New confidential channel for reporting near-miss incidents in Singapore port waters

A new confidential online channel for reporting near-miss incidents in Singapore port waters is expected to boost maritime safety. The aim is to identify trends in these close calls and address safety risks before they lead to serious accidents. This could include vessels passing dangerously close to each other or crew members nearly tripping over unsecured equipment. The initiative was announced at the opening of Safety@Sea Week. MPA also signed an agreement with marine technology firm Ocean Infinity to conduct trials of autonomous and remote marine operations in Singapore’s port waters. Charlotte Lim reports.
