Set sail with the marine and offshore industry

The marine and offshore (M&O) sector churns out mammoth ships and platforms the size of skyscrapers, which for most people, gives the impression of a traditional industry with a high carbon footprint and heavy reliance on labour.

Yet when you see some of the shipyards in Singapore, you will see gleaming automation such as robotic welding, digitalisation such as smart watches and equipment, the use of solar power to power operations, and even a floating lab to testbed new energy solutions. That is but a microcosm of the industry's drive towards sustainability and digitalisation.

Spearheading the green charge is just 1 thrilling prospect in M&O. Not many know that Singapore is a leader in many aspects of this global industry. At the same time, M&O is a significant contributor to the local economy. The opportunities are vast as the ocean.
