Singapore Changi Airport Group (CAG) has unveiled a newly commissioned fleet of sea rescue craft during its annual crisis simulation exercise, “Exercise Bobcat,” aimed at enhancing emergency preparedness. The exercise involved over 200 participants from nearly 20 agencies and tested the operational readiness of the Airport Emergency Service (AES).

The new fleet includes three types of vessels: Command Craft, Fast Craft, and Landing Craft, all designed to improve rescue coordination, firefighting, and casualty management. These new craft replace older models and highlight CAG’s commitment to passenger safety and operational efficiency.

CAG continues to invest in its emergency services to ensure safety remains a top priority.

Working for 25 years in the aviation industry, I changed my career and became a firefighter/EMT in 2021. I like to spend my free time with my two sons, girlfriend, family and friends. I love to travel, wine and dine and support my favourite football squad KV Mechelen. Once an Ironman 70.3 finisher and dreaming of completing a full distance.
