SIT, DNV ink 3-year partnership on maritime decarbonization and digitalization

The parties will cooperate in three key areas.

The Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) has joined hands with a maritime advisor, DNV, to advance net-zero ambitions in the Lion City’s maritime sector.

Under the three-year partnership, SIT and DIV will cooperate in three key areas, including the development of ship and system designs using simulation-based approaches.

The parties will also conduct joint industry research projects on decarbonisation and digitalisation with entities in the Singapore maritime ecosystem

The Research & Development (R&D) and educational initiatives under the agreement will be spearheaded by the DNV Maritime Decarbonization & Autonomy Regional Centre of Excellence in collaboration with SIT's Sustainable Maritime Engineering Strategic Translational Research Programme.

R&D initiatives between DNV and SIT will focus on advancing zero-emission and autonomous ships, shore remote control and simulation centres, and shore charging and future fuel bunkering infrastructure.

Through the partnership, SIT and DNV will also conduct lessons on optimising ships and system design for advanced hydrodynamics, energy management system, emission control, and system safety.

SIT students can likewise collaborate with DNC on capstone projects in novel maritime technology applications and perform their Integrated Work Study Programme at DNV.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
