About the Maritime Innovation Lab (MIL)

Singapore has one of the world’s busiest hub port and waterways, which present the most demanding environment that helps spur innovative ideas and solutions. The Maritime Innovation Lab (MIL) launched by the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore in April 2019 aims to create an environment that enables experimentation and the test-bedding of innovative port services and intelligent ship operations. It also supports the Sea Transport Industry Transformation Map through encouraging open innovation and R&D partnerships. In addition, it includes the co-location of maritime companies in the same vicinity, such as Wartsila’s Global Acceleration Centre. This new developer space will accelerate the development of new operation concepts and systems, and build local technological capabilities in key areas, ensuring that our sea port is future-ready. Industry partners, research institutes and local universities will be able to plug in to the test beds, data hub and regulatory sandbox to develop their own maritime solutions and capabilities.

Some examples of the R&D projects and innovative solutions: Next Generation Vessel Traffic Management System (NGVTMS) Lab, Remotely Assisted Pilotage Advisory (RAPA), Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS) and Singapore Maritime Data Hub (SG-MDH). Find out more details of the specific projects and relevant partners involved here.
