Grant awarded to CIL Oceans Law and Policy Team by the Singapore Maritime Institute to fund research under the CIL-MPA Oceans Governance Research Programme for three years
In 2016, the Maritime and Port Authority (MPA) and Centre for International Law (CIL) Oceans Law and Policy Team partnered to establish the MPA-CIL Oceans Governance Research Programme with the generous support of the Singapore Maritime Institute (SMI) from April 2016 – December 2019, renewed again from January 2020 to June 2023.
The OGRP was renewed for an additional three years from July 2023 to June 2026. Research under the 2023 OGRP covers four broad areas: marine environmental governance; international climate change governance; challenges to the safety and security of shipping; and implications of autonomous ships and related technological developments on the regulation of shipping. On 21 August 2023, a virtual signing ceremony was held to celebrate the third phase of partnership between MPA and CIL.
