SPC 2022: AMA – BP and Shipowners’ Mutual P&I Association

Smart Port Challenge (SPC) is an annual innovation competition to find the best ideas and solutions from technology start-ups to address challenges, or innovation opportunities, put forth by maritime corporates in Singapore.

This year’s Smart Port Challenge offers 15 innovation opportunities from the 16 maritime corporates.

As part of SPC2022, BP Maritime Services and The Shipowners’ Mutual Protection and Indemnity Association, are looking for a digital solution that can be readily adopted across the industry to ease the strain of managing physical statutory certificates, at least regionally if not globally.

Join our online AMA session to get a better understanding of this innovation opportunity.

Shortlisted finalists are enrolled in a two-phase, 12-week programme.
