DNV has renewed its Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT), expanding their collaboration on maritime education, applied research and innovation.
The new agreement builds on an existing 2022 framework, with a stronger focus on decarbonisation, digitalisation and talent development to support Singapore’s future maritime industry expansion.
DNV will contribute to SIT’s Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering Joint Degree Programme under the deal, while also co-developing postgraduate courses.
SIT will use DNV’s Simulation Trust Centre to support research and teaching on ship and system design, energy management, operational efficiency and autonomous operations. The cooperation will also extend to work-study attachments, capstone projects and professional development pathways.
“By harnessing DNV’s extensive expertise and global insights, we aim to develop impactful solutions in maritime decarbonisation, digitalisation, and autonomous systems,” said Bernard Nee, Deputy President (Industry & Community) at the Singapore Institute of Technology.
“This collaboration also allows SIT to enhance our applied learning approach, nurture talent through practical exposure, and fortify the ecosystem for lifelong learning, thereby contributing to Singapore’s ambition of becoming a leading global maritime hub.”
