PSA Marine in Singapore has entered into a strategic collaboration with Kongsberg Digital to improve maritime harbour pilot training through the use of simulation technology, including the development of skills in managing autonomous ships and sustainable propulsion systems.
PSA Marine provides pilotage service to more than 180,000 vessels annually in the Port of Singapore, ranked as the world’s busiest container transhipment hub, and will expand its training infrastructure with the installation of new simulators from Kongsberg Digital in April 2025.
The package will include a Full Mission Bridge Simulator and a Full Mission Tug Bridge Simulator (Both Class A), including environments tailored to Singapore’s unique maritime conditions, enabling users to practice scenarios such as navigating dense traffic, managing new vessel types, and responding to emergencies.
“The collaboration underscores our commitment to innovation and excellence, empowering our people with the advanced technologies and skills to thrive in a rapidly evolving landscape,” said Er Wei Lim, Managing Director at PSA Marine.
“We look forward to future collaborations to co-create innovative maritime solutions together.”
