Annex A
E-Wallet Initiatives
- Marinet’s value-added services include the provision of real-time information
on vessel movement and location, allowing companies to make informed business
decisions.
- Value-added services include the following chargeable services:
• Vessel Movement Alert at $0.21 per SMS

• Daily Shipping State List at $0.64 per enquiry
• I-Track for own vessels at $10.70 per vessel per month

- Small value bills are generated from these transactions. Hence to improve
process efficiency, e-Wallet would be introduced for the payment of these value
added services.
- With e-Wallet, Companies will no longer receive bills for these transactions
and payments will be made through a stored value system via Marinet. Companies
can top up the stored value2 in their e-Wallet using the various e-Payment modes.
- Customers can top up e-Wallet using Giro, and they would be billed for the
top-up values.
- To encourage the use of e-Wallet, all existing customers3 will be given a free
one-off $10 stored value which they can use to pay for value-added services on e-
Wallet.
2 The denomination for the top up of the stored value would be set at $10, $50, $100 and $300. The
stored value would be capped at $500.
