Singapore ships equipped with the Global Maritime Distress Safety System (GMDSS) are required to obtain an MMSI number from Satellite Department of Singapore Telecommunications Limited.
An email application can be made by writing to [email protected]. The ship’s name and call sign need to be provided in the email application. Please be informed that the MMSI number assigned to a ship will be valid for a period of two months from the date of assignment. The assigned MMSI number will be withdrawn if no application for Ship Station Licence is received by Infocomm Media Development Authority of Singapore (IMDA) upon expiry of the two months validity period.
For Singapore ships that are fitted or need to be fitted with a radio station, the owner is required to apply to IMDA for a licence to operate the shipboard radio station after receiving the MPA Certificate of Registry. Applicants can apply for this Licence online via the guidance provided on IMDA website (https://www.imda.gov.sg/regulations-and-licensing-listing/ship-station-licence). For third party entity (i.e. for ship manager/agent) applying on behalf of the owner, the ship owner would need to authorise the third party via https://www.corppass.gov.sg/corppass/common/userguides - “Authorise and Manage Third Party Entity”. For any change of information to the Ship Station Licence or general enquiries on Ship Station Licence, please contact IMDA via email to [email protected] or [email protected].
Any queries relating to this circular should be directed to the SRS Hotline at Tel: 1800 272 7777 (select option 1), or the LRIT’s dedicated email account at [email protected].
