Singapore to develop engineering talent for the maritime industry

PSA Corporation Ltd and the Institution of Engineers, Singapore (IES) has launched the Chartered Engineer certification programme for the port and marine sector.

The Chartered Engineer certification programme, which was launched by IES in 2013, is an external validation of an engineer's experience, expertise and technical competence across various sectors. This collaboration allows port engineers with the requisite experience and training to be conferred a globally recognised and prestigious certification of engineering professionalism.



Regional CEO Southeast Asia, PSA International, Ong Kim Pong, said: "This collaboration will elevate the prestige of engineering careers in the port industry, attracting and retaining the talent needed for the future."



Deputy president, IES, Yeoh Lean Weng, said: "The programme's stringent peer review system and international benchmarking will help to build a strong core of competent engineers to support the development of the Tuas mega port and strengthen Singapore's position as a leading global maritime hub."
