Introduction  
     
 
Sembawang Shipyard is a major shipyard for ship-repair and ship-conversion in Singapore. Our company is also recognized to be a leading shipyard in the international ship-repair and ship-conversion industry.

Environmental protection and improvement are an integral part of our company's philosophy and practice. The "Green Wave" is our environmental care and protection project that aims to involve the community at large, particularly the students, to participate in learning about caring, protecting, maintaining and positively utilizing our environment so that individually and together, we can contribute towards the conservation and improvement of our environment for Singapore's sustainable development.

Through encouraging awareness, appreciation and innovative thinking in the area of environmental care and development, we are hopeful that participants will feel personally responsible and accountable for promoting and sustaining environmental care and protection. In targeting at students, we aspire to persuade and influence young minds to think globally and act locally. It is hoped that this project will set students on a life-long interest and concern for the environment and motivate them to participate actively in protecting and improving the quality of our environment thus contributing to the development of a better future for theirs and subsequent generations.

  Objectives  
     
 
The main objective is to inculcate awareness and motivate students to gain a sense of personal and group responsibility for their own environment and in the process, learn how to reason, think critically and act to protect it in a balanced way. The project also hopes to promote innovative thinking among students, encouraging them to develop new ideas, processes and equipment for the betterment of our environment.
