The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore has reminded the shipping and port community of the importance of exercising extra caution, navigational prudence and best practices during festive seasons.
In its Port Marine Notice No.132 of 2018, the Authority notes that festive seasons are times of increased traffic and passenger ridership in the port of Singapore, so the shipping and port community are encouraged to observe the following:
a) Exercise caution and due diligence when operating at sea;

e) Strict adherence to company’s and/or shipboard drug and alcohol policies; and
