The Singapore Institute of Technology announced new initiatives at Singapore Maritime Week 2026 to strengthen Singapore’s maritime talent pipeline, including the launch of the country’s first Maritime Engineering Doctoral Training Centre and a new Master of Science in Vessel Management developed with industry partners. These programmes emphasise applied, real-world learning, such as research in electrification, battery safety, and vessel operations, to prepare industry-ready professionals for a more digital and low-carbon maritime sector. The university also signed multiple partnerships with industry players to boost innovation, cybersecurity capabilities, and workforce development. Together, these efforts complement earlier initiatives by institutions like SP, which focuses on diploma-level training and industry collaboration, forming a full pipeline from polytechnic to advanced postgraduate and research training for Singapore’s maritime workforce.
