BCA offers storage plot(s) at Pasir Ris Aggregate Terminal (PRAT), Lorong Halus (LH) and Tuas Aggregate Terminal (TAT) for quarantine use under the Stage 2 test requirement. As BCA will allow up to 4 users to use each storage plot for quarantine purposes, the sub-divided plots will hereafter be referred to as Quarantine Sub-Plots.

Applicants for Quarantine Sub-Plots are advised to read carefully the following documents before submitting their applications.

1. Quarantine Sub-Plot - Application Procedures
2. Quarantine Sub-Plot Application form

With the need for quarantine of the first consignment of materials from sources new to the importers under the new test regime, BCA introduces a new "Joint Shipment" concept. This concept facilitates the sharing of shipments among importers of aggregates. Under this arrangement, the shipping agent (called the "Shipper") for each joint shipment is fully responsible for the following:

1. The unloading process at the aggregate terminal.

2. Ensuring that all tenants and non-tenants in the joint shipment abide by the terms and conditions stipulated by BCA. For instance, the Shipper has to ensure that all the tenants in the joint shipment unload their aggregates at their respective tenant storage plots assigned by BCA near the aggregate terminal. The Shipper also has to ensure that all quarantine aggregates in the joint shipment are directly transported to their respective quarantine sites which are pre-approved by BCA.

3. Aggregates imported by the Shipper in one vessel / barge can be for both quarantine and non-quarantine purposes. However, the aggregates for quarantine and non-quarantine must be distinctly different in terms of type and sizes. To illustrate, sand and 20mm aggregates are distinctly different and can be distinguished, but not M-sand and granite dust.

4. The Shipper is required to list down clearly the different consignments of aggregates on the barge/vessel, the respective importers (and tenancy status), the type/amount of aggregate for each consignment, and whether the consignment is of Stage 2 status (ie. need for quarantine) in the Landing Permit Application form.

5. The Shipper is required to identify the tenants, non-tenants, transit non-tenants and quarantine tenants among the importers in the Landing Permit Application Form. For those consignments of aggregates to be quarantined, the shipper is required to list down the address of the quarantine site.

6. The Shipper is required to pay a Security Deposit for importing the aggregates to BCAs aggregate terminals. The Security Deposit is S$30,000.00 per terminal.

7. The Shipper is required to pay all necessary fees for use of the berthing facilities on behalf of his importers.
