Revisions to Gas Free Inspection Charges

Pursuant to Regulation 11 of the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (Dangerous Goods, Petroleum and Explosives) Regulations, 2005, any vessel which has carried Class "A" petroleum or Class "B" petroleum is not allowed to proceed to any place within the port or into shipyards unless the vessel has been certified free from flammable vapour by an Inspector of Petroleum. The Gas Free Inspection charges have remained unchanged since MPA's formation in 1996. Following MPA's recent scheduled review and industry consultation, the revisions to the charges are as follows: (a) Standardise Gas Free Inspection Charge: For vessels with tonnage of less than 1,000 GT, a charge of $250 applies; for every additional 5,000 GT thereafter or part thereof, an additional charge of $70 applies. (b) Delay/Waiting Charge: Delay/Waiting charges are at $150 per hour or part thereof. (c) Cancellation Charge: (i) Cancellation charges are at $150 per occurrence. (ii) The cut off timing for the application of cancellation charge has been aligned to that of Gas Free Inspection Booking. (d) Outside Normal Operating Hours Surcharge : A 100% surcharge applies. All the revisions will take effect for inspection bookings made for 1 July 2015 onwards, with the exception of (cii), which will take effect for bookings made for 1 January 2016 onwards.
