geographical location. Singapore is located at the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula, right at the crossroads of the East-West shipping route. This is one of the busiest maritime passages in the world — particularly the Straits of Malacca and Singapore, which connect the Indian Ocean to the South China Sea and Pacific Ocean. This makes it an ideal stopover point for ships traveling between Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.

The economy will be bad. Less economic stability.

1. Singapore thrives in the maritime industry due to its strategic location, world-class port infrastructure, and pro-business environment. It invests in skilled talent, embraces digital innovation, and promotes sustainability. Strong global connectivity and forward-looking policies also help it adapt to industry challenges effectively.

2. If Singapore’s maritime industry struggles, it could impact trade, leading to higher costs for imported goods and fewer job opportunities in related sectors. This would affect the economy and daily lives, as Singapore relies heavily on global shipping for essential supplies and economic growth.

Factors that enabled Singapore to successfully navigate through challenges in the maritime industry:

Geographical locations. Singapore is a pretty strategic location with many countries around it and it is near malacca strait so Singapore would act as a port for ships to stop and prepare.

Good governance, low rates of corruption

What we think will happen SG’s maritime industry is not doing well:

GDP drop, unemployment rate increase, SG wont be important in global trade

Foods and goods would be more expensive

I discovered that Singapore is building a new mega port that can accommodate 25 percent more than the ports we have now estimated to be build by 2040 at Tuas.

# data[].attributes.body
Model of the planned newly built port at Tuas.

# data[].attributes.body
I learnt that by 2040s, Tuas port will be the world’s fullest largest automated terminal

# data[].attributes.body
I learnt that every 2-3 minutes, a ship leaves or arrives at SG’s port! Singapore is also the second largest port and is aiming to expand the Tuas Port to an automated one by 2040.

# data[].attributes.body
The tuas port will be completed in 2040 and will be the world's largest fully automated terminal and it occupies 1337 ha of land, which is twice the size of ang mo kio town in Singapore

I learnt that ships in the future can be operated from a control centre anywhere in the world with the assistance of Artificial Inteligence. The Singapore port uses 5G network with low latency to support high-volume operations.

# data[].attributes.body
I learnt that Tuas Port will anchor the future Western Gateway, a key economic node comprising the Tuas and Jurong business and industrial districts.

Tuas Port will enable industries located on its doorstep - such as those in advanced manufacturing, cold chain, e-commerce and logistics - to deliver more efficient and faster turnarounds for their production and exports.

Tuas Port will also connect these industries to global markets.

# data[].attributes.body
I found these facts of the new Tuas Port fascinating and interesting as it puts into perspective of how big of a project it is and how it might impact Singapore's Maritime industry in the future

Different places have different types and colours of soil. This helps engineers to understand ground conditions, allowing them to improve soil stability, support heavy structures and ensure durability of port facilities.

The lighthouse in Singapore. The most interesting one is the one that is above a HDB building

# data[].attributes.body
There are different types of vessels that serve different purposes like Garbage Collection vessels that collect garbages for free to reduce pollution of water and tug boat to guide the vessels into and out of Singapore port.

# data[].attributes.body
Tuas port will be the world's largest automated terminal by 2040s

I learnt that maritime trade is an important part of Singapore's economy, making up a huge part of our economy. So we should learn and understand more about them. To accommodate for more goods, Singapore is to open up the Tuas Port, which would be really useful to us, as there would be more imports coming into Singapore as well as more exports leaving the country. Maritime trade also allows global-connectedness, allowing different countries to trade goods with each other.

As a group, post the answers to the following questions.

What are the factors that enabled Singapore to successfully navigate through the challenges in the maritime industry? Briefly explain.

What do you think will happen if the Singapore Maritime Industry is not doing well? How will that affect your life and lives of fellow Singaporeans?

I learnt that maritime trade contributed to about 7% of Singapore‘s GDP and hence it is very important to Singapore’s economy. MPA (Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore) is part of the SG government and PSA is in charge of the operation.

# data[].attributes.body
The container is unexpectedly huge and is about 20ft long. Singapore is now trying to streamline the process of loading and unloading the cargo, using more machines and less manual labour so as to increase efficiency at the port.
