Singapore – The non-profit organisation Singapore Maritime Foundation (SMF) has launched an animated series to boost awareness of maritime. The series aims to engage young audiences and spark interest in the industry.
SMF recently released the first episode of ‘Boaty’s Adventures in Maritime City.’ The nine-minute episode features SMF’s mascot, 10-year-old ‘Boaty’ as he explores ports and ships.
The short film offers a glimpse of port and tech operations in maritime, using colourful animation for young audiences.
Besides the film, SMF also has activities and learning resources for young people on its website.
The move is part of SMF’s effort to build its talent pipeline, aiming to spark curiosity among viewers at an early age.
SMF is set to release three more episodes of the series in the following months.
