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.
