The new concession, to be given from March 1 to August 31, will be on top of all existing port dues concessions.
All cruise vessels and regional ferries with a port stay of not more than five days and passenger-carrying harbour craft will qualify for the new concession.
It is expected to benefit more than 600 cruise vessels, regional ferries and passenger-carrying harbour craft, bringing total savings of over $1m in the six-month period, calculates the MPA.
The new port dues concession for passenger vessels is part of the COVID-19 relief package announced Tuesday by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance Heng Swee Keat.
