PCL and Singapore Maritime Officers’ Union (SMOU) have inked our commitment to building a future ready and sustainable workforce through job re-designing and the development of multiple pathways for career advancement in the maritime industry. The signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on 24 May 2022 will see the formation of a Company Training Committee (CTC), comprising PCL management, union representatives and key relevant partners.

The PCL management and SMOU representatives share a common goal to support workforce transformation and this meaningful collaboration seeks to scale up productivity and operational efficiency through the adoption of new technology and training methods. PCL is happy to be amongst the first movers in partnering SMOU and we look forward to having more shipping companies join the movement to enhance job prospects for the maritime workforce.

As part of Kuok Singapore Limited’s Maritime Group businesses, PCL is excited to share that KSL will join hands with Nanyang Technological University Singapore's Maritime Energy & Sustainable Development (MESD) and School of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering (SCBE) to research on shipboard carbon capture technology for reduction of GHG emissions from ships.

Such private-public partnership is an important element in our Group’s efforts to decarbonise shipping and drive sustainability.

The annual Smart Port Challenge (SPC) is here again! Organised by PIER71™, the challenge invites global start-ups to innovate solutions for real challenges in the maritime industry.

PCL has put forth our challenge statement in SPC 2022 and strongly encourages start-ups to dive into new collaborative opportunities with the participating maritime corporates to build Singapore’s maritime ecosystem. Our CEO Mr. Hor Weng Yew, who was the Chief Judge in SPC 2021, has reviewed innovative MarineTech solutions from the finalists and PCL is working with some of the start-ups on pilot projects. We are confident that SPC 2022 will continue to draw high-calibre participants and we look forward to receiving incisive proposals. Start-ups are important partners in our continuous endeavour to explore new technological solutions to fortify our digital agility and stay on top of the competition.

Once again, PCL is excited to partner with the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore, NUS Enterprise and other industry players to drive digital transformation in the maritime industry.

PCL is proud to be one of the esteemed sponsors of the Digital Vision and Sustainability Programme (DVSP) organised by the Singapore Shipping Association. The theme for the four-day workshop, “operating a sustainable shipping  business”, echoes our vision to progress towards a green and sustainable future.

We are glad to be an avid supporter for SSA's work to drive sustainability within the maritime industry and to have participated in the workshop. Diverse perspectives, challenges, thoughts and aspirations were exchanged at the workshop and new friendships were formed. We are energised by the discourse and ready to achieve more in sustainability through collaborations and innovations with maritime and non-maritime partners!

Congratulations to SSA on the successful workshop and we look forward to more collaborative opportunities to accelerate our continued effort in sustainability.
