SGTraDex Going Live with Ship Supplies Use Case, Launches New
Maritime Use Case
Singapore, 26 April 2023 At Singapore Maritime Week, SGTraDex announced
upcoming launch of their Ship Supplies and Lighterage Optimisation Use Case due
early May, while also revealing the commencement of a new Use Case, Efficiency
Optimisation System for Voyage Planning.

Ship Supplies and Lighterage Optimisation Launching Early May 2023
First announced on 31 January 2023 through a pilot involving Maritime and Port
Authority of Singapore (MPA), Jurong Port and members of the Ship SuppliersAssociation of Singapore (SASS). The Ship Supplies and Lighterage Optimisation(SSLO) Use Case seeks to optimise the procurement flow of ship supplies andprovide end-to-end visibility of goods movements from both land and seaward
phases of the fulfilment process.
The pilot enabled SGTraDex to trial the Use Case with inputs from key players in theship supplies industry. Participants of the pilot also completed key milestones andpreparations are underway for the Use Case to go ‘live’ in early May with participants
adopting SGTraDex into their day-to-day processes.
“We are honoured to have partnered with Jurong Port, SASS and MPA for the Ship
Supplies and Lighterage Optimisation Use Case, a true showcase of public private
partnership coming together to solve industry challenges,” said Thaw Yee Leng,
Head of Market Development, SGTraDex Services. “We believe that SGTraDex
highway will help users transition from a paper-based process to a seamless digitalprocess, reduce the need for manual reconciliation, increase efficiency and boost
productivity.”1

"We are delighted to be a part of this initiative and collaborate with SGTraDex andJurong Port to launch the Ship Supplies and Lighterage Optimisation Use Case,"
said Danny Lien, President, SASS. "As the trade association for ship suppliers inSingapore, we are dedicated to supporting our members and enhancing thecompetitiveness of the industry.""We are pleased to see SGTraDex and Jurong Port partnering with SASS to develop
innovative digital solutions that optimise the ship supplies and lighterage industry,"
said Ng Yi Han, Director (Innovation, Technology and Talent Development), MPA.
“MPA looks forward to working with other industry partners to harmonise data
sharing across stakeholders and enhance the digital maturity of the ship supplies
sector in order to improve efficiency and service levels to strengthen Singapore’s
proposition as a one-stop shop for all port services.”
Desmond Ong, Director of Transformation and Technology, Jurong Port, shared“The integration of LT Connect with SGTraDex and ship suppliers presents
opportunities for the ship supplies industry to uplift themselves digitally. With morethan 200,000 transactions passing through Jurong Port annually, we are committed
to working with our partners to embrace digitalisation and promote a more efficient
supply chain.”

Efficiency Optimisation System for Voyage Planning Use Case Launched
In addition to the Ship Supplies and Lighterage Optimisation Use Case, SGTraDex
also revealed that they are developing a new use case – Efficiency Optimisation
System for Voyage Planning (EOS-VP) targeting industries involved in liquid bulk
operations.
Traditionally, vessel timestamp data has often been kept in isolated pockets of datasilos, resulting in a lack of operational visibility. To address this challenge, the newuse case aims to provide unified operational timestamp data across the supply chainto all relevant participants.

2Kelvin Ling, Head of Operations & Business Development and Operations stated,"We are confident that our Efficiency Optimisation System for Voyage Planning(EOS-VP) Use Case will strengthen operational efficiency, reduce manual
coordination, and provide empirical data for business intelligence for the maritime
sector. By providing unified timestamp data across the supply chain, from key
partners like PSA Marine and Advario. The trading, storage and maritime industry
can look forward to several benefits, such as the ability to trace event statuses andeventually achieve real-time visibility during operations.” He added: “The use casewill also reduce the need for manual communication and coordination, resulting inenhanced operational efficiency and improved demurrage management.”"Advario is excited about leading the development of the Efficiency Optimisation
System for Voyage Planning Use Case," said Bay Chin Hao, Director Innovation &Sustainability, Advario. "This tool represents a transformative step forward in thedigitalisation of the maritime, trading operations and storage terminal industry. We
are confident that it will provide participants in the ecosystem, including shippers,
vessel and product owners, a sustainable competitive advantage in the global
energy trading market."
Jimmy Koh, Head of Pilotage and Digital Transformation at PSA Marine, shared that
"Through PSA Marine’s ONEHANDSHAKE™, the Efficiency Optimisation System for
Voyage Planning Use Case will provide greater overall visibility of Singapore’s port
operation. Together with SGTradex, we look forward to achieving more efficient
resource management and better voyage planning for all the maritime stakeholders."

Key Developments in the Bunkering Optimisation Use CaseAs one of the first Use Cases to be launched, the Bunkering Optimisation Use Case
has made tremendous progress, most notably with the facilitation of digital trade datafor the first biofuel trade between Chevron and Ocean Network Express (ONE) inFebruary 2023, followed by supporting the transaction of marine fuels outside ofSingapore waters between KPI OceanConnect, Pacific International Lines andBunker One in the latter part of the month.
