The flying of unmanned aircraft (UA) is regulated by the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS). Persons looking to conduct drone operations may refer to the following link: https://www.caas.gov.sg/public-passengers/unmanned-aircraft...
…The owner, agent or master of any vessel entering the port of Singapore, must notify the Port Master of any UA flight from its/his/her vessel before the UA is flown from the vessel. The notification is to be made in this form [at https://form.gov.sg/#!/60b61ffe77573d001176cebc]. The owner, agent or master of any vessel who fails to comply with this section shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding $10,000.
Prior to flying over the port waters, the following checks should be conducted:
a) Ensure that the relevant regulatory requirements on purpose of activity, registration of the UA, location and allowable flying heights are complied with.
b) Ensure that relevant proof of registration and activity permits by CAAS are readily available to be shown when requested.
c) Understand and comply with CAAS’s UA Safety Guidelines. If a permit is required, apply for the permit prior to operating the UA and comply with the permits issued by CAAS.
d) Read and understand UA advisory circulars issued by CAAS. Details of these advisories can be found via the following link: https://www.caas.gov.sg/legislation-regulations/guidelines-advisory/unmanned-aircraft/advisory-circulars.
Masters and owners of vessels, including yachts, oil rigs, offshore platforms, harbour craft and pleasure craft, are also to remind all crew and passengers onboard to read and understand UA advisory circulars issued by CAAS or, if unsure, to seek clarification with CAAS/MPA before any UA operations.
It is an offence to operate an unregistered UA (when registration is required) or without the requisite permits and any person convicted of such an offence could be fined up to $50,000 or imprisonment for a term up to 2 years or both.
