Singapore Cruise Centre

Singapore Cruise Centre

The Singapore Cruise Centre (abbrev: SCC; Chinese: 新加坡邮轮中心) is a cruise terminal located in the south of Singapore in the vicinity of HarbourFront and in Keppel Harbour. Built in 1991 by the then Port of Singapore Authority and upgraded in 1998 by Port of Singapore Authority, it comprises two terminals, namely the International Passenger Terminal (IPT), and the Regional Ferry Terminal (RFT). The Singapore Cruise Centre Pte Ltd took over management of the centre on 1 April 2003 when PSA Corporation divested its non-core businesses.

Today, the centre handles a throughput of over 7 million cruise and ferry passengers a year, of which about 950,000 are cruise passengers.

Facilities

The RFT has six berths and caters to maritime traffic to the nearby destinations of Batam and the Karimun islands of Indonesia, as well as the islands of West Coast Peninsular Malaysia, namely Tanjung Balai.

The IPT handles international cruise ships, and has two berths of 310 metres and 270 metres with a height limit of 52 metres. With a draft of 12 metres, it can handle most of the largest cruise ships in operation today. It underwent an upgrade in 2005 to improve on its passenger handling facilities.

Expansion

The existing terminals at HarbourFront will be renovated in 2008 to optimize the use of available space. The entire level 2 will be a restricted area, for the exclusive use of cruise and ferry passengers who have cleared immigration and security. Within this area, there will be new and more exciting retail and F&B outlets. There will also be ample seats within this restricted area and features to please the five senses (i.e. calming water, music, greenery/landscape, cooler airflow etc) for greater passenger comfort. Once the re-configuration is complete, we can expect smoother processes and passengers can look forward to more stress-free and seamless travel.
