The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) has embarked on a joint project with SimPlus, to customize AnchorageView, a real-time anchorage monitoring and planning tool for efficient management of anchorages. AnchorageView is an information gathering, processing and sharing system using real-time as well as projected status of vessels and anchorages. SimPlus will tailor-make the anchorage planning tool to assist MPA users in efficient management of anchorage space within port limit.
AnchorageView will provide the following benefits to a busy maritime port: a) Efficient use of available anchorage space, b) Reduction in traveling times and accompanying costs for vessels, c) Better logistics planning for ship owners and maritime service providers, d) Enhanced navigational safety in port waters, and e) Comprehensive anchorage usage records.
SimPlus has also been commissioned to examine systematically the anchorage utilisation in the port of Singapore over the next 2 years. A regular analysis of the anchorage usage will give MPA in-depth knowledge and an understanding of the changes and trends in the types of activity carried out in the anchorages. This would also enable MPA to optimise and plan the required sea space for anchorages well in advance.

SimPlus has been appointed by the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore to systematically examine the historical anchorage usage, given the recent reports on heavy utilization of the anchorages.
SimPlus is tasked with analyzing historical data to identify the changing trends in vessel arrivals and vessel dwell times in anchorages and the corresponding utilization levels of the anchorages. The findings will enable MPA to monitor the current anchorage utilization status and plan their future anchorages timely to meet the increasing demand.
