SMOU is a Seafaring Officers’ union that shares a national interest in the development of Singapore as an International Maritime Centre (IMC). We actively work with our tripartite partners to protect our members’ employment rights and enhance their quality of life, to encourage the growth and development of the local maritime industry, and to assist with overcoming the impending challenges of the industry. Nationally, SMOU works in partnership with many tripartite partners including the Government and the various statutory boards, the National Trades Union Congress and its affiliates, and the national employer organisations including the Singapore National Employers’ Federation (SNEF), the Singapore Shipping Association (SSA) and the Singapore Maritime Employers’ Federation (SMEF).
