The Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) and offshore and marine engineering group Seatrium have launched an Offshore & Marine Digital Learning Lab at SIT’s Punggol Campus, aimed at accelerating maritime digitalization and supporting the energy transition.
The lab builds on a 2024 memorandum of understanding between the two organizations and is supported by cash investments from Seatrium. It is designed as a joint industry-academia platform for applied learning, workforce development and industry-driven innovation in shipyard and offshore operations.
Over the next three years, the facility is expected to support more than 700 undergraduates through applied learning modules and train over 1,000 continuing education and training (CET) learners from the offshore and marine sector.
The lab will focus on advanced technologies including artificial intelligence (AI), digital twin systems and smart microgrid applications for offshore and marine operations. Applied research will centre on improving energy efficiency, enabling AI-driven remote operations and developing scenario-based digital yard simulators to enhance planning and operational resilience.
Research themes include sustainability and energy efficiency through microgrid digital twins and energy modelling, 5G-enabled maritime industrial use cases such as AI-driven remote inspection and monitoring, and AI-enabled digital yard technologies for scenario planning and decision-making.
