Standards as a Strategic Tool in Implementing Economic Policy - Developing Singapore's Oil Bunkering Industry
In the mid-1980s, following new directions in the Singapore government's national economic development policy, Port of Singapore Authority (PSA) set out on a plan to create an oil bunkering industry where none existed before. By the early 1990s, using standards development as a strategic tool, Singapore's port grew to be the top oil refueling centre in the world. In the 2000 decade, the new process technology of mass flow metering for quantity measurements could bring about significant operational efficiencies in the oil bunkering industry. However, it could change the standards put in place over the last three decades. The key challenge for Singapore was: how should the standards development process be managed to deliver the promise of the new technology, balance the interests of diverse groups of stakeholders while maintaining Singapore's position as the world's top oil bunkering centre?
