SPC 2022 Roadshows – PSA

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, PSA and PSA unboXed are looking for an innovative solution to overcome the limitations of the current means for transmitting high speed data between the headblock and cabin of a quay crane. They are also looking for a solution that will identify and detect the corner castings of a shipping container with an accuracy of 5cm, which is the maximum tolerable limit to accurately land a spreader twistlock pin into the corner castings of a container, from a height of at least 60m.

Join us in-person or online to meet our co-creator and get a better understanding of this innovation opportunity.

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