Seatrium Limited (Seatrium) and M1 have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to expedite digital connectivity for yard operations, marking a key milestone in Seatrium’s digital transformation journey. The partnership is a core element of Seatrium’s Digital Strategy, aimed at establishing a Smart Yard with ultra-high-speed connectivity to support the Group’s One Seatrium Delivery Model.
This collaboration seeks to investigate the potential of 5G connectivity in yards for digitalization and integrated operations. By enhancing 5G within Seatrium’s Singapore yards, various applications such as smart video analytics, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and digital twin technology, augmented with real-time Internet of Things (IoT) capabilities, will enable the Group to achieve operational excellence globally.
Building upon a previous partnership established in 2022, which included 5G connectivity in a pilot yard and the deployment of 5G use cases in Augmented and Virtual Reality (AR/VR) Smart Glasses solutions in Singapore, this collaboration aims to utilize digitalization and virtual technology to improve remote operations efficiency for Seatrium’s tech-enabled workforce.
In addition to 5G exploration, the collaboration may extend to other M1 enterprise services and industry solutions including IoT applications, surveillance, and cybersecurity to support Seatrium’s operational needs.
Mr. Chris Ong, CEO at Seatrium, stated, “This partnership with M1 marks another significant milestone in Seatrium’s digital transformation journey. By harnessing the advanced capabilities of 5G technology coupled with M1’s robust enterprise solutions, we are committed to fostering innovation and enhancing efficiency throughout our operations and business processes. The partnership also underscores our dedication to nurturing and unlocking the full potential of our workforce, supporting a future-ready enterprise.”
Mr. Manjot Singh Mann, CEO at M1, commented, “We are excited to collaborate with Seatrium on this transformative initiative. Our joint exploration of 5G and other enterprise solutions aligns with our commitment to empowering businesses with cutting-edge technology and bespoke solutions.
