Singapore Maritime and Port Authority Explores Confined Space NDT Drone Technology at the Flyability HQ

LAUSANNE, SWITZERLAND – In a move underscoring its commitment to technological advancement and operational excellence, a high-level delegation from the Singapore Maritime and Port Authority (MPA) recently visited Flyability's headquarters, a global leader in confined-space drone inspection technology. The visit served as an opportunity for the Singapore MPA team to gain first-hand insight into how collision-tolerant drone technology is being used by the maritime industry to improve safety and efficiency during inspection processes, aligning perfectly with Singapore’s vision for a digital and innovative port environment.

The maritime industry plays a vital role in global trade but faces constant pressure to enhance safety protocols, limit vessel downtime, and reduce operational costs. Traditional inspection methods require inspectors to enter confined spaces like ballast tanks, cargo holds, and cargo oil tanks, a practice that is both time-consuming and carries inherent risks. During the visit, the Singapore MPA delegation engaged with Flyability’s teams to learn how Flyability’s drones are able to meet class society data requirements without having to put anyone at risk, witnessing first-hand demonstrations of the drone’s capabilities and new autonomous features.

The Singapore MPA has consistently positioned itself as a global maritime hub driven by innovation and digital transformation. This visit to the Flyability headquarters directly supports the MPA’s strategic initiatives focused on accelerating technology adoption to build a safe, efficient, and sustainable Maritime Singapore.
