Visibility in the Port of Singapore may be affected due to prolonged and widespread haze or other environmental factors. In the interest of safety of navigation and life at sea, the Port Master may restrict the movement of harbour craft in the port waters during reduced visibility conditions.
Owners/masters and operators of harbour craft will be duly notified to suspend harbour craft movements if the state of visibility reduces to less than 0.25 nautical miles.
The Port Master may grant exemptions for harbour craft engaged in providing essential services in port, on condition that the craft is fitted with operational radar and electronic positional fixing equipment.
The requests for such exemptions can be directed to the Marine Safety Control Centre at Tel: 63252488 / 63252489 or (email: pms @ mpa.gov.sg)
Owners/masters and operators of harbour craft will also be duly notified when the restriction on harbour craft movements is lifted (when the state of visibility increases to more than 0.25 nautical miles).
