The project is designed to create
awareness of the ofshore marine sector

– a key sector in the Singapore maritime

industry. In addition to representatives
from the SSA community, the Maritime

and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA),

ofshore marine companies, port and
pilotage operators, ship agencies and even

the legal community put in more than

three months of work to make OSV@Vivo

a reality.
Mr Poulsson said: “We want to

showcase that the ofshore marine sector

ofers more diversity and specialisation – in
terms of career oferings and roles, such as

subsea, diving, remotely operated vehicles

(ROV) and survey – that are undertaken
in the ofshore marine space. As such,

besides the exhibitors, we have 81 Ship

Ambassadors on board, all volunteers

from our maritime companies, to share
their expertise and shipping life stories.”

Thanking the sponsors and the

management of Vroon Ofshore and Swire
Paciic Ofshore “for allowing us the use

of their ships, and their crew of VOS Prince

and Paciic Legacy”, Mr Poulsson said he

hoped the initiative would inspire “our
youth to uncover the varied career tracks

that shipping can provide. It is only with

the help of our MaritimeONE partners
MPA, SMF and ASMI, have we been able to

use OSV@Vivo as a platform to reach out

to the youth of Singapore.”
