Singapore in 2083 (Hypothetical scenario)

[Jared Seah]

Singapore in 2083? I hope I am gracefully dead by then.

I guess it's harmless to engage in shooting the breeze to kill time

In the past when ships use winds to propel for merchant goods using the monsoons, i may agreed.
With today modern ships, aircraft and possibly space travel 50 years later ... i doubt there is significant impact.

That's do not mean we should not be prepared for it. We still have to continue to be more efficient, better service and management ... is all about people.

I cannot imagine lifting a 85,000tons Panamax into the sky and land safely at affordable cost. Capesize will be worst (>100kt). How about oil tankers with all the pressure concerns? Land and explode?

Maybe technology will advance to that stage one day. Maybe.

Maybe. I hope Panamax is not using Sail to move.
