MANILA, Philippines – Singapore is planning to establish a Maritime Institute (MI) that would adopt a holistic approach to maritime education.

This was disclosed by Teo Chee Hean, Singapore's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Defense during the 25th anniversary of the Singapore Shipping Association's 25th anniversary.
