UK Hydrographic Office produces 3 new Port Approach Guides for Singapore
THE United Kingdom Hydrographic Office (UKHO) has launched three new Port Approach Guides with the support of Singapore's Maritime and Port Authority (MPA). The new charts are designed to make port entry and exit quicker and easier.
The three new guides cover Tuas View to Pasir Panjang, including Jurong Channel (number 8175), Sinki Fairway to Southern Fairway (8176), and Southern Fairway to Changi (8177).
Forming part of the UKHO's global series of Port Approach Guides, each one is a single chart that contains specific passage planning information for the port in question.
UKHO product manager, Michelle Case, commented in a statement: "We've worked closely with MPA to ensure these new ADMIRALTY Port Approach Guides provide comprehensive information to assist mariners in their entry into and exit from Singapore and Master Pilot Exchange."
In 2015, Singapore's vessel arrival tonnage reached 2.5 billion GT, and 1,000 ships can be found in its ports at any one time. Last year its ports handled a total of 30.9 million TEU.
