a six-nine month pilot phase. The goal is to reduce the time and resources needed for manual checks, improving operational efficiency and reducing errors. Singapore's Transport Minister Amy Khor highlighted that if MVP is successful, it will make digital transactions in the maritime sector more secure, reliable and efficient, paving the way for the digitalisation of future operations.
