Newly formed Singapore Boating Industry Association (SBIA) has been approved as a full member of ICOMIA.
The decision was made at the ICOMIA Executive Committee meeting on 12 May 2011. SBIA is in its formation year after having being formally registered as an association in February. The association represents the recreational marine industry in Singapore.
The Singaporean association is led by Chairman YP Loke and hosted the well-received ICOMIA World Marinas Conference in Singapore 10-12 May 2011.
“SBIA’s Chairman Mr YP Loke has had earlier association with ICOMIA and given valuable service to the ICOMIA Marinas Group for many years. I am delighted that Singapore has joined us,” said ICOMIA Secretary General Tony Rice.
To meet the requirements of full membership in ICOMIA, applicants must be a national marine industry association and legally incorporated. After meeting the criteria, SBIA has joined the global ICOMIA family as its 33rd full member.
