No, MPA and PSA are not the same.
MPA stands for the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore, which is a regulatory and development authority for the maritime industry in Singapore. It is responsible for the overall planning, coordination, and promotion of Singapore’s maritime industry, as well as the regulation of maritime activities within Singapore’s waters.
PSA stands for the Port of Singapore Authority, which is a government-owned corporation responsible for the management and operations of Singapore’s port. It owns and operates the container terminals and other port facilities in Singapore, and is responsible for the handling of cargo, vessel operations, and port infrastructure development.
While both MPA and PSA play important roles in Singapore’s maritime industry, their functions are different. MPA is primarily responsible for regulatory and developmental functions, while PSA is responsible for the operation and management of the port and its facilities.
