Shipping conferences could be back on the agenda after Singapore announced plans to allow events to take place with up to 250 people.

The Singapore Tourism Board (STB) said it will start accepting applications for organisers to pilot meetings, incentives, conventions and exhibitions (MICE) events from 1 October 2020.

STB said it and Singapore’s Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) will "review all event proposals", and that they will only be allowed to proceed on obtaining the ministry’s approval.
