SINGAPORE, 13 March 2024 – The largest-ever Asia Pacific Maritime (APM) 2024 opened today across six halls of the Sands Expo & Convention Centre in Singapore. This three-day exhibition and conference features over 15,000 global brands on the floor and 150 conference speakers from some of the maritime industry’s key leaders in the region and beyond. The opening ceremony was officiated by Kenneth Lim, Assistant Chief Executive (Industry & Transformation), Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA).

In his welcome address, Yeh Chien Ee, President, Asia Pacific, RX Global, said, “The world stands at a crossroads of sustainable development. Maritime is challenged to be fully decarbonised by 2050 which requires massive investments. Beyond cleaner fuels, the industry also needs to move faster towards digital solutions like data analytics and further automation to improve efficiency as well as sustainability.” He continued, “To support the ecosystem towards a future ready world, access to APM conference and exhibition is offered free to all attendees. This is also our humble way to thank you and give back to all our partners who have been so supportive of APM over close to 34 years, especially during the difficult pandemic years.”

APM 2024, organised by RX Global, runs from today to Friday, 15 March 2024. With the theme ‘Future of Vessels, Solutions for Tomorrow’, the exhibition floor and conference sessions address the industry’s urgent need for digitalisation, efficiency, and sustainability amid today’s increasingly complex maritime needs. For the conference, parallel tracks will run across two stages on the show floor to enable more comprehensive knowledge-sharing about the latest maritime trends and technologies.

APM 2024 Day 1 Highlights

Today, the conference sessions focused on Sustainability and Innovation & Digitalisation.

From left to right: Andreea Miu, Head of Decarbonisation, Sustainable Shipping Initiative; Capt. Hari Subramaniam, Chairperson, The Nautical Institute (Singapore) & Regional Head of Business Relations, The Ship Owners Mutual P&I Association (Luxembourg) (Singapore Branch); Jan-Viggo Johansen, Managing Director, marinEV, Yinson Green Technologies; Jason Chia, Assistant Vice President, Global Design Centre, Seatrium; Kenneth Lim, Assistant Chief Executive (Industry & Transformation), Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA); Dr. Sanjay Kuttan, Chief Technology Officer, Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation; Torben Nørgaard, Chief Technology Officer – Energy & Fuels, Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping; Toshikazu Shiomi, Senior Vice President, Ocean Network Express; Douglas Raitt, Area Commercial Manager Singapore, Southeast Asia & Australasia, Lloyd’s Register

Following the opening ceremony, a super keynote panel titled ‘A Net Zero Carbon Maritime Industry – Will We Ever Get There?’ tackled the industry’s path towards net-zero emissions. The session, led by Kenneth Lim, delved into the challenges, opportunities, and ultimate feasibility of this ambitious goal. The panelists, consisting of leaders from profiles such as ship owners, ship operators, port authorities, highlighted that while for years we have been focusing on bunker fuels, today, this is no longer the case. In fact, there needs to be multi-solutions driven by the entire ecosystem. While they acknowledge the challenges currently faced by the industry, the panellists were largely optimistic that net-zero is very much possible. Beyond focusing on alternative fuels, they addressed the need for improvements in training and developments for seafarers, frameworks for industry players to reference (such as Life Cycle Assessments), and use of green steels to encourage circularity.

One of the sessions in the afternoon, titled ‘Indonesian Maritime Future Energy – Opportunities and Challenges’, zoomed in on Indonesia’s growing renewable energy scene for the maritime industry and highlighted the need to further improve technologies that will increase the capabilities of its shipbuilding industry. While there is currently a mandatory implementation of biofuels across the country, as well as growing popularity for LNG dual-fuels and energy storage systems, the session outlined the need for Indonesian maritime stakeholders to learn from global case studies, and for more subsidies that can further accelerate local adoption of renewable energy.
