Under the framework of missions and objectives set by the IMO, the MTCC-Asia vision is:

UPTAKE, SHARE, SUSTAINABILITY for GREENER SHIPPING.

Specifically, the MTCC-Asia is a sustainable region-pioneering constituent of the global network for promotion, exchange, demonstration and dissemination of ship energy efficiency and GHG emission mitigation technologies and operations, making significant contribution to the greener shipping.

The vision will be accomplished through:

• UPTAKE of the cutting-edge technology and effective operation of the maritime GHG emissions mitigation and ship energy efficiency within Asia. Ideally the MTCC-Asia will understand, enhance and transfer the above mentioned technology and operation within the Asian region, in particular the LDCs and SIDSs.

• SHARE of the successful experience and reliable results within regional maritime administrations, port authorities, other relevant government departments and related shipping stakeholders via effective communication and visibility actions in the pursuit of the implementation with the IMO Instruments such as MARPOL Annex VI. It is believed that the output from the MTCC-Asia can span over the boundaries and serve as Excellence Model to other countries in the effort to fight against air pollution from ships.

• SUSTAINABILITY of the MTCC and the potential beneficiary countries at large, to ensure the continuance of the project after its 3-year contract period. In prospection, the MTCC-Asia will grow from a young fledged regional centre to a leading maritime technology centre that is all-open, inclusive and accessible to the region and the world via accomplishments, connections and commitment.
