That energy was on full display at the Young Mariners’ Networking (YMN) event, where nearly 100 students from the Singapore Maritime Academy (SMA) and ITE College Central gathered alongside young seafarers for an afternoon packed with ideas, technology and real-world experiences. 

Held on 13 May 2026 at the Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) @ Punggol, the event was jointly organised by the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) and Young SMOU.
