Maritime Singapore’s Approach

Prevention Preparedness & Planning

Prevention – The Safe Transport of Oil

The Tripartite Technical Experts Group (TTEG), established by Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore in 1975, to discuss and collaborate on issues to enhance navigational safety and protection of the marine environment in the Straits.

The Routeing System which incorporated a Traffic Separation Scheme (TSS) and rules for vessels moving in the Straits; and

The mandatory ship reporting system (or STRAITREP) in the Straits.

Enhance Straits Safety

Prevention – The Safe Transport of Oil

Singapore Electronic Navigational Chart (ENC), launched in 1998, large scale ENCs for commercial use.

The first official Malacca

and Singapore Straits ENCs were jointly produced by the hydrographic offices of Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore, and supported by Japan, under the Four Nations Joint Survey project. The ENCs were officially released in December 2005.

Introduce ENC

Prevention – The Safe Transport of Oil

• All vessels passing through the Straits of Malacca and Singapore are kept track of by MPA’s Port Operations Control Centre, using the Vessel Traffic Information System (VTIS).

• Can track up to 5,000 vessels in real time.

Enhance Safety of Navigation in Port

Prevention – The Safe Transport of Oil

• MARPOL 73/78 - International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, 1973, as modified by the Protocol 1978, Annexes I, II, III, IV, V and VI (includes regulations aimed at preventing and minimizing pollution from ships)

• CLC - International Conventions on Civil Liability for Oil Pollution Damage, 1992 (to ensure that adequate compensation is available)

• FUND - International Conventions on the Conventions Establishment of an International Fund for Compensation for Oil Pollution Damage (FUND) 1992 (to provide ‘top-up’ compensation for pollution damage when the limited liability of the ship owner is inadequate)
