MPA will be progressively moving towards the full implementation of electronic certificates
that are issued to ships by our Administration commencing December 2017.
The electronic certificates issued by MPA will contain all features in accordance to FAL.5/Circ. 39/Rev.2. In addition, the electronic certificates contain a Quick Response (QR) Code to
facilitate the verification process. Relevant parties seeking to verify the authenticity and validity of the electronic certificates can do so online either by using the QR Code found in
each electronic certificate or by entering the unique tracking number at the online verification system. More details on the use of electronic certificates on board Singapore-registered ship
can be found in
MPA Shipping Circular No. 26 of 2017..
