AI for supply chain resilience
Global logistics and supply chain service provider PSA BDP, part of PSA Group, is teaming up with A*Star’s Institute of High Performance Computing (IHPC) to develop a new AI model, dubbed ‘AI-based Event Mining and Impact Evaluation of Maritime Shipping Disruptions.’
As part of a three-year collaboration, this new initiative is combining the logistics knowledge from PSA BDP with the expertise in AI, modelling and simulation of A*STAR IHPC.
Utilising AIS data and other public sources of information, the system will detect shipping interruptions early, forecast any impacts on terminal capacity and operations, and support more resilient decision‑making. Each of these components can then be used as part of mitigation strategies.
By enabling earlier detection and faster response during unforeseen events, the AI model will be able to better support logistics providers, shipping lines, and port operators maintain supply chain continuity and operational resilience
The AI development process is also going to experiment with large language models (LLMs) in order to assess unstructured information like news or regulatory updates.
The model will be tested and validated in Singapore before a planned broader rollout to global markets.
The project is being funded under a Singapore Maritime Institute (SMI) grant, part of Phase 2 of the Maritime AI Research Programme, with support from the Maritime Port Authority (MPA).
