Pilot Study on Establishing a UK Singapore and ASEAN Green Shipping Corridor (UKSGSC)

The Maritime Transport Research Group (MTRG) conducted UK’s first long-distance study on establishing a Green Shipping Corridor (GSC) between the UK and Singapore as a gateway to ASEAN. The study was sponsored under the UK-SG Green Economy Framework and funded by the UK High Commission in Singapore.

GSCs have grown in popularity since their inception in 2021 under the Clydebank Declaration. First-mover countries and governments have adopted GSCs as a key strategy to accelerate maritime decarbonisation. MTRG research team conducted the study in the UK, Singapore and Malaysia and analysed the main container trade lane between Asia – and Europe services. With over 60% of the new container new build vessels being dual-fuelled, the study found that the UK has to invest in alternate-fuel bunkering infrastructure supported by regulations and a shift in policy by the Government to lead GSC development. The study proposed a Trade and Investment UK-Singapore Green Shipping Corridor (UKSGSC) to strengthen the UKs leading position as a global financial and services hub, together with Singapore. This suggestion is expected to increase the UK’s trade and investment prospects to access the wider ASEAN markets.

The study highlighted the MTRG and PBS’s strong links within the maritime industry and commitment to furthering sustainable maritime economics. Several key stakeholders participated in the study (e.g. DfT, UKHO, etc).

Last week our Plymouth Business School students embarked on an all school trip to the Netherlands.

On the first leg of the trip our students ventured to Rotterdam for a Cruise. Our Maritime Business Students then visited the Port of Rotterdam to find out more about the shipping industry there.

On the second part of the leg the students travelled to Amsterdam where they took part in the Heineken Experience followed by a boat trip around the canals of Amsterdam.

Our students had a great time applying what they have learned throughout the year to the activities they undertook whilst in the Netherlands.

We call that experiential learning at is finest!

The new Business School Building; Fitzroy, is making great progress and is really starting to transform.

If you happen to be on campus do take a moment to look at what is to be the new home of Plymouth Business School.

We look forward to welcoming our staff and students here in the near distant future!

Recently we held our annual Enterprise Event which was organised by the Outreach Events team and co-run by Plymouth Business School.

Our Enterprise Event is designed for children from local schools to take part in an activity on-campus which involves making business decisions; this year students were asked to design a cruise excursion.

In groups, students were given a brief and they then created an excursion and configured the marketing mix towards it.

The students then presented their ideas in front of their peers and those in attendance of the event. The ideas put forward by all groups involved were innovative and interesting.

Most important of all, the students involved had a great time and enjoyed participating in the business activity!

Thank you to all those involved in setting up the event, running it, and getting the students involved.

Yesterday the programme lead for marketing, Ben Siu gave an informative talk about Plymouth Business School to a number of Plymouth City College Students.

In addition to providing information about the Business School, the students were able to ask Ben and our Ambassadors a series of questions, ranging from topics such as student-life, the facilities available, and what to expect from the Business School.

In the final section of the talk Ben gave the students a taster session, allowing them to gain an insight into what a real lecture would be like.

It was a great session overall, and it was amazing to see students who were interested in the Business School and particularly, our approach to AI. That definitely got some of the students excited!

Thank you to Plymouth City College, Sumalka Mendis, Ben Siu
and those involved in organising this.

We hope your students found this useful!
