Singapore Maritime Week – no jacket required

The need to wear suit jacket at conferences and similar events was in part driven air-conditioning in hotel and convention centre function rooms which is often set at what could be described as “winter” conditions.
Sustainability is driving a more sensible approach to indoor temperatures and the air-conditioning at official Singapore Maritime Week events has been set at 25 degrees C for energy saving.
As a result attendees are advised that jacket and tie are not required, indeed they could prove to be bit uncomfortably warm. The Maritime & Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) also said that the use of single-use materials is being minimised and marketing collaterals are published digitally.
