The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) has issued a reminder to exercise care and remain vigilant at sea during the north-east monsoon.
In its Port Marine Notice No.05 of 2025, the MPA urges owners, agents and masters to ensure that vessels and cargoes are properly secured at sea. Firefighting and life-saving appliances on board ships must be properly maintained and in working condition, in compliance with the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) regulations and applicable Singapore Port regulations. Masters and crew must be familiar with the safety and emergency procedures, especially when embarking and disembarking passengers during adverse weather conditions.
Vessels should maintain safe speeds, observe the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS), and ensure proper mooring arrangements when alongside. At anchorage, crew members should maintain vigilance, monitor weather conditions, ensure the readiness of main engines for immediate manoeuvring, and don appropriate life jackets when boarding or leaving the vessel.
