Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) held a half-day ferry evacuation exercise in May 2016 to test the readiness of various agencies to respond to potential ferry mishaps in the Port of Singapore.
More than 150 personnel from eight agencies and companies took part in this exercise, which included deployment of resources at sea at the Small Craft Anchorage for rescue operations and at Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal (TMFT), the landing point for ‘rescued’ passengers.
