Yanming Bay joins SASS Council

17/05/2020

Yanming Bay Business Development Manager at Singapore distributor, Safety Innovators, has been appointed onto the Singapore Association Shipsuppliers and Services (SASS) Council.

She was voted onto the council for her commitment to the industry and work within the company. Yanming will be supporting the association with several of the upcoming initiatives – including improving the digitalisation of the industry.

Yanming comments, “I got involved in SASS because I wanted to inspire more women in a traditionally male-dominated industry. I also believe that the marine and shipping industry needs to catch up with other sectors, particularly with regards to the adoption of new technologies. The marine industry is behind in terms of automation and digitalisation, so this is a particular focus for me.”

The council has already recognised the need to improve the digitalisation of the industry, and for the last year has been working on an industry study with the Marine Port Authority of Singapore, an Industry RoundTable on Efficiency 4.0, and a Masterclass in Digital Transformation – Fast Value from 4.0 Data Analytics.

In association with the SASS Council, Yanming will also be working with the marine port authorities to improve the standards and quality of products supplied within the marine industry – something she particularly passionate about through her company’s work with WesCom Signal & Rescue.

Safety Innovators is a leading supplier of safety, life-saving and firefighting equipment in Singapore, operating since 1987. The company has been a supplier of Pains Wessex for approximately 20 years.

“We stand by the importance of quality products particularly when seafarer’s lives depend on it.”
