RightShip strengthens its presence in Asia-Pacific (APAC) with the opening of its Singapore office. This new space will be an innovation hub to deliver zero harm solutions.
According to the third-party maritime risk assessment and due diligence organisation, the new Singapore office builds on extended collaboration with and support from local Singaporean organisations, including the recent MOU signed with the Singapore Maritime Institute to cooperate on a Maritime Artificial Intelligence (AI) R&D Programme.
For an organisation striving to create a zero harm maritime industry using digital technology, Singapore is a natural second home. With Singapore’s established commitment to combating climate change and its shipping heritage, it’s the perfect place to build a sector that is safer for the maritime industry, safer for the mariners themselves, and safer for the planet.
…RightShip CEO, Steen Lund, commented.
Working with key industry figures on the ground to bring products to life, the hub will be the driver for more effective market-focused solutions.
What is more, the new office will also be home to two of the company’s recent strategic additions at the C-suite level: Tarun Mehrotra, Chief Strategy Officer, and Gurpreet Singh, Chief Commercial Officer.
As the world looks for more opportunities to slow the impacts of global warming, it has become clear that technology and innovation will be pivotal success drivers. For this reason, having a physical presence close to its customer base will enable RightShip to be on the front line of the conversation.
…RightShip concluded.
Overall, the new office is the latest in a number of moves RightShip has made to expand its presence in Asia: opening representative offices in as a sales representative in Shanghai, China in July 2021, followed by Hiroshima, Japan in November 2021.
