ST Engineering, Wilhelmsen Ship Services to develop unmanned shore-to-ship parcels

The former will provide flight tests and development services for system integration.

ST Engineering and Norway-based Wilhelmsen Ships Services (WSS) will be developing and testing solutions for Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) unmanned shore-to-ship parcels in Singapore, according to a news release.

For this venture, ST Engineering will provide flight tests and technology development services for system integration and solution prototyping. Key technologies include precision landing on-board ship vessel’s metallic platform, non line-of-sight datalink and parcel delivery authentication and release system.

The project will receive funding as part of the call for proposal by the Civil Authority Aviation of Singapore (CAAS) and the Singapore Ministry of Transport.

In 2018, ST Engineering inked a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with CAAS to facilitate the development of BVLOS Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) in the country. In January 2019, DroNet, an end-to-end solution that uses advanced unmanned technologies through a network system to carry out specific tasks or services, was granted the first BVLOS permit for trial operations in Singapore.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
