AVA operates two fishery ports at Jurong and Senoko. They provide 24-hour service daily to foreign and local fishing vessels for bunkering, discharging and transhipment of fish. The fishing ports enforce the Wholesome Meat and Fish Act, and its subsidiary legislation and the Fisheries Act and its subsidiary legislation in respect of marketing and fishing harbour activities. The ports also house the wholesale fish markets whereby buyers can buy fish wholesale in bulk.
The non-regulatory functions such as maintenance of cleanliness and sanitation of the port and wholesale market have been best sourced to the managing agent M/s United Premas Pte Ltd with effect from 1st November 2005.

SFP serves as a home base for the local fishing fleet of 20 off-shore and 49 in-shore fishing vessels. The facilities available include a 180 metre-long jetty, a fish wholesale market, shops, canteen and office units for the convenience of the fishing community, as well as a computerised water-batching system for the dispensing of potable water to fishing vessels.
There are 25 AVA-licensed fish merchants based at SFP, handling about 15000 tonnes of fish per annum. About half of this comprises supply landed by local fish trawlers, in-shore vessels, kelongs and fish farms, while the rest of the fish are imported.
SFP's fish wholesale market houses 36 market lots of 40 sq metres each. The business transactions take place daily from 0200 hrs to 0600 hrs, except on Monday mornings when the market is closed. Some 700 to 1000 fish retailers, fish processors and institutional buyers come daily to purchase fish.
