Near-miss reporting

A near-miss is defined as a sequence of events and/or conditions that could have resulted in loss. This loss was prevented only by a fortuitous break in the chain of events and/or conditions. The potential loss could be human injury, environmental damage, or negative business impact. Reporting of near-misses plays an important role in learning from istakes, and preventing accidents and their serious consequences. All ships plying in Singapore waters and the Singapore Strait are encouraged to report to the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore if near-misses are encountered and/or observed. These reports are confidential and not intended to apportion blame or to determine liability, but to assist in improving the safety of navigation. Reporting may be via the following means: MARINE SAFETY CONTROL CENTRE Telephone numbers: 6325 2488, 6325 2489, 6220 3803 Facsimile number: 6325 2484 VHF Channel: 07 Email: [email protected] PORT OPERATIONS CONTROL CENTRE Telephone numbers: 6325 2493, 6325 2494 Facsimile number: 6224 5776 VHF Channel: 05, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 21, 22, 25, 68, 73 Email: [email protected] (For information about operations in Singapore contact GAC Singapore at [email protected]) Source: Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore Port Marine Circular No.04 of 2015
