An Ode to Marine Engineering

27 Jul 2023

Petrina Tan is a Singapore Maritime Academy (SMA) alumna and Tripartite Maritime scholar who belongs to a small but growing number of female marine engineers in Singapore. Petrina attended the SP Open House, where she learnt first-hand about marine engineering and the seafaring profession from the students and faculty of the SMA. When asked what inspired her journey into the industry, Petrina replied that she was enthralled by maritime at a young age after spending a day at the Evergreen Maritime Museum in Taiwan. Petrina’s lecturer, David Tay, also shared the importance of curiosity in learning — a trait he found necessary for succeeding in marine engineering.
