To cultivate a new generation of data science, info-comms and engineering professionals for Singapore’s future port in Tuas, PSA Corporation Ltd (PSA) and Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to develop talent to support the growth of the port industry.
The new Tuas port will harness big data, and leverage automation technologies and smart systems to raise terminal productivity and service quality. To build the competencies required to manage the complex ecosystems in Tuas port, PSA will contribute port-related content to SUTD curriculum, giving students exposure and advancing their knowledge in smart technologies and systems used in port operations. PSA will also work with SUTD to build a talent pipeline to support PSA’s extensive network of ICT infrastructure, which is an enabler of port operations.
PSA is also providing internship opportunities to SUTD students which enable them to learn and apply engineering principles, info-communications and security, and data science knowledge to modern port operations and equipment.
