We were presented with an overview of the facility and briefed on the functions of the containership terminal. An introduction of PSA&#8217;s business of transporting cargo started after we stepped into a display shipping container. Next, the students were appointed a mission to determine the optimal route for transportation considering time and cost efficiency through an interactive platform. After an introduction of the business, we wer<span style=\"font-size: 16px\">e shown the diverse features and cutting-edge technology employed to fortify safety protocols at the port.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>After the comprehensive tour at the innovation centre, we were led to the control centre to learn more about specific roles the team played in orchestrating the safe day-to-day operations for all staff. Murukesh gave us a holistic overview of the machineries involved with transporting containers to and around the port. We got a close up of the towering cranes and high technology automatic driving prime movers.<\/p>\n<p>Next, we had a fireside chat with two esteemed leadership representatives who discussed the journey of their career in PSA. Tay Eng Kng, the vice president of container engineering emphasized the significance of retaining knowledge acquired during one&#8217;s academic pursuits, emphasizing its pivotal role in fostering innovation. The failure to remember, he asserted, equates to merely listening to a salesman exe<span style=\"font-size: 16px\">cuting his duties.
