The Singapore Maritime Foundation (“SMF”) and Pertamina International Shipping Pte Ltd (“Pertamina International Shipping Asia Pacific” or “PIS AP”) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to cooperate in creating more opportunities for youths and young adults to connect with the maritime industry—a vital economic sector at the nexus of world trade and the global supply chain.
Under the MOU, PIS AP aims to offer one (1) MaritimeONE Scholarships, two (2) MaritimeONE Internships, and sponsor one (1) MaritimeONE Case Competitions prizes over a five-year period from 2024-2028. In all of the above, SMF will provide secretariat support to organise and market the programmes to the talent pool.
“The Singapore Maritime Foundation curates and spearheads a series of targeted talent development programmes under the MaritimeONE umbrella, which signifies the industry coming together as one for a cause that all of us care deeply about. I warmly welcome Pertamina International Shipping Asia Pacific as a partner in our shared mission to build a talent pool for the industry, particularly at this exciting juncture as we prepare the workforce for the transformational changes that are taking shape,” said Mr. Hor Weng Yew, Chairman, Singapore Maritime Foundation.
“Pertamina International Shipping Asia Pacific is deeply happy to collaborate with the Singapore Maritime Foundation to demonstrate not just in words but in action in its commitment towards building a talent pool for the industry and to sincerely provide support and opportunity for the Maritime Singapore community,” said Pak Muhamad Resa, Managing Director, Pertamina International Shipping Asia Pacific.
