𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗶𝗺𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗣𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴: 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝗦𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 Modelling and simulation are essential for improving the efficiency, safety, and sustainability of ports and shipping. They enable data-driven decision making, risk assessment, and performance optimisation. Technologies such as digital twins, which replicate vessel and port operations, and AI-driven simulations for route optimisation and emissions reduction, can help the maritime sector mitigate risks, strengthen cybersecurity resilience, and streamline operations. These advancements support the industry's transition towards smarter, more sustainable, and increasingly autonomous maritime operations. At the Singapore Maritime Research Conference (SMRC), the "Modelling and Simulation for Port and Shipping" presentation segment will highlight how digital twins and modelling can be harnessed to provide predictive intelligence, make informed decisions, drive smarter and more secure maritime operations. Join us at the SMRC and listen to the brightest minds in maritime research.

While this progress has improved data accessibility, it has also brought challenges such as data quality inconsistencies, lack of standardisation, and security risks in data transfer and exchange. AI and machine learning can transform the industry by strengthening decision-making, enabling large scale data utilisation, and enhance operational efficiencies. At the Singapore Maritime Research Conference (SMRC), our speakers in the ‘AI in Maritime Operations Systems’ segment will explore emerging maritime technologies and applications and address the need for a robust AI-driven data management. They will examine how AI-powered analytics can be leveraged to optimise routes, enhance safety, trace carbon footprint and contribute to a greener and more resilient maritime operations.

At a meeting held yesterday with the management team and staff of the SMI-funded Centres of Excellence (CoE) and Programme Partners, SMI’s Deputy Executive Director, Dr Xinwei Chen, reaffirmed the critical role of R&D in transforming Singapore’s maritime sector, as we shift from efficiency-driven to innovation-driven growth. This is the key to strengthening our connectivity, productivity, resilience, and sustainability in the global maritime landscape. There is a Chinese saying “同舟共济” (crossing a river in the same boat), which reflects the spirit of mutual support and cooperation. Dr Chen encouraged the CoEs and Programme Partners to foster closer collaboration, strengthen cross-centre synergy, expand their research outreach, and anchor key maritime research initiatives for Maritime Singapore. Through an interactive discussion on each Centre’s 2025 Work Plan, the team explored new opportunities for partnerships and interdisciplinary research to drive impactful solutions for the industry. SMI will continue to deepen conversations and collaborations with the research community to steer innovation and transformation for the maritime sector. #SMI #Maritime #MaritimeSG #Research #Innovation #Collaboration #Partnerships #Synergy #Resilience #Sustainability #Transformation Maritime Energy & Sustainable Development Centre of Excellence (MESD) COE for Next Generation Ports SP Centre of Excellence in Maritime Safety (CEMS) TCOMS - Technology Centre for Offshore and Marine, Singapore Centre of Excellence for Autonomous & Remotely Operated Vessels Institute of High Performance Computing (A*STAR IHPC) iTrust SUTD Singapore Institute of Technology
