5TH International Conference on Engine Room Simulators
Singapore, 26 - 29 June 2001
Simulator Aided Education & Training in the New Millennium
(Jointly organised by Singapore Polytechnic and Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore)
Singapore is strategically located at the crossroads of the world's major shipping lanes. The island nation, already established as a world class port, is now on its way to becoming a major maritime centre. Singapore has remained the world's busiest seaport since 1986. In 1998, more than 130,000 ships called at the port. The island nation is a leading ship repairing, ship broking centre and has been No.1 bunkering port since 1989. Singapore shipping registry is 5th largest in the world.
The Conference
The main objective of ICERS5 is to unite in a scientific environment the academics, professionals, and decision-makers of the maritime world and related interest groups. This will also provide a forum for exchange of views, experiences, innovative and challenging ideas related to simulator-aided education, training, research and development leading to safer ships and cleaner seas. ICERS 5 will be of interest to Ship Owners, Ship Managers, Marine Engineers, Maritime Administrators, Academics and all other Maritime Professionals from all over the world.
