PROHIBITED ANCHORING IN WESTERN SINGAPORE PORT LIMITS
The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) had earlier published Port
Marine Circular (PMC) No. 9 of 2018 to inform ship masters and owners of the
revisions to the port limits that entered into force on 6 December 2018, under the
Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (Port Limits) (Amendment) Notification 2018.
2 MPA would like to remind ship masters, owners and agents of vessels operating
in Singapore port waters that anchoring in all areas outside the designated anchorages
is strictly prohibited. With effect from 26 Dec 2018, stiffer penalties will apply, pursuant
to the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (Port) Regulations, to offenders whose
vessels are anchored outside the designated anchorages. Offenders may, upon
conviction, be liable for fines of up to $20,000 and $2,000 for every day or part of a
day that the offence continues after conviction.
