With effect from 1 August 2022, Singapore’s National Environment Agency (NEA), Port Health Section will resume ship inspection services for the issuance of Ship Sanitation Certificate (SSC) in phases.
The first phase is applicable to ships that are docked alongside shore, such as terminals and shipyards. Inspection of ships at the anchorage will not resume at this time, but will remain under review for reinstatement in phase 2.
Ship inspection will take place every weekday between 9am to 5pm, excluding public holidays and weekends. It remains the responsibility of the ship’s masters or agent to ensure that their ship is docked alongside shore and accessible for an inspection during the mentioned hours/day, before making any applications.
NEA Port Health will be robust in addressing any non-compliances identified in the applications received
NEA said.
