Global Port Cities - Singapore

The Fall of Singapore to the Japanese happened on the 15th February 1942 and is thought to be one of the greatest defeats in the entire history of the British Army and most likely Britain's worst defeat in all of World War 2. Singapore was considered to be a major part of the British Empire and it was thought to be as strong as a fortress. Improvement's to Singapore as a British military base had only been completed in 1938, a mere 4 years before the fall of Singapore.

During my tenure with NTB, I have undertaken complex engineering and project work within the boundaries of the Navy Technical Regulatory Framework (NTRF) to successfully deliver technical products and services for the acquisition and sustainment of Minor War Vessels (MWV) for the RAN. In the naval context, these includes specification and validation of compliance with Platform System Requirements for the current and future ships through the development of material specification for maritime capability certification assurance process and provide technical naval system advice to naval community that is accurate, on time and pragmatic.

In order for freight to successfully merge onto the Intellimerge, logic is in place that determines priority to lanes, and increased priority to any line that has a full or nearly-full accumulator. Because line 6 is from two ART lines it is given more priority to reduce downtime to the team members working on the ART lines. The recirculation line also receives special priority in order to prevent a “gridlock situation. Freight will also pass through a gap optimizer belt to optimize gaps that were established upstream. This is essential to present equally spaced product to a sorter, insuring a correct divert. Lane 6 is special because it can have up to twice the amount of product coming to it so a blow through mode was created for when the lane becomes 100% full. When lane 6 is full all other lanes will be disabled and lane 6 will continue to release without building slugs. Lane 6 will continue to stay in blow through mode for 10 seconds after becoming less than 100% full.

1.Controlling shipping piloted or non piloted inbound or outbound and ships bound to outer anchorage through radio to avoid collision & keep the channel clear.

(2) A broad scope of conference activities to enable carriers to discuss and fix prices and conditions of service, pool earnings and traffic, allot ports, regulate sailings, limit the volume and character of cargo carried, engage in exclusive working arrangements, enter into agreements to regulate and prevent competition among themselves, and bring intermodal cargo transportation under the ambit of permissible conference agreements.

In this paper I will present my research results regarding Singapore, as well as draw the picture of its marketing environment. I will include the information about the location, climate, population, religion and culture, official spoken languages, state of economy and level of technologies, political and legal systems, level of competition and potential for economic growth. In the conclusion I will highlight advantages and disadvantages of the Singapore marketing environment.

2. Maritime services to include electricity, water and refuelling; dry stack storage, winter layup onshore, wash down and general servicing facilities including refits and anti-fouling as well as a lift for vessels.

Marine Systems: It designs and builds submarines, surface combatants, auxiliary ships and large commercial vessels.

At the strategic level I developed an operational plan that consisted of AMOC’s Project and Plans, Operations, and Systems Directorates, AMO Headquarters (HQ) Test and Evaluation (T&E), and the South East Region to participate in the Maritime Lab Demonstration. The Maritime Lab intends to demonstrate the use of a tethered aerostat outfitted with a maritime radar to improve maritime security operations. The demonstration will also include the use of the Minotaur Mission Management System to share surveillance data among aircraft, vessels and command centers. I developed the desired Critical Operational Issues for the Maritime Lab with the Program Manager Rob Brown. The plan I provided consisted of roles and responsibilities, action items, goals and expectations of activities during the maritime demonstration. As the Lead Maritime Operational Representative for Customs and Border Protection, and Deputy Project Manager for the Dark Vessel Detection Project (DVD-P), I initiated the activity to develop a maritime sensor database and coordinated with DHS components and offices with maritime equities to ensure inclusion as the database is developed. I queried the United States Coast Guard, United States Border Patrol, and National Maritime Intelligence-Integration Office to obtain their functional needs in using the maritime

Space for expansion: this factor component falls under the designing and architectural stages. It is important to understand that maritime is one of the most dynamic sectors of transport. The last two decades have seen unprecedented growth in maritime activities with large cargo and cruise ships being developed. This implies that the amount of goods or the number of passengers that a port handles have been on a gradual rise over these years. Consequently, the architectural designs are tailored to meet such requirements. New and redesigned facilities will require effective security provisions such as secure buffer zones, closed-circuit

In this essay we look in-depth on how government strategies and economic policy play a crucial role in the success of High Performance Asian Economies (HPAEs) during 1960 to 1990 (World Bank 1993).There are eight countries within HPAEs: South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and Japan. Its economic development has significantly rise that it was name ‘East Asia Miracle’ (World Bank, 1993).

"Rotterdam is known as the Netherlands ' number one city for architecture" (Groenendijk, 2015, p. 114). It is easy to see why when one considers the overwhelming number of iconic buildings in the city, and how those individual buildings, while creating a cohesive city, have managed to and continue to transform Rotterdam. Markthal Rotterdam, one of the iconic buildings, is an award winning combination of open-air market, department store, shopping centre and residential building. It won the 2016 Rotterdam Architecture Award and the German Council of Shopping Centres award for European Innovation ("Rotterdamer architekturpreis für die Markthal," 2016, 126). Markthal Rotterdam was designed by

“A developed country is one that allows all its citizens to enjoy a free and healthy life in a safe environment.” These are the wise words of Kofi Annan, former Secretary-General of the United Nations. Thus, there are a set of tangible criteria to help determine the development of a country, of which economic criteria tend to dominate, with indicators such as the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) as well as other social and security needs of the people, with the recent Human Development Index (HDI) which measures overall well-being of the people. So, with the recent phenomenon of globalization becoming ever more widespread in our society today, there is no doubt that it has impacts, both positive and negative, on the development of Singapore as

The company’s brand recognition is visible globally. It also possesses strong capital resources and has exhibited positive results to its shareholders in the past.

As public biggest airline company in Singapore, Singapore Airline has several key business activities ranging from engineering, flight services until cargo services, but their main activity is more on flight services. Singapore Airline is relying heavily on Singapore financial system to operate their business. One of the evidence is that SIA benefiting from the financial market as the company’s share has been listed in SGX. As stated on Singapore Airline Annual Report, SIA has a cash surplus for the past 10 years on average………. Singapore financial system has help this company to grow and develop rapidly by their financial market, institutions and instrument, which will be discussed further later.
