Maritime Statistics
The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) is responsible for Singapore's port and maritime development, taking on the roles of Port Authority, Port Regulator, Port Planner, International Maritime Centre (IMC) Champion, and National Maritime Representative.
Statistics on vessel traffic, cargo volumes and other port activities within Singapore port waters are collated by the MPA.
Civil Air Traffic
The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS)’ roles are to enable the growth of the air hub and aviation industry, oversee and promote safety in the industry, provide air navigation services, and develop Singapore as a centre of excellence for aviation knowledge and human resource development.
Following the corporatisation of Changi Airport on 1 July 2009, the operations of Changi Airport, including the collection of data on passengers, airfreight, airmail and aircraft traffic passing through Changi Airport and Seletar Aerodrome, are managed by the Changi Airport Group Pte Ltd (CAG). Statistics on passenger, airfreight, parcel mail and aircraft movements are compiled by the CAAS from the data collected by the CAG.
Public Transport
The Land Transport Authority (LTA) is a statutory board under the Ministry of Transport, which spearheads land transport developments in Singapore. The land transport network has transformed significantly since the inception of LTA in 1995.
Statistics on land transport in Singapore come under the purview of the LTA.
Road Traffic Accident Casualties
Data on road traffic accident casualties are compiled from police records of fatal and injury traffic accidents that occurred on the roads of Singapore.
