23 Jun 2020 / Singapore
From 1 July 2020, the height restriction in the Cruise Bay for all vessels will be revised from 52 metres to 50 metres.
The amendments are as follows:
(a) Under Regulation 49(1) of the MPA (Port) Regulations, a person must not cause or permit a vessel exceeding 50 metres in height to enter or remain in the Cruise Bay.
(b) Under Regulation 49(2) of the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (Port) Regulations, a person must not cause or permit a vessel in the Cruise Bay to be modified to attain a height exceeding 50 metres.
Pursuant to Regulation 49(4) of the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (Port) Regulations, the owner, agent, master or person-in-charge of a vessel exceeding 48 metres in height is to obtain prior written approval of the Port Master before entering, manoeuvring within or leaving Cruise Bay. When applying for approval, the following documents must be submitted:
(a) The owner, agent, master or person-in-charge must submit a certificate from any classification society authorised by MPA as a Recognised Organisation, stating the maximum height of the vessel. A list of Recognised Organisations is available at http://www.mpa.gov.sg/web/portal/home/singapore-registry-of-ships/registerwith-srs/additional-information#AI10
(b) The master must give a written undertaking that the height of the vessel will not exceed 50 metres throughout the period of the vessel’s stay within the Cruise Bay.
For the purpose of height restriction, the height of a vessel is measured vertically from the waterline of the vessel to the highest point of the vessel including its cargo, structure, or equipment on board. If there are extendible structures on board, the highest point shall be the maximum height attainable by these structures when fully extended, if such extended height exceeds the height of its cargo, or fixed structures or equipment.
