In April, local start-up F-Drones became the first company to conduct drone deliveries here. It signed a one-year deal with shipping giant Eastern Pacific Shipping that kicked off with a delivery from Marina South Pier to a vessel anchored 2.7km offshore.
Another start-up, Aerolion Technologies, was granted funding by government agencies to develop a building cleaning drone. It also recently won a contact with water agency PUB to deploy drones for canal inspections.
And last Thursday (Aug 13), foodpanda announced that it is partnering ST Engineering to test the use of drones for food deliveries, as it flew five packets of ayam penyet to a ship 3km offshore.
