For many, the mention of the ”Maritime Industry” immediately conjures
up the image of ”ships”. This image alone cannot adequately represent
the far greater expanse of the industry. This is a sector of the economy
that also encompasses a comprehensive network of port and
terminal operations, ship owning, ship management, ship brokering
and chartering, marine insurance, maritime law and arbitration, ship
finance, sales and marketing, offshore and marine engineering, and
much more.
Shipping activities have spurred the development of modern
transportation systems worldwide and stimulated economic
globalisation. The maritime industry has contributed to the stellar
growth of Asia – especially China and India – and benefiting our
nation, at the cross-roads of international trade. Singapore has built
up a reputation for having a rich maritime heritage and now as an
International Maritime Centre (IMC), opportunities abound.
It is the call of the sea – be it for seafaring, shore-based maritime
services or offshore and marine careers – that continually draws a
special group of people to its fold. The 21 personalities featured within
these pages are examples of vibrant talents who dare to dream big
and are now giving back to the industry that has made their dreams
come true. They epitomise the diverse careers that are available within
the vastness of the maritime trade.
I would like to share with you the adage that ”words are mere bubbles
of water; deeds are drops of gold”. Everyone talks about making
something of their lives, but only the pro-active ones will put words
into action.
The maritime industry is seeking out committed individuals who will
heed the calling and carve out a rewarding career in this field. It is a
call as much as a challenge; one where you can cause ripple effects
for generations to come.
In this light, I invite you to join us and make big waves in the
“Sea of Opportunities, Shore of Possibilities”.
