The Singapore Maritime Institute (SMI) is a joint effort by the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA), the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) and the Economic Development Board (EDB) in partnership with local Institutes of Higher Learning (IHLs) and reflects Singapore’s continued commitment to the maritime and offshore industry. The SMI develops strategies and programmes related to the academic, policy and R&D aspects of the industry, focusing on sectors including port, shipping, maritime services, offshore and marine engineering, subsea and downhole.
The formation of the SMI aims to strengthen Singapore’s research manpower and capabilities as a global maritime knowledge hub to enhance the overall positioning and competitiveness of the industry. The organisation charts maritime and offshore research strategies together with various maritime institutes at local IHLs, and also promotes greater industry-academia R&D collaborations to be undertaken in Singapore.
