Warning on navigation

Skuld has advised members to review navigational practices after a number of recent incidents in Singapore waters. It said Singapore is one of the key shipping hubs in the world and is a major transhipment centre, handling more than 32m TEU, as well as being Asia’s prime centre for the offshore industry. All of this does mean, however, a constant flow of marine traffic, the vast majority of which is conducted safely and without incident. It is, however, timely to reiterate the need for best practices to safe navigation in these busy waters and the MPA Singapore has published a useful reminder of the key points to remember.
