This is the third consecutive race that both organisations are working closely together in the Clipper Race.

As part of its people development initiatives, Keppel sponsored eight of its employees as Keppel Ambassadors in the last two races. Continuing its commitment to provide exposure and self-development opportunities for its employees, Keppel will send a team of four Keppelites to crew Uniquely Singapore in the Clipper 09-10 Race.

	" We have found the Clipper experience to be an excellent platform to showcase Singapore and Keppel round the world. "At Keppel, we focus on sustainability, believing in long-term investments of empowering lives through continuous training and development, and nurturing communities wherever we operate. These are among our core principles that pave the growth of our businesses. "The newly opened RYA (Royal Yachting Association) accredited Keppel Bay Sailing Academy as an appointed Clipper training centre will make the race more accessible and affordable for Asians and Australians as they can now undergo the required training for the race here in Singapore instead of going to the UK." Ms Wang Look Fung, General Manager Keppel Group Corporate Communications
