Our President's Message
Dear Members, Industry Partners, Business Associates and Friends of SASS,
First and foremost, my sincere appreciation for the years of friendship and support. Without all your unwavering support, this journey would not have been possible.
SASS is now playing a critical role in helping the industry transform in the digital era. Faced with numerous challenges in a highly fragmented industry, coupled with inconsistent and uncollated data, SASS is working with government agencies and members to provide the common data, tools and systems needed to move our industry forward.
On the environmental protection front, SASS is actively working with numerous industry partners to reduce carbon footprint and reduce the use of single-use plastics amongst other initiatives. SASS has signed MOUs with drone port operators and drone operators to develop drones and facilities that can support the ship supplies industry.
SASS also has regular dialogues with port operators PSA and Jurong Port to explore safer and more efficient ways to supply ships in port and at the anchorages. Digitalising the information and process flow is often central to that conversation.
As I conclude, please again accept my sincere thank you and appreciation for your friendship and support for SASS. The SASS team and I look forward to your continued support as we head towards 50 years of service to the Singapore ship supply industry.
Sincerely,
Danny Lien
President, SASS
