STRAITREP filings, MPA Singapore validation, VTIS reporting, and piracy risk documentation — in one workflow. Built specifically for the Strait of Malacca's three-authority compliance maze.
90,000+ annual Malacca transits. 30% of global seaborne trade. The only SaaS platform for Strait of Malacca compliance.
Every Malacca transit touches Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia authorities. Each has its own deadline, format, and validation requirement — and mistakes get flagged across all three simultaneously.
Singapore's VTIS, Malaysia's VTS Johor and Port Klang, and Indonesia's VTIS Batam all require separate reports. A single transit generates filing obligations across three national maritime authorities — each with its own submission format and deadline window.
STRAITREP participation is mandatory for all vessels over 300 GT under IMO Resolution A.858(20). Vessels towing (combined length over 200m) and all vessels carrying dangerous or polluting cargo must also report — regardless of size. Non-participation triggers port state control scrutiny.
At its narrowest point near Singapore, the Malacca Strait squeezes to 1.7 nautical miles. The Traffic Separation Scheme (TSS) governs vessel movement through this bottleneck — TSS violations carry port state control sanctions and flag state notifications across the region.
The Strait of Malacca remains on the IMB Piracy Reporting Centre watch list. Under ISPS Code obligations, operators must file anti-piracy risk assessments, maintain BMP compliance documentation, and submit voyage plans to ReCAAP ISC — documentation most operators assemble manually per-transit.
One platform replaces the manual STRAITREP process, validates against all three littoral state requirements, and keeps your fleet compliant across every transit.
AI extracts vessel data from your existing documents and populates all STRAITREP fields to IMO spec. No re-keying, no format errors, no failed submissions from missing mandatory fields. Report position updates generated automatically as you pass reporting points.
Instant check against MPA Singapore's current requirements — VTIS pre-arrival notices, port clearance documentation, and PSC pre-notification. Commercial vessels calling Singapore get a compliance-ready package generated before they enter port limits.
Automated alerts fire before each VTIS reporting point. Singapore 2-hour pre-arrival, STRAITREP positional reports, dangerous cargo 24-hour pre-notifications — CanalClear tracks your vessel's position against all mandatory reporting boundaries.
Auto-generates ISPS-compliant anti-piracy risk assessments and ReCAAP ISC voyage reports for each transit. BMP compliance checklist included. One click produces the full piracy risk documentation package required by charterers and P&I clubs.
Track Malacca, Panama, Suez, and Bosporus transits in one place. Compliance score per vessel, active alerts, filing status, and cost savings — all on the same dashboard your team already uses.
Every filing is timestamped and stored. When MPA Singapore or a PSC inspector requests proof of compliance, you produce the original submission with one click — no more assembling evidence from email threads during port inspections.
CanalClear is API-integrated with MPA Singapore's OCEANS-X platform — the only maritime SaaS to connect directly to Singapore's authoritative vessel registry. Enter an IMO number and your filing auto-populates with MPA-verified vessel data. Pre-arrival notifications submit to digitalPORT@SG with one click and a logged MPA reference number.

Three steps. Cut your agent's prep work to zero.
Add vessels by IMO number. CanalClear pulls existing certificate data, vessel particulars, and prior transit history.
Review pre-populated fields, confirm cargo details, and let the validation engine catch issues before you submit.
One-click submission to VTIS Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Confirmation returned immediately. Positional alerts activate automatically.
CanalClear tracks these automatically and alerts your team before each window closes.
