MPA launches Safety@Sea S'pore campaign

THE Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) yesterday launched the Safety@Sea Singapore campaign to increase awareness of safe practices and inculcate a safety-first culture at sea.

MPA chief executive Andrew Tan said: "Singapore is the world's busiest port in terms of vessel arrival tonnage, and is located along a vital shipping lane and one of the world's busiest waterways.

"The Safety@Sea Singapore campaign focuses on the human element in marine incidents. We want to safeguard against complacency, raise safety standards and get everyone in the community to do their part."
