The Baltic Exchange’s Mark Ma was part of the judging panel for the National Maritime Case Competition (NMCC) final round held in Singapore on 21 June.

The competition looks to bridge the knowledge gap between students and the maritime industry in order to heighten awareness and create interest among the next generation.

Entrants are exposed to real-life industry issues and are challenged with producing feasible and innovative solutions.

The finalists presented their deliverables to the judges and audience in attendance. In the end, it was a close fight for the top three positions with all of the entrants impressing, but it was team Sashimi who took home first prize.
