Direct staff to study ways to regulate loud Port industry noise
In Plain English
Marina Bay residents complain that Port industries operate around the clock with loud shipments of coal and industrial oils. The noise has grown worse over 2 years as rail traffic and shipments increased dramatically. If approved, staff returns in December with options to regulate the noise through the city's noise law or Port lease conditions.
