Singapore's armed forces say they are keen to continue military exercises at Shoalwater Bay, in central Queensland, and are not concerned about a proposed coal port.

Rockhampton Mayor Bard Carter has returned from a trip to Singapore, where the Government expressed a desire to renew an agreement that is due to expire next year.

Councillor Carter says Singapore's armed forces are confident that a coal project can be developed without affecting their military training activities at Showalwater Bay.
