After receiving the “Innovation Endorsement” from ClassNK, Japan last year (2021), U-Ming’s Fleet Safety Management (FSM) system has received another award, the 2022 International Safety@Sea Award, from the Maritime and Port Authority (MPA) of Singapore this year. The Singapore MPA International Safety@Sea Award 2022 is an important award to encourage and recognize the contribution of maritime operators to the sea work safety of global shipping and management companies.

FSM System collects near real-time information on vessels so that the crew and operations personnel can access the navigation information, essential safety systems, and engine performance data of their managing fleet from their centralized Fleet Operations Centre.

U-Ming also uses the FSM System to ensure their vessels adopt the most efficient route plans, thereby reducing fuel consumption and minimizing the impact of severe weather to improve the environmental sustainability of their operations. In addition, the FSM system has been utilized to improve the overall teamwork between shore managers and ship crews.

The recognition of the FSM system by the Singapore MPA this year once again signifies that U-Ming is an industry leader in the digitalization and safe operation of their fleet. U-Ming will continue to uphold the highest safety standards and persist in its commitment to maintaining a “Safety First Culture.”
