Dear Students, A
curious phenomenon happened during the Covid-19 pandemic. Instead
of holding on to their jobs amid the economic turbulence, workers started to
rethink their priorities. An October 2021 Forbes poll of HR leaders seem to
suggest that beyond the paycheck, employees today
are also motivated by intangibles such as personal growth and shared values.
In this regard, maritime offers a compelling value proposition—a purposeful
career in a sector that is at the nexus of world trade and the global supply
chain. In
an information era where digitalisation is driving change, the maritime
industry is on the cusp of an exciting transformation, harnessing the power
of technology to be more efficient and sustainable. The
challenge statements presented by leading maritime companies participating in
the MaritimeONE
Digital Challenge 2022
provide a glimpse into how the industry is leveraging technology to power
ahead: §
A.P. Møller Maersk, one of the world’s largest integrated container logistics
companies, challenged students to create an application that will allow users
to have end-to-end visibility of warehouse operations and optimise
the allocation of resources §
PSA Cargo Solutions, which offers supply chain and digital solutions to
optimise cargo flows, asked students to develop a
multi-modal shipment route optimisation engine that
allows users to identify the optimum shipment route §
RightShip, the world’s leading environmental, social, and
governance (ESG)-focused digital maritime platform for safety, sustainability and social responsibility practices, wanted
an engaging solution to facilitate the forging of meaningful relationships
and networks between employees in today’s hybrid work environment Besides
demonstrating the transformation of what was stereotypically known as a
“traditional” industry, the above challenge statements indicate that the
sector is looking for diverse talents across a wide spectrum of skills,
including but not limited to areas in maritime, digital analytics, and
engineering. There
