Singapore – IMO Third Country Training Programme

Through the Singapore-IMO Third Country Training Programme (TCTP), Singapore has been sharing its maritime knowledge and experience with over 2,100 participants from over 90 countries from regions such as Asia, Africa, Americas, Caribbean, Middle East and the Pacific Islands since 1998.

Aligned with the IMO’s objective of “promoting safe, secure and efficient shipping on clean oceans”, the Singapore-IMO TCTP Memorandum of Understanding was the first of its kind in institutionalising a member State’s commitment to the IMO’s Integrated Technical Cooperation Programme. The MOU was extended indefinitely in 2000.

Under the Singapore-IMO TCTP, courses are conducted either in Singapore or in countries covered under the geographical scope of the MOU. As an IMO Council member, Singapore will strive to continue delivering relevant courses to even more IMO member States under the Singapore-IMO TCTP.
