Under the Maritime Singapore Green Initiative
The Singapore Maritime and Port Authority (MPA) issued a circular stating that enhancements have been made to the Green Ship Programme for Singapore-flagged ships.
Singapore-flagged ships that adopt approved SOx scrubber technology that goes beyond existing IMO emission requirements will enjoy a 255 reduction of their Initial Registration Fees and a 20% rebate on their Annual Tonnage Tax.
The Green Ship Programme will be expanded to recognise Singaporeflagged ships that adopt approved SOx scrubber technology that goes beyondexisting International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) emission requirements.The SOx scrubber technology is to be an equivalent arrangement, in terms ofSOx emission reductions, that is at least as effective as compared to usingfuel oil with a sulphur content limit value of 0.50% m/m
