The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) yesterday issued a reduced visibility warning to ships, as farmers slash and burn vast chunks of forest in neighbouring Indonesia creating significant haze around Southeast Asia.

“During periods of restricted visibility, shipmasters are advised to keep a proper lookout and navigate with caution,” MPA stated, adding that ships must use navigation lights and sound signals to move around Singaporean waters.
