This Port Marine Circular (PMC) supersedes PMC 23 of 2021 on 21 Jun 2021 and updates the requirements for wedding receptions and owners/operators of SZH[1]licensed pleasure craft from 21 Jun 2021.
All pleasure craft operators, owners and masters are reminded to ensure that they comply with the measures stipulated in the COVID-19 (Temporary Measures) (Control Order) Regulations 2020, and implement these measures in relation to persons boarding and on the craft.
These measures include implementing contact tracing procedures such as TraceTogether-only SafeEntry (TT-only SE) for all persons who board the pleasure craft. If TT-only SE is not implemented, the craft owner/operator/master must maintain a record of the passenger and crew manifest. Persons onboard should be encouraged to install and use the TraceTogether application or token. In addition, temperature screening and checks on visible respiratory symptoms3 must be conducted before any person boards the craft. Persons with a fever or who display any visible respiratory symptoms must not be allowed to board the craft and should be advised to seek medical attention immediately. Every individual must wear a mask at all times except in circumstances prescribed in the COVID-19 (Temporary Measures) (Control Order) Regulations 20204.
Gatherings of more than 5 persons5 onboard any pleasure craft are prohibited.
However, exemptions can be granted with prior approval for the following craft and
activity:
a) SZH-licensed pleasure craft activities; and
b) Marriage solemnisation onboard SZ-licensed pleasure craft…
…Owners/operators of SZH-licensed pleasure craft that intend to carry more than 5 passengers for the conduct of ANY activities are required to submit a one-time application for MPA’s review and approval... …The proposals shall be submitted at least 14 days prior to the commencement of the first trip with carriage of more than 5 passengers. The submission can be made to the Marine Safety and Environment Department via email: [email protected].
Owners/operators of SZH-licensed pleasure craft are reminded that live music, radio broadcasts and all forms of television/video screenings and other forms of entertainment such as dancing, darts or karaoke are not allowed on board. Recorded music may be played only as soft background music, not exceeding 60 decibels.
With effect from 21 Jun 2021, the charter limit of 4 hours will be lifted, and food and beverages may be consumed onboard the craft if not more than 2 persons are dining at the same time. Persons from the same household are required to be split into groups of not more than 2 persons and dine separately.
We thank the pleasure craft community for their support and remind all to remain vigilant to achieve a COVID-safe Singapore.
