SINGAPORE'S ROLE IN PROMOTING THE USE OF ELECTRONIC CHART DISPLAY AND INFORMATION SYSTEM (ECDIS) TO ENHANCE NAVIGATIONAL SAFETY
Abstract
The Singapore Strait is one of the world's busiest waterways used by international shipping Coupled with this, the Port of Singapore is the world's busiest port in terms of shipping and cargo tonnage and the second busiest container port. Navigational safety is Singapore's concern and we are convinced that the ECDIS is the key to further enhancing navigational safety in the Singapore Strait and the port waters of Singapore. We have initiated the production of Electronic Navigational Chart data and invested in infrastructural supporting facilities such as DGPS brodcast service for use with ECDIS as well as other maritime systems.
