PRICE REVISIONS FOR WATER SUPPLIED TO VESSELS IN PORT
1 This circular supersedes Port Marine Circular No.04 of 2024.
2 PUB, Singapore’s National Water Agency, had announced that water prices
will be revised in two phases on 1 April 2024 and 1 April 2025, to reflect the rising
costs of producing and supplying water1. This is intended to encourage water
conservation to achieve a sustainable growth in water demand. The cost of
producing and supplying water has increased substantially since the last price
revision in 2017 and PUB will continue to take active cost mitigation measures.
Businesses are encouraged to adopt water conservation practices as well.
3 To reflect the second phase of the price revision on 1 April 2025, the Water
Charges, Waterborne Tax (WBT) and Water Conservation Tax (WCT) in respect of
water supplied to vessels in Port of Singapore will accordingly increase as follows,
with effect from 1 April 2025:
