シンガポール: COVID-19関連規則違反で47人の個人と7企業に処分

シンガポール海事港湾庁(MPA)は、2020年11月から2021年6月までの間に、2020年新型コロナウィルス感染症（暫定措置）法で定められた安全管理規則に違反したとして、47人の個人と外航船舶関連業者を含む７企業を処分したと発表しました。

The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) announced that 47 individuals and 7 companies, including ocean-going vessel interests, were penalized between November 2020 and June 2021 for breaching safe management regulations, apparently related to the COVID-19 (Temporary Measures) Act 2020.

Exceeding the maximum group size that was permitted for social gatherings on board pleasure craft, not wearing the appropriate level of personal protective equipment in the ship’s stores, a long-term permit holder residing on board a harbourcraft came ashore without MPA’s approval, or failure to submit mandatory notifications to MPA on the boarding of a shore-based personnel are found to have breached the law.

The MPA advised that a person who commits an offence under that Act is liable, on first conviction, to a maximum fine of $10,000 or imprisonment of up to 6 months or to both, and on a second or subsequent offence, to a maximum fine of $20,000 or imprisonment up to 12 months or to both. In addition, the craft or vessel may also have its license suspended by the MPA for up to 30 days.
