New ABS Singapore Maritime Safety Centre to support immersive training in alternative fuels and safety operations
The American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) and the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) have renewed their long-standing partnership with the signing of a multi-year Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) focused on accelerating maritime innovation, talent development, and regulatory collaboration. The expanded agreement reinforces Singapore’s position as a leading global maritime hub, while further advancing ABS’ commitment to next-generation maritime safety and sustainability.
ABS to Launch High-Tech Maritime Safety Centre in Singapore
As part of the renewed five-year MOU, ABS will invest USD $4.5 million to establish the ABS Singapore Maritime Safety Centre, a cutting-edge facility that will provide immersive training for seafarers and maritime professionals. The centre will form a key pillar of MPA’s broader Maritime Energy Training Facility (METF) initiative, aimed at supporting the industry’s energy transition.
Designed to simulate complex, real-world scenarios without the risks associated with live vessel operations, the centre will use virtual reality (VR), game-based systems, and other advanced technologies to equip maritime personnel with the skills needed for safe and efficient vessel operations in an increasingly digital and decarbonised industry.
