The MSC/Circ.1130 is attached for your easy reference. 2 Pursuant to Sections 10 and 44 of the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore Act (Cap.170A), and Regulation 63A of the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (Port) (Amendment) Regulations 2004, the Port Master hereby directs the master, owner and agent of the following vessels to declare the information requested in the PANS form in this circular: (a) (b) (c) Passenger ships, including high-speed passenger craft; Cargo ships, including high-speed craft, of 500 gross tonnage and upwards; and Mobile Offshore Drilling Units

2 Revision to the Pre-Arrival Notification of Security (PANS) 3 Arising from suggestion from the shipping community, we have made changes to the format of the PANS form attached as Appendix 1. 4 With effect from 1 Dec 05, the masters of vessels mentioned in Para 2 shall complete the revised PANS form attached as Appendix 1 of this circular, and send it to the PORT SECURITY DEPARTMENT at Fax No. (65) or 1 isps@mpa.gov.sg at least 24 hours before the ship s arrival in Singapore. The Ship Security Officer and the Company Security Officer may submit the form on behalf of the master. The ship s Agent based in Singapore may submit the form under the expressed authority of the master. 5 Furthermore, the ship s local agent under the expressed authority of the master may also wish to submit the PANS form through MPA Marinet. Guidance for establishing security measures when vessels call at Non-ISPS compliant ports 6 As not all the port facilities in the world are ISPS compliant, we have provided guidance to ISPS compliant ships calling non-isps compliant ports. A copy of the guidance is attached in this circular as Appendix 2. To avoid any delays to the ship and cargo operations, it is recommended that ISPS compliant ships implement the security measures, declare it in the PANS form and retain onboard the completed checklist before calling the port of Singapore. Control measures 7 The shipping community is informed that ships at Singapore s port will be subjected to control and compliance measures. These may include the assessment of ship security information provided in the PANS prior to the ship entering the port. If there are clear grounds that a ship is not in compliance with the requirements of the ISPS Code, the ship may be subjected to a more detailed inspection, delay or detention, restriction of operations or movements in port, or may even be denied entry. 8 Any queries relating to this circular should be directed to LTC (NS) Krishnan at Tel: or Capt Pang Yock Foo at Tel: Port Marine Circular No. 11 of 2005 is hereby cancelled. MARK LIM YEW GUAN for PORT MASTER MARITIME AND PORT AUTHORITY OF SINGAPORE 1 A vessel coming from nearby port, with less than 24 hours steaming time to Singapore, shall immediately on departure from such port notify the Maritime Security Department of MPA.
