Dear Students, You may be aware that 71% of the Earth’s
surface is covered by water, but did you know that 80% of world trade is
carried by sea? In fact, Singapore is a leading player in this pivotal,
purposeful industry that is an integral pillar of the global supply
chain/logistics ecosystem and an enabler of world trade. Leveraging on our strategic geographic
position and global hub port, Singapore has been nurturing a maritime
services ecosystem that is anchored by
a group of international shipowners/operators together with a wide range of
maritime services players in the past decades.
Such companies include ship brokers, law firms
with maritime practices, marine insurers, ship financiers – and in recent
years, a nascent but growing pool of maritime technology start-ups. Indeed, Singapore’s holistic maritime
ecosystem has earned us recognition as the top international maritime capital
in global reports such as the DNV-Menon
Leading Maritime Cities of the World and the Xinhua-Baltic
International Shipping Index. What this means for Singapore’s youth – such
as yourselves – is that maritime is brimming with opportunities. The maritime
services cluster in particular welcomes those with diverse backgrounds
including maritime studies, business, computing, data science, engineering,
and more.
