THE Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) Would like to remind ship masters and owners of vessels to take all necessary measures to prevent the accidental emissions of soot, ash, or dark smoke from engine exhaust and/or ancillary shipboard machineries throughout the duration of vessel stay in port.
The MPA takes a serious view of vessels emitting excessive smoke as it can adversely affect the air quality in the atmosphere. MPA will take stern action against offenders.
The MPA would also like to draw the attention of ship masters and owners of craft in the port to Regulation 66 of the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (Port) Regulations which states that: "No person may cause smoke, soot, ash or grit to be emitted from a vessel in such quantity or density as may, in the opinion of the authority, be a nuisance."
Failure to comply with the said regulation is an offence for which offenders can be prosecuted. If convicted, offenders may be fined up to S$5,000 (US$3,719).
For any enquiry, please contact Marine Safety Control Centre at tel: +65 6325 2488 / 6325 2489.
