Maritime and Port Authority, Singapore is planning reclamation and dredging works for the development of the future container port. Given the additional traffic created due to project activities and cordoning of certain areas due to dredging activities, it is important to systematically assess the safety of navigation within the affected waterways. SimPlus has been engaged by MPA to conduct a Formal Safety Assessment (FSA) for the 1st year of such project activities, before the actual project works begin.
SimPlus will continue to work closely with MPA and the contractors undertaking the project works, to constantly monitor the situation and ensure the safety of navigation.

SimPlus has been engaged by MPA to conduct a Formal Safety Assessment (FSA) for the development of offshore containment bunds at the Tuas Port site.
Arising from the un-loading of sand from the delivering vessels for the construction of bunds as well as the movements of barges carrying excavated material for dumping, an FSA is required to ensure that such operations are performed safely within the project site. The study will examine the proposed planning parameters and optimize the construction work and dumping activities to minimize the traffic and marine risk. A standard operating procedure (SOP) is also to be established as a recommendation for the operations.
The study marks the sixth application of VTM in quantitative marine risk assessment.

CTS version 2.0 has been rolled out. It boasts a comprehensive easy to use GUI (Graphical User Interface) which provides the user flexibility in setting up a simulation model of a container terminal and its operations from scratch. Inbuilt libraries of different equipments and related handling strategies allow the user to configure the terminals from among various options.
CTS can be applied for various objectives, such as design and setup a new Greenfield terminal, capacity assessment of an existing terminal and bottleneck detection and performance enhancement of existing operations, among others.
SimPlus’ CTS has been applied for projects with PSA International, PSA Corporation, MPA Singapore and Jurong Port.
