COLLABORATION
In 2013, the Group was appointed by the Police Coast Guard of the Singapore Police Force (“Police Coast Guard”) and Coastal Command of the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (“ICA”) as a member of the Jurong Waters Safety & Security Network.
As a member of the Jurong Waters Safety & Security Network, the Group had contributed and participated in exercises with the Singapore Civil Defence Force (“SCDF”), Police Coast Guard, ICA as well as the Land Division of the Singapore Police Force (“SPF”) in the areas of maritime security.
The Group also participated in a joint rescue and fire response exercise with the SCDF. The exercise helped the Group in training its workforce on fire emergency procedures and also provided the Group an opportunity to further improve its health and safety procedures.
