SimPlus has contributed its part to raise S$250,000 for the less fortunate through one-north Run 2016

 

SimPlus is proud to be one of the sponsors of the one-north Run 2016 to raise funds for the Singapore Children’s Society and Community Chest and to help the underprivileged. More than 45 corporates supported the event, such as Nestle, Rolls-Royce and P&G.

Despite the bad weather, our strong software team of four braved the rain, completed the challenge and won the precious medals. S$250,000 has been raised through this event, which will be channelled to local charities including the Singapore Children’s Society, the Movement for the Intellectually Disabled of Singapore (MINDS) and the Asian Women’s Welfare Association (AWWA).

The charity event was organised by SimPlus’ clients, the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) and JTC. SimPlus is very happy to have made a small difference in helping those in need and helping realise their fullest potential.

SimPlus is undertaking a project on Capacity Planning of Singapore anchorage spaces. This includes a thorough assessment of current anchorage usage status, benchmarking with other leading ports, and planning anchorage space for future expected traffic.

An update on SimPlus’ study was provided to MPA and key agencies like MHA, JTC, EDB, ICA, URA.

SimPlus guest lectures for Port Productivity, Optimisation and Capacity Planning intensive training course

 

Ms Stuti Nautiyal, SimPlus’ Managing Director was invited yet again to guest lecture at IBC’s training course on Port Productivity, Optimization and Capacity Planning. It was a 2 day comprehensive course where participants got to understand the various aspects of port productivity, learn how to optimise port operations and plan for port expansion. SimPlus presented a section on Simulation and Port Operations Planning.

In collaboration with MPA, SimPlus is working on projects to enhance the safety of port waters and the Singapore Straits. An update was provided to members of SSA where project objectives and key results were discussed.

Work is underway on the development of a Near-term Collision Prediction and Avoidance System which receives live AIS data feeds, and detects and highlights to the user any build-up of scenarios of high risk. A prototype of the system is being tested at MPA’s Port Operation Control Centre, and there is also a possibility of it being deployed out at sea, for use by pilots and ship masters.

In addition SimPlus is also applying its Vessel Traffic Simulation platform to evaluate a few different traffic management schemes for the Singapore Straits, with the intention of bringing down the risk in key high density regions. This project also relates to SimPlus’ STS (Ship Traffic Simulator), as part of the SESAME Straits project, in collaboration with the Norwegian research team.

More information about safe passage in the Singapore Strait can be found on MPA YouTube Channel (eastbound and westbound).

SimPlus to undertake Capacity Planning for the Singapore Port

SimPlus has been awarded by MPA to undertake the “Consultancy Study for Capacity Planning of Anchorage Space and Marine Traffic’.

The study aims to provide a comprehensive review of the current status of usage of resources like anchorages and waterways, benchmark the same against other leading ports, and scientifically quantify the capacity of the anchorages and waterway keeping in mind the mix of vessel types, movement patterns and dwell times.

SimPlus has conducted several capacity planning and risk assessment studies in the past, and will tap on its vast experience to undertake this project, due for completion in 2017.
