Marina Bay Cruise Centre Singapore
cruise terminal in Singapore
The Marina Bay Cruise Centre Singapore (MBCCS) is a cruise terminal in Singapore, located at Marina South. The construction of the S$500 million terminal began in October 2009 and was completed on 22 May 2012. It received its first ship, the Voyager of the Seas, on 26 May 2012. The official opening ceremony of MBCCS was held on 22 October that year.
The terminal is operated by SATS-Creuers Cruise Services (a joint venture of SATS Ltd and Creuers del Port de Barcelona). The Singapore Cruise Centre at HarbourFront is set to be consolidated with MBCCS to form a cruise hub as the leisure cruise sector continues to grow in Singapore.
History
The impetus for construction came from difficulties many cruise operators had with the current Singapore Cruise Centre which is in a narrow channel with a dead end. The geographical limitations of the site impose height and berth limits on the cruise operators. The new location at Marina South has deep waters, a large turning basin, and no height restrictions, which enables it to accommodate the largest cruise ships being built now.
On 18 March 2009, the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) and Singapore Tourism Board (STB) revealed the cruise terminal's design.
