The AnchorageView system, developed by SimPlus and the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA), has been conferred the Minister’s Innovation Award (Distinguished) at the awards ceremony on 2nd Novement, 2010, for its contribution in helping MPA improve its efficiency and productivity in anchorage management and information sharing.
The annual Minister’s Innovation Award was launched by Ministry of Transportation (MOT) in 2002. The Award aims to promote innovation and creativity, and winners are selected based on the quality of their initiatives, which should demonstrate a level of innovation that contribute significantly to achieving the Ministry’s mission and goals, result in benefits to the public and industry and have proven to be cost and time-effective.
Minister Raymond Lim said: “I am impressed by the quality of these initiatives, most of which have already been implemented and are making significant positive impact to our transport landscape. I hope the awards will spur the recipients and others to continuously look out for areas of improvement, create novel solutions and strive for even more innovation for the benefit of Singapore”.
It is the second time for SimPlus to be honored with this recognition. In 2007 SimPlus received MIA for its work on Terminal Operations Simulation System. SimPlus will continue to strive to improve the maritime landscape in Singapore and the region.
