As mentioned above, Singapore needs to find another 56 sq. km of space to accommodate a population of 6.9 million people. The idea of building floating assets for working, living and playing is highly attractive as all other space creation options which have served the nation well for the past five decades are now coming to a dead end.

Singapore has a robust pool of naval architects and marine engineers who have proven their mettle by delivering internationally accredited marine offshore structures to oil and gas fields four corners of the world. They include semi-submersibles, jack-ups, FPSOs, FSRUs FLNGs and offshore crew accommodations.

All the leading classification societies (e.g. LR, ABS, DNV-GL and NKK) have engineering staff in Singapore and some of the biggest dry docks are located here.

This offshore engineering resource is readily deployable to provide the engineering and construction of other floating recreational, commercial, residential or industrial assets.
