In 2022, ASEAN Cableship Pte Ltd gifted an expendable sum of S$15,000 to establish the ASEAN Cableship Prize to encourage and recognise our Master of Science (Maritime Technology and Management) graduates who have displayed excellence in their academic studies.
This year, the ASEAN Cableship Award has been awarded to Ashref Afshin, our Master of Science (Maritime Technology and Management) student, class of 2025.
Afshin expresses his gratitude, “I am deeply honoured to receive the ASEAN Cableship Prize this year. This recognition holds profound significance as I continue my journey in the maritime industry, driven by an unwavering passion for sustainable innovation and digital transformation.
My journey at NUS has been transformative, broadening my perspective on the sector’s evolving landscape and inspiring a strong commitment to advancing the maritime industry. By applying innovative and analytical methods to decision-making, I hope to shape a maritime sector that prospers through innovation while remaining firmly committed to environmental sustainability.
This award fuels my determination to push boundaries, encouraging me to contribute meaningfully to a safer, smarter, and more sustainable maritime future. I express my profound gratitude to ASEAN Cableship for this honour and my eagerness to collaborate with industry leaders and academic mentors to drive transformative change across the sector.”
Congratulations to Afshin, and we look forward to witnessing your continued achievements in the years to come!
