Since 16 May 2019, the owner, master or agent of any trade craft arriving in the port to call at Jurong Port is required to submit to MPA, a valid certificate of registry (“COR”) for the trade craft, authenticated by the Indonesian Embassy to MPA, in exercise of the Port Master’s powers under section 44(2)(b)(vi) of the Maritime and Port Authority Of Singapore Act (Chapter 170A) (the “Act”). The COR for the vessel must be submitted to MPA at [email protected] at least 3 working days, prior to the trade craft’s entry into port. The COR for the trade craft needs to be submitted to MPA only once and need not be re-submitted for subsequent calls made by the same vessel.
In exercise of the Port Master’s powers under regulation 45(2) of the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (Port) Regulations (the “Port Regulations”), the owner, master, agent or person-in-charge of a trade craft arriving in the port to call at Jurong Port must ensure that the trade craft complies with the following restrictions, with effect from [05/05/2025] to [04/05/2027] :
i. No entering, movement or staying within any waters within the port limits, between 1900-0700hrs daily, except with prior written approval from the MPA’s Port Master. Any queries related to this PMN shall be submitted to [email protected].
ii. Trade crafts entering port to call at Jurong Port must follow the designated route, through Jong Fairway, to Jurong Port.
iii. No anchoring at Selat Pauh and any other anchorage, except AWQI for immigration clearance or emergency
Definition of Trade Craft : A craft that transports goods regionally, to which the SOLAS Convention (the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea 1974, as amended) does not apply. Such craft may typically , but not necessarily, be of wooden, glass fibre or steel hull construction.
Any person who:
a) fails to comply with the requirements set out in paragraph 1 commits an offence under section 44(3) of the Act, punishable upon conviction, with a fine of up to $10,000.
b) fails to comply with any of the requirements set out in paragraphs 2(i) to (iii) commits an offence under section 45(3)(b) of the Port Regulations, punishable upon conviction, with a fine of up to $20,000, and in the case of a continuing offence, to a further fine of up to S$2,000 for every day or part of the day the offence continues.
