SINGAPORE, March 27 (Xinhua) -- Singapore has launched a digital platform to enhance maritime workforce training, with full implementation expected in the second half of 2025, the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) announced on Thursday.

The prototype Maritime Energy Training Facility Digital Platform, designed to provide training in the safe handling of alternative marine fuels and emerging technologies, was showcased as part of the Singapore Maritime Week 2025.

Maritime companies, seafarers, and professionals will be able to browse courses, register, make payments, and track their training progress and certifications through the platform, the MPA said in a press release.
