The new Port Operations Control Centre of Singapore has been officially commissioned.  Equipped with the state-of-the-art C-Scope System delivered by Kongsberg Norcontrol IT, POCC-Changi plays a critical role in protecting the marine environment and ensuring the safe navigation of vessels in and around Singapore.
