The 17th edition of Asia Pacific Maritime (APM), Southeast Asia’s maritime, workboat and offshore exhibition and conference, was officially opened by Ms Quah Ley Hoon, Chief Executive of the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA), at the Sands Exhibition and Convention Centre on Wednesday (16 March) morning.

The first large-scale in-person maritime tradeshow since the pandemic, which will be held from 16 to 18 March 2022, will attract 7,000 attendees from Asia and beyond including industry professionals, decision-makers, subject experts, and government officials, as well as more than 250 exhibitors from 27 countries and regions, and eight official pavilions from Australia, Germany, Singapore, South Korea (two contingents), the Netherlands and the United Kingdom.

Organised by RX Singapore, APM 2022 has implemented contactless features at the show such as contactless registration and Lead Retrieval mobile app, as part of its efforts to reduce touch points during this pandemic.

Besides the exhibition, APM 2022 also hosts a three-day conference, comprising the Asia Container Shipping & Ports, Maritime Cyber Security and Maritime Technology and Sustainability Forums. The conference is offered free to all attendees to support the government’s upskilling and learning initiatives.

Over 60 top executives are physically present to lead in-depth discussions focusing on decarbonisation, digitalisation, and sustainability of the maritime sector as a whole. A notable feature of this year’s conference is the participation of speakers outside of the maritime industry, such as professional services firm KPMG who will lead the maritime cyber security panel discussion, drawing upon their wealth of experience in conducting cyber risk assessments and threat modelling.

In his welcome address, Mr Yip Je Choong, Managing Director of RX said, “For the last 30 years, APM has been known to be the place where the latest maritime innovations and solutions are presented; where engaging discussions to chart the future of the industry are conducted; and where significant business deals are sealed. Despite the advent of digital in the last 2 years, we know that it complements, but will never replace face to face engagement. Nothing builds stronger relationships than in-person interactions.”

Speaking at the opening ceremony, Guest-of-Honour Ms Quah Ley Hoon, Chief Executive, MPA said: “Shipping is a global business and all industry and government stakeholders share a common set of challenges. These include supply chain resilience, sustainability, maritime cyber security as well as attracting and nurturing talent. Events like Asia Pacific Maritime play an important role to bring together insights and ideas and to help build partnerships to address these challenges. Collaboration is key. On this note, I would like to congratulate ASMI and the Korea Marine Equipment Association (KOMEA), on your signing of a Memorandum of Understanding to promote collaboration and opportunities in marine and offshore projects.”

Singapore-based bunker trading firm Sea Oil Petroleum Pte Ltd (Sea Oil), a wholly owned subsidiary of Thailand-listed Sea Oil Public Company Limited, has received International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) EU certification, learned Manifold Times.

ISCC EU is a certification scheme that verifies compliance with the sustainability criteria for biofuels and bioliquids within the European Union. It ensures that biomass and biofuels used in the EU meet specific environmental and social requirements, including greenhouse gas emission reductions and traceability throughout the supply chain.

The milestone, which took place on 22 May after two months of processing, was reflective of the company’s aim to expand its bunker fuel product offerings to clients seeking sustainable solutions, Steve Goh, Head of Trading at Sea Oil, told the bunkering publication.

“It is important for the bunkering sector to remain relevant, adapt, and play an active role in supporting shipping’s decarbonisation journey,” said Mr Goh while adding that, “this is in line with our group’s green initiative and sustainability drive.”

“As such, Sea Oil seeks to do its part for climate change by giving options to support to our end users.

“By achieving ISCC EU certification, Sea Oil will be in a better position to provide green marine fuel solutions to customers embarking on this journey towards net zero.”

Manifold Times in May reported Sea Oil welcoming a Senior Bunker Trader to its team.

The company started 2025 with an expanded team on both international and local fronts.

Anemoi Rotor Sail production facility MT

Wind propulsion solutions provider Anemoi Marine Technologies on Tuesday (8 July) officially opened its new Rotor Sail production facility in China.

Strategically located on the banks of the Yangtze River, Anemoi’s facility is located in Jingjiang City, Jiangsu Province, within Daming Heavy Industry’s manufacturing base.

The facility provides direct access to port infrastructure, enabling seamless logistics for import, export, and delivery.

With barge transport available on-site, Rotor Sails can be transported efficiently and installed directly at nearby major shipyards, streamlining operations and minimising environmental impact.

“This is more than just a new site,” said Clare Urmston, CEO of Anemoi.

“It’s a fully integrated, end-to-end production hub where every stage, from steel fabrication and precision assembly to rigorous testing and quality assurance, is handled under one roof.

“That means faster turnaround, uncompromised quality, and complete oversight by our expert team, on site, from start to finish. Anemoi’s strategy is quality first and this site enables exactly that.”

With an annual production capacity of 250 Rotor Sails, and the option to expand further and store units for fast turnaround, the new site positions Anemoi to meet surging global demand and support its customers in achieving critical decarbonisation goals.

Global Energy Storage Group (GES) on Wednesday (9 July) announced the completion of the sale of its terminal located in the Port of Rotterdam., marking its exit from the Dutch market.

The facility, which includes 212,000 m³ of tank storage and approximately 18 hectares of development land in the Europoort area, was sold to Tepsa, a European bulk liquid and gas storage operator.

The transaction represents a key milestone for GES as it continues to focus its resources on expanding its presence in the fast-growing Asian market, with particular emphasis on its strategic terminal at Port Klang, Malaysia.

It also ensures that the Rotterdam terminal is passed into the hands of a high-quality follow-on owner well positioned to take the asset forward. The transaction also delivers a strong return for GES’s shareholders.

“Part of the investment cycle is realising value from assets at the right time, and we’re confident this was the right moment for GES,” commented Peter Vucins, CEO of GES.

“We are now fully focused on growing our business in Asia, with Port Klang at the centre of that strategy. We extend our sincere thanks to the Rotterdam team and our customers for their support and for maintaining a safe, reliable, and forward-looking operation throughout our ownership.”

With the sale of the Rotterdam terminal, GES no longer holds assets in the Netherlands.
