Singapore port authority revises gas free inspection charges for vessels
THE Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore has announced in marine circular No.07 that revisions have been made to its gas free inspection charges that will apply to inspection bookings made on or after July 1.
Under the existing dangerous goods, petroleum and explosives regulations, any vessel which has carried (as a whole or part of her last cargo) class "A" petroleum, including liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), or class "B" petroleum is not allowed into the port or shipyards unless the ship has been certified free from flammable vapour by an inspector of petroleum.
The revised gas free inspection charges are as follows: for vessels with tonnage of less than 1,000 gross tons, a charge of S$250 (US$186) will apply, and for every additional 5,000 gross tons thereafter or part thereof, an additional charge of S$70 applies.
The delay/waiting charges have been set at S$150 per hour or part thereof; and cancellation charges of S$150 will be applied per occurrence.
The port authority stated on its website that the cut off timing for the application of the cancellation charge has been aligned to that of the gas free inspection booking.
Outside of normal operating hours a 100 per cent surcharge will apply, it added.
