PSA Marine is fortifying its training infrastructure with the installation of advanced simulators from Kongsberg Digital in April 2025. The simulator suite will include a state-of-the-art Full Mission Bridge Simulator and a Full Mission Tug Bridge Simulator (Both Class A). These systems would immerse the PSA Marine harbour pilots in hyper-realistic environments, tailored to Singapore’s unique maritime conditions, enabling them to practice critical scenarios such as navigating dense traffic, managing new vessel types, and responding to emergencies—all within a safe, controlled training environment. This will help to elevate PSA Marine’s pilotage capabilities, reinforcing its commitment to maximize port productivity in the Port of Singapore.

Mr. Er Wei Lim, Managing Director at PSA Marine, commented:
“We are excited to partner with KONGSBERG to fortify our operational and training competencies towards safer and more efficient navigation. The collaboration underscores our commitment to innovation and excellence, empowering our people with the advanced technologies and skills to thrive in a rapidly evolving landscape. We look forward to future collaborations to co-create innovative maritime solutions together.“

Are Føllesdal Tjønn, Managing Director of Maritime Simulation at Kongsberg Digital, stated:
“We are proud to partner with PSA Marine, an organization that shares our vision for advancing maritime safety and efficiency. Our simulation technology bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical expertise, preparing PSA Marine’s harbour pilots to excel in an evolving industry. Together, we will gain experience and set a new benchmark for maritime pilot training and innovation.”

This partnership exemplifies the shared commitment of PSA Marine and Kongsberg Digital to innovation, safety, and sustainability in maritime operations. By combining world-class technology with PSA Marine’s expertise, this strategic collaboration would boost the robustness of its pilot training and reinforces Singapore’s position as a global maritime leader.
