Singapore’s Maritime & Port Authority (MPA) revealed that seafarers will be housed on a PACC Offshore Services Holdings (POSH)-owned vessel to enable crew changes.
The MPA said crew who are unable to immediately connect with planes or vessels when signing on or off in its port will be required to stay on the vessel or at a city hotel.
Authorities will approve crew changes involving seafarers requiring long transits, subject to a booking in one of the two designated holding facilities.
