Seafarers play a vital role in the efficacy and sustainability of the maritime industry. In recognition of their hard work and dedication, MPA hosted an annual year-end appreciation dinner for seafarers and shipping community’s partners at Club@52, The Seacare Hotel in December 2024.

MPA’s Chief Executive, Mr. Teo Eng Dih, together with Singapore Maritime Officers' Union’s (SMOU) General Secretary, Ms. Mary Liew, attended the event together with some 120 guests. The lucky draw saw seafarers walking away with prizes graciously sponsored by the SMOU, Ocean Network Express (ONE), Jurong Port, NYK Shipmanagement and PSA Singapore, while beverages were kindly sponsored by the Singapore Organisation of Seamen (SOS).
