Frequently asked questions
About this SSOC unit and the Transport & Logistics occupational cluster
What insurance is mandatory for transport operators?
Motor vehicle third-party liability insurance is compulsory. Freight forwarders and logistics providers often carry cargo liability and professional indemnity coverage as a contractual requirement.
Do I need an operator licence from LTA?
Road freight and passenger transport operators typically require a Goods Vehicle Licence, Public Service Vehicle Licence, or equivalent from the Land Transport Authority. Check the specific licence class for your vehicle type and operational scope.
What maritime permits apply under this SSIC code?
If the activity involves port or harbour operations, the Maritime and Port Authority (MPA) may require a Port Limit Licence, Harbour Craft Licence, or specific operator approval.
Are special aviation certifications required?
Air transport and related services under the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) framework need an Air Operator Certificate and may be subject to Changi Airport Group operational rules.
What is SSIC and why does it matter?
The Singapore Standard Industrial Classification (SSIC) is the national system for categorising business activities. It is mandatory at ACRA registration and is used by IRAS, MOM, and other government agencies for tax, licensing, statistical, and policy purposes.
Do I need to register with this SSIC code?
Every business entity registered with ACRA must select at least one SSIC code that best describes its principal economic activity. You can declare up to two codes — one primary and one secondary — via BizFile+.
