SPC 2022: Roadshows – PCL

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, Pacific Carriers Limited (PCL) is looking for a cost-effective and efficient solution that facilitates the consolidation of wireless and cable inputs from multiple interface standards to facilitate the staging and transmission of various data. This will enable vessel operators to overcome infrastructural or connectivity limitations onboard, and provide them with the agility to try out new technologies.
