In response to industry feedback, MPA [the Maritime & Port Authority of Singapore] will be expanding the online certificate authentication services. The authenticity and validity of statutory certificates issued directly by MPA to Singapore ships can now be verified via two online platforms - the Marinet (marinet.mpa.gov.sg/xr/servlet/XR_login) and the MPA website (www.mpa.gov.sg/sites/global_navigation/e-services/e_services.page) - by various parties such as ship owners, port authorities, banks and law firms. The statutory certificates affected by the changes are: (i) Certificate of Singapore Registry (COR) (ii) Civil Liability Oil Pollution Convention (CLC) Certificate (iii) Civil Liability Bunker Oil Pollution Convention (BCC) Certificate (iv) Continuous Synopsis Record (CSR) (v) Long Range Identification Tracking (LRIT) Conformance Test Report (vi) Deletion Certificate For faster verification via the online authentication system, a Quick Response (QR) code has been added to each of the statutory certificate. A unique certificate number will also be allocated for some of the certificates. Other new features would include (i) an electronic image of the signature of either the Registrar of Singapore Ships or Director of Marine and (ii) embossed MPA stamp on the original certificates. Existing Certificates of Singapore Registry, CSRs and the LRIT Conformance Test Reports issued by MPA to Singapore ships prior to 1 December 2014 will continue to remain valid. CLC Certificates and BCC Certificates issued by MPA prior to 1 December 2014 will continue to be valid until its period of expiry stated on the certificate.
