Currently, many enterprises have challenges in reviewing what’s core for their businesses, and systematically lay out a viable and focused digital plan to achieve their digital transformation.

Therefore, drawing upon the insights from the Digitalization Acceleration Index, MPA, the Singapore Shipping Association (SSA) and Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) co-developed the MDP, which is part of MPA's Sea Transport Industry Transformation Map efforts.

The main body of the MDP is organised into three sections:

Discover – presents an overview of digitalisation in the maritime, the drivers of digitalisation at global and sectoral levels as well as the benefits of levelling up on the digitalisation front.
Framework – provides a Digital Transformation Framework that would guide maritime companies through the “why”, “what” and “how” of their digitalisation journey.
Resources – outlines the various avenues of government support available.
