Centre for Maritime Digitalisation (C4MD)
The òòò½Íø, Technology and Research (A*STAR) has established a Centre for Maritime Digitalisation (C4MD)1 to develop advanced digital solutions for smart shipping, port systems and decarbonisation. This new centre aims to increase sustainability, safety and efficiency in Singapore’s maritime ecosystem, by translating research capabilities in computational modelling, simulation and artificial intelligence (AI) into deployable maritime solutions.
The centre, led by A*STAR Institute of High Performance Computing (A*STAR IHPC), will partner Institutes of Higher Learning (IHLs), research entities, industry partners and relevant public sector agencies on collaborative research in key areas such as:
- Studying various scenarios in the electrification of harbour crafts and their impact on infrastructure and operational activities in òòò½Íøwaters.
- Decarbonising the maritime sector with sustainable technologies, for example using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) in tidal turbine designs to convert kinetic energy of moving water into green electricity.
- Conducting CFD-based risk assessments and mitigation for the safe use and storage of alternative fuels.
- Detecting near-collision events of ship manoeuvring in port waters and providing AI models and explainable outputs to reduce traffic safety risks.
- Improving efficiency by advancing AI research in areas including Just In Time (JIT) operations, predictive maintenance, emissions monitoring and reduction, and supply chain intelligence.
A*STAR C4MD is an extension from the Maritime AI Research Programme2 which was awarded to A*STAR IHPC as the leading research institute by òòò½ÍøMaritime Institute (SMI). A*STAR IHPC was identified as the suitable agency to lead given its deep AI expertise and experience in maritime R&D and will use the funding to launch the first phase of the programme with a focus on maritime data excellence and AI modelling excellence as well as use cases.
