The docks and terminals (services and amenities), embarking and disembarking, how to get around for cruisers to Singapore

By: Editor-in-Chief Updated: May 23, 2023

Singapore is both a major port of call and also a home (Embarkation-Disembarkation) port for cruises in the South East Asia itineraries. The city-state has two cruise ports and terminals.

As a rule of thumb, small and mid-sized cruise ships dock at the International Passenger Terminal , whilst larger ships dock at the Marina Bay Cruise Centre aka as MBCCS.

The International Passenger Terminal in Singapore Cruise Port

The International Passenger Terminal (IPT) is located on the western south shore of the city-state less than 3 miles (4.5 km) from the city’s downtown (with a population of 5.8 million). This terminal (IPT) is located next to the VivoCity shopping mall and right across the Sentosa Island, a major attraction of Singapore. Singapore Cruise Website: www.singaporecruise.com.sg

The Pier and Berths in the International Passenger Terminal

The International Passenger Terminal has one L shaped pier perpendicular to the coastline with 2 berths where two cruise ships can dock. Do not be confused with the Regional Ferry Terminal (RFT) next to it.

Cruise travelers will find a very well kept terminal building many times referred to as HarbourFront Passenger Terminal, where you will find all basic services and amenities.

Once you walk down the gangway into the pier, there is one exit gate to the terminal. The exit gates are at no more than 500 feet (150 meters) from the gangway.

Pier and Berths in Marina Bay Cruise Centre

There is one long pier on Marina Bay which is perpendicular to the coastline with two berths for two cruise ships. This is where large ships of up to 220,000 GMT and up to 360 meters (1,181 feet) in length dock. However, small ships of cruise lines like Azamara, Seabourn or Silversea also dock at the Marina Bay Cruise Center.

Cruise travelers will find in the port one modern cruise terminal on two levels where you will find all basic services and amenities.

Singapore is a major Home Port with most cruise ships Embarking and Disembarking passengers in the city-state for the start and/or end of cruises in South East Asia.

Cruise travelers that have never been in Singapore before should consider flying to Singapore at least 2 days before the cruise to explore the many attractions of the city.

Transportation to and from the Airport to or from the Cruise Terminals in Singapore is affordable, fast and efficient. Uber has been the Editor's choice but there taxis, public buses and the MRT have excellent connections. Check the Changi Airport Transportation Website Page for more details .

Monthly Climate Averages for Singapore

Sightseeing:

Singapore is a small country on a small island, but with over four million people it's a fairly crowded city. The center of the city - consisting roughly of Orchard, the Riverside and a chunk of Chinatown - is known in acronym-loving Singapore as the CBD (Central Business District).

• Riverside - (also known as Civil District); Museums, statues and theaters, not to mention restaurants, bars and clubs.
• Orchard Road - Miles and miles of shopping malls.
• Bugis and Kampong Glam - Bugis and Kampong Glam are Singapore's old Malay district, now largely taken over by mall-shopping, although Arab Street in the Kampong Glam area is well worth a visit for its eclectic mix of unique shops and restaurants.
• Chinatown - The area originally designated for Chinese settlement by Stamford Raffles. Now a Cantonese enclave in predominantly Hokkien Singapore.
• Little India - A piece of India to the north of the city core.
• Balestier, Newton, Novena and Toa Payoh - Budget accommodations and Burmese temples within striking distance of the center.
• North and West - The northern and western parts of the island, also known as Woodlands and Jurong respectively, form Singapore's residential and industrial hinterlands.
• East Coast - The largely residential eastern part of the island contains Changi Airport and many famous eateries. Katong is located in the East Coast and is famous for its Peranakan food, such as laksa. Joo Chiat has some well-restored Peranakan houses with characteristic intricate architecture. Also consists of Geylang Serai, the true home of Singapore's Malays.
• Sentosa - A separate island developed into a resort, Sentosa is the closest that Singapore gets to Disneyland.
• A relatively short journey takes one to the Marina Bay area and in particular, the Marina Bay laser-light show. This occurs twice-nightly and is an attraction that draws thousands of people, both on the river-boats or sitting and standing on the beautiful esplanade which faces the bay. Here is the famous Singapore ‘ Merlion ’ and the surrounding area of the Bay is a mass of colour.

Tours Excursions Transportation:

Explore Singapore via the public transport system with The Singapore Tourist Pass . Designed to give tourists the best value and ease of travel, the STP is available as 1 - Day, 2 - Day or 3- Day passes at only S$10 per day. It comes with a rental deposit of S$10 which is fully refundable if the card is returned within 5 days of issuance. If you plan to make 4 or more uses of the excellent and easy to use public transportation it is worthwhile.

Singapore City Hop-on Hop-off Tour What better way to zip about town to visit the places of interest than on the SIA Hop-on bus? Visitors can get unlimited air-conditioned rides that will take them to over 20 of the most popular attractions in the City. The bus will stop at major shopping malls and hotels such as Raffled City, Singapore Botanic Garden and Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay as well as ethnic enclaves like Chinatown, Little India and Arab Street. Passengers can get on and off whenever they want. Take a cab to the nearest stop.

Over 15,000 air-conditioned cabs ply local roads and provide comfortable, hassle-free travel at a very reasonable cost. All taxis are metered and honest. When it rains, do not expect to flag down a taxi.

Trishaws, three-wheeled bicycle taxis, haunt the area around the Singapore River and Chinatown. Geared purely for tourists, they aren't really recommended for serious travel and locals do not use them. There is little room for bargaining: short rides will cost $10-20 and an hour's sightseeing charter about $50 per person.

Classic walks in Singapore include walking down the river from the Merlion through the Quays, or just strolling around Chinatown, Little India or Bugis.

For spectacular views take a ride on the Singapore Flyer , an enormous Ferris Wheel, that is as high as a 70 story building.

It pays to compare your cruise line tours here .

Nearby Places:

Shopping and food.

Located next to the Singapore Cruise center is Vivo City, the largest multi-experiential retail and lifestyle destination in Singapore, featuring about 450 outlets.

Singapore enjoys a reputation as a shoppers paradise, with no import duty or sales tax on most items. The famous shopping area is along Orchard Road, but the more colorful, ethnic shops are found in the sectors of Little India, Arab Street and Chinatown. Handicrafts, cloisonne ware, antique porcelain, jewelry and framed silk tapestries may be some of the items you may want to consider buying. Bargaining is an accepted practice in smaller shops and markets, while prices in more upscale shops and department stores are fixed.

Chewing gum absolutely not allowed! Drinking and eating on public transport strictly prohibited! Not even water!

The local currency is the Singapore dollar. ATMs are ubiquitous in Singapore and credit cards are widely accepted (although shops often levy a 3% surcharge, and taxis a whopping 15%).

If you arrive by cruise ship from another country you will have to declare the amount of cigarettes you have with you and will be taxed accordingly. For a carton: Euro 46 or U.S. $68, if you do not: expect a 20 times higher fine! They will not tell you this in the ship's tax free stores.

Hi All   I am considering a cruise on Millie - Sing to HK.   I always confuse myself, Port or Starboard or does it not matter ??   Thanks   Annie

Probably doesn't matter .

treasureisland

We have just got back from our Singapore to Hong Kong Cruise aboard the Millenium. We booked a port side cabin but I think you would be better with starboard as we didn't get much of a view in Singapore or Hong Kong from our balcony. Also the sun did not get on our balcony until 2.30 to 3.00pm.Suppose it depends if you want the sun!! We had a view looking out at the terminal building in Singapore and likewise in Hong Kong. Hope you have a fab cruise. Cheers Anne

This thread is of interest to me. :)

We are booked on the 2/25/17 cruise. We have a Starboard stateroom AQ1 with the barely covered balcony. What is the weather like for this cruise in February?

Iamthesea - The weather will be either fine or terrible. February historically is nice but who knows a year ahead or even tomorrow.

We've done this a few times on a different cruise line. It really does not matter.

We chose aft - then no worries either way ;).

What is considered "nice". I have no idea what to pack for clothing. :rolleyes:

Are temps usually warm, cool or cold in February? Areas mostly rainy or fair?

I am more concerned about having the proper clothes. We know that when we cruise in the spring and fall to Europe to expect mostly cool temps with the exception of a few ports.

This thread is of interest to me. :)   We are booked on the 2/25/17 cruise. We have a Starboard stateroom AQ1 with the barely covered balcony. What is the weather like for this cruise in February?

You go from steaming hot (Singapore) up to Bright but chilly (Hong Kong) - Northern Vietnam similar to HKG. If you stop in Thailand, it is also very hot and humid similar to Singapore. Rain most likely in Singapore.

Hong Kong is often assumed by many to be hot year round. That is definitely not the case and can get cold in the winter months but rare to get really cold as in frost. Many a time I flew from where I was based (Singapore and Bangkok) for business meetings and completely forgot about the weather difference. Frequently ended up shivering waiting for the airport express to head downtown. It has seasonal weather changes that are quite noticeable. Keep in mind the start of the cruise is 2500km away from the destination. similar distance to Miami to Toronto.

Thank you. Very helpful! Saving your post a file. :)

We will also be on a Sydney to Auckland cruise, ending a week before the Singapore to Hong Kong cruise. Doing something landside during that week before flying to Singapore. :eek:

Sounds like with the European cruises, we will pack for both types of weather and take layers.

Hello. We too have just returned from this cruise, joining the Millennium on the 14th February.

We were actually in an aft cabin ourselves so had a good view of both sides. In port, the starboard was perhaps the better, certainly in HK.

As for the weather and the places we visited:

Singapore - hot , hot, hot and sunny

Bangkok - hot, sunny and humid

Ho Chi Min and area - hot and humid

Hoi An - hot and sunny

Halong Bay - COLD and damp! Oh goodness, what a shock! Take jumpers and waterproof jackets!

Hong Kong - it had been cold, but turned on our arrival and quite pleasant. Be prepared for changing weather.

A lovely cruise.

Thank you. I really like cool over hot and humid. :( My hair and skin do too!

What is a jumper? I take a Miramar waterproof jacket and with layers underneath, I stay toasty. ;)

  What is a jumper?

They are not referring to you smuggling in a joey :D - a sweater to you, a jumper on this side of the pond :).

Good to see some supporting evidence for what I suggested LOL. Take layers and a rain coat/umbrella. Most times I used to miss my own advice :confused:

A very wise choice.

anniegb - Did you sign up for the cruise? Is it the same date as mine? I think there is a Roll Call, but I have not been active, as yet.

:)   anniegb - Did you sign up for the cruise? Is it the same date as mine? I think there is a Roll Call, but I have not been active, as yet.

I am at looking at different dates in 2016.

However I think I will be on the Feb Solstice to NZ - my godson's wedding is later in the month.

Thanks for this.

I view packing for cruising similar to holidaying in N Europe - prepare for 4 seasons in the one day.

Hello Iamthesea and Anniegb, we are also booked on the same cruise.

Anniegb you are right, our Roll Call is not very active and I learned more in this present short discussion (about weather to be expected) than in our whole Roll Call.

Iamthesea, I agree about the AQ1 deck 11 side balconies; that's the reason why we preferred a covered deck 9 AQ2 balcony. See you at the Blu!

Before someone mentions it to us, we should continue this discussion in the Roll Call thread and start talking about shore excursions and our pre and post cruise plans!

Hi vivi9909

I am NOT booked on any Millie cruise in 2017.

I am at looking at different dates in 2016.   However I think I will be on the Feb Solstice to NZ - my godson's wedding is later in the month.   Annie

I see. I thought the 2016 Asian cruises were over. Shows you what I know. :rolleyes:

I have a couple of more cruises to plan before I get to the 2017 cruises. Maybe I will check the Roll Call out in June. Looking forward to meeting you, too! ;)

95% of the time the only view is the ocean anyway. It really comes down to - would you like direct sun in the morning or in the evening. If you want morning sun - Starboard. If you want sun in the late afternoon/evening - Port.

Keep in mind the start of the cruise is 2500km away from the destination. similar distance to Miami to Toronto.

HK is in the sub tropics and its coldest month is Jan with an average temp of 16C/61F which is far from cold or even chilly IMO, its close in Latitude to Hawaii actually. The worst months there are July and August when its hot and the humidity is off the charts....

Yes, definitely take layers for NZ. Even in mid-summer it can be very cool when cruising through Fiordland. On our Christmas cruise around NZ we had 30C (86F) in Akaroa, then 14C (57F) with a cold southerly wind blowing in Dunedin the next day. It felt even colder the following day when we went through Fiordland - my warm hat and gloves were very welcome.

FloridaGirlLovesToCruise

We are sailing Feb. 11, 2017 on the Millennium from Hong Kong to Singapore. Is it still better to be on the starboard side? We are in cabin 7160 on the starboard side. Thanks for the info regarding the weather.

Do I need the Celebrity Cruises app if I've already checked-in online?

Yes, your app allows you to access your digital boarding pass, complete a required health questionaire, and begin the required safety briefing (Muster 2.0). It's also a great resource while you cruise to help you manage your itinerary and experiences like shore excursions, as well as chat with other guests on your reservation. If you have app notifications enabled, you can also receive essential cruise travel updates and emergency messaging.

What is the Health Questionnaire and how do I complete it?

The health questionnaire is part of our online check-in process and can be completed in the app or on our website. Guests will be asked whether or not they are fully vaccinated against Covid-19, whether they have received a vaccine booster, whether they have entered or passed their 23rd week of pregnancy, and if they have any specific symptoms in the last 24 hours. These questions help us ensure the safety of our guests, crew, and the communities that we visit.

What is Muster 2.0?

Muster is an important, mandatory safety breifing in which guests are educated to emergency protocols onboard.

If I check in online can I view my Xpress Boarding Pass on the mobile app?

Yes, so there is no need to print one out on sail day. Your mobile Xpress Pass is accessible via your account.

Can I add my boarding pass to Apple Wallet, Samsung Pay, or Google Wallet?

You can add your boarding pass to Apple Wallet. Samsung Pay and Google Wallet are not available yet.

Can more than one guest check in at a time on the Celebrity Cruises app?

For check-in, it’s one guest on the reservation at a time. However, one guest can check in everyone on the same reservation. Be sure to have all passports and travel documents handy.

How do I check in children on another reservation using the Celebrity Cruises app?

You must be at least 21 years old to add children. Link your reservation to the child’s reservation on the app - you'll need the child’s name, reservation number, and stateroom number - and then complete check-in for the child..

Do I have to provide a photo during online check-in?

No, you can choose whether or not to provide a photo during the online check-in process. If you do not provide a photo during online check-in, you will be asked to take a photo at the port before boarding the ship. This photo will be used for your Seapass account and security purposes onboard.

What languages are available for check-in?

Check-in on the app is available in English, Simplified Chinese, and Spanish. Spanish, Portuguese, and English are available on Celebrity.com's check-in experience.

How far in advance can I check in on the Celebrity cruises app?

You can check in on the app between 45 days and the morning of your sail day. Once you're outside that window, you can check in at the terminal on your sail day.

*App not available on Celebrity Flora, Celebrity Xploration or Celebrity Xpedition.

Am I required to set up an onboard expense account during check-in?

Yes, all purchases and services must be paid for using an onboard expense account. One account may be used for everyone in the group or individuals can set up their own accounts.

How do I change my onboard expense account payment method?

You are required to add a credit card to complete check-in. For your convenience, you can update the credit card associated with your account in the Celebrity Cruises app. You can also change your payment method online, at the check-in counter on your sail day, or onboard at Guest Relations.

What happens if my battery dies on my mobile device at the pier so I can't access my Xpress Pass?

Our check-in counter staff at the terminal will be happy to look up your reservation.

Do I have an option to upload a photo from my mobile device in addition to taking a photo?

The choice is yours - either take one with your phone during check-in or browse to a photo saved to your device.

Are there any specifications/restrictions/requirements for the type of picture I can take when I check in on the app?

Just follow the guidelines you’ll see when you're checking in: No hats, no angle shots, no closing your eyes, nobody else in the photo, and smile.

What do I have to know about scanning my passport during mobile app check-in?

It’s simple. Just follow the guides you see during the check-in process. You’ll see when your passport has been scanned and accepted.

Can any guest check in on the app, regardless of travel document requirements?

Yes, if you have a reservation, but without travel documents your check-in will not be complete and you'll have to finish at the terminal.

How do I know which fields are mandatory when checking in on the app?

If you skip a field required for check-in, you’ll see a message asking you to provide information for that field when you try to continue to the next screen.

Do you have deck maps on the app?

Boarding Requirements for COVID-19 or Other Pathogens

Am I required to take a COVID-19 test or be vaccinated prior to embarking on my cruise?

All travelers are welcome to sail regardless of vaccination status and will no longer be required to provide proof of pre-departure testing to board.

As destinations around the globe adapt their health and safety protocols, we continually evaluate and update our own requirements as new information becomes available.   If you’re currently booked on a cruise vacation with us and have provided an email address, you will be advised of the latest requirements leading up to departure. Be sure to register your guest account so that we may reach you.

Are there any innoculation or vaccination needs for my sailing?

As detailed in our brochure, all guests must ensure that they are medically and physically fit for travel. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) provide guidelines as to which vaccinations are required in each country. In many cases inoculations are recommended but in some circumstances they are required. We recommend that you check with your health care professional or a Travel Medicine Specialist certified by the WHO for guidance. For certain destinations, additional vaccination for COVID-19 or other pathogens may be required.

Other informational resources can be accessed at the Centers for Disease Control  and Prevention's Traveler's Health website or toll free at 1-877-FYI-TRIP, and the World Health Organization website.

What health screening measures are being taken at the terminal on boarding day?

During check-in, you will be asked to complete a health attestation. If you attest to or show signs of a fever, cough, or fatigue, you will be directed to a secondary screening.

How do I know where the port is?

Yes we do. We have collapsible wheelchairs for our guests to use free of charge onboard each of our ships. They are on a first come, first serve basis and based on availability.

If you've already booked, log in to your Guest Account

How do I know when to get to the terminal?

During check-in, you're required to select an arrival time. One of the benefits of app check-in is that your arrival time is listed on your mobile Xpress Pass. Please arrive during your selected window to avoid delays at the terminal.

Do you offer transportation from the airport to the pier and back?

Most ports will offer for-purchase transportation to and from the pier on the day of sailing and returning. Guests will need to meet the flight parameters for airport transfers on the same day that the cruise leaves and returns to be eligible. Transfers are subject to availability but will be open for purchase up to 5 days prior to sailing.

What happens if I arrive outside of my scheduled check-in time?

Please select the best available check-in time that will work for your party. These are staggered to offer the best possible check-in experience and help us to avoid unnecessary delays in boarding. That being said, if you must arrive outside your scheduled time, please check your Guest Documents to make sure that you complete the process before the "All Aboard Time".

Can Suite Guest Get Onboard Early?

Boarding times (Embarkation) will vary according to port, itinerary, and/or ship, and may even vary by sail date due to operational situations like Coast Guard drills, etc.Guests who have completed the on-line check in, are member of our Loyalty programs, or who are reserved in Suites or Concierge Class (Celebrity) may use priority embarkation lines at the pier terminal, where available.

How do I get my luggage to my stateroom?

If you check your luggage with a porter, your checked baggage should be delivered to your stateroom within a few hours of setting sail if tagged properly.

Does Celebrity Cruises send luggage tags or should I print them?

While we no longer mail bag tags to guests, we do make them available guests electronically via Guest Account (click "View Your Documents"). That way, you can print as many as you would like prior to joining the ship. If you are unable to print your bag tag, we will have luggage tags will be available at the pier for guests who prefer to use this service at the terminal prior to boarding. It takes just a few minutes to acquire the tags and fill out your information with the porter. Please make sure you know your stateroom number and room location, as reflected on the guests XpressPass.

Will a cruise ship wait for me if I'm running late at a port stop? Here's what a captain has to say.

People considering cruising might wonder what would happen if they were running late to the ship.

In a Q&A on board Royal Caribbean's Wonder of the Seas, Captain Rob Hempstead shared what to do.

Call the ship agent if you're running late so the captain can decide if they have time to wait.

On March 27, eight travelers on a Norwegian cruise in Africa were stranded on the island nation of São Tomé and Príncipe after their private excursion arrived back at the ship more than an hour after boarding closed. The cruisers chased the ship for almost a week before reboarding in Dakar, Senegal.

More recently, on May 13, a couple sailing in the Mediterranean with the same cruise line was left stranded in Motril, Spain, after their excursion (not organized by Norwegian) had an hour bus delay getting back to the ship due to rain,  CNN reported .

On any cruise, travelers have the freedom to experience multiple destinations on one trip with port stops where they can exit the ship and explore a new place.

But cruise ships run on a tight schedule, often only allotting passengers around seven or eight hours for a one-day stop, sometimes even less. This leaves many to wonder what happens if you're running late getting back to the ship : Will the crew wait up, or will you end up stranded, chasing the ship from stop to stop?

Will the captain wait for you?

The answer is maybe.

On an April 2022 cruise on board Royal Caribbean's Wonder of the Seas , Business Insider attended a Q&A with Captain Rob Hempstead, where he answered this very question.

Hampstead, who's been a Royal Caribbean captain for two decades, started his career in Alaska's fishing industry. After 14 years of fishing, he became a captain. Before Wonder of the Seas, Hampstead served as captain of seven other Royal Caribbean ships, including Oasis of the Seas and Symphony of the Seas .

The most stressful part of a cruise for the crew is getting out of the ports on time, he said, "Because the faster we go, the more fuel we have to burn."

Some people come late, and as a result, are left behind, he added.

However, this doesn't mean he won't wait for you — you just need to know what to do.

When will a cruise ship wait for passengers.

There are two instances in which the ship will wait. The first is if you're late returning from a cruise-line organized excursion. Since the excursion is supposed to only take place within the allotted port time, the ship will wait for passengers coming from a cruise line excursion that's running late.

However, if you've spent the day independently on your own, or with a private tour company, there are certain steps you must take to avoid being stranded.

If you're behind schedule, call the ship agent to alert the cruise that you're running late, he said. On Royal Caribbean cruises, this number can be found at the bottom of Cruise Compass, a daily flyer all passengers receive in their stateroom each day detailing the day's activities.

The agent may also be referred to as a port agent, according to a copy of Cruise Compass obtained by BI.

Whether the ship can wait for you, however, will depend on how late you'll be, he added.

"If I know you're 10 minutes away, I can make an educated decision about whether or not we can wait," Hampstead said. "We will wait if we can."

Of course, if that's you, you'll have to run up the dock to the ship with many passengers watching, wondering what is holding up the departure, as they quickly realize it was you. Instead, always plan your day with ample time to return to port, or better yet, book your excursions through the cruise line.

Follow our news, recent searches, 'no plans' to merge cruise centres for now as ura, stb clarify report on consolidation, advertisement.

The Straits Times on Monday (May 13) said that Singapore Cruise Centre and Marina Bay Cruise Centre Singapore would undergo a merger in the coming years, following an interview with Urban Redevelopment Authority chief Lim Eng Hwee.

SINGAPORE: A news report announcing the merger of Singapore's two cruise centres was wide of the mark, with the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) and Singapore Tourism Board (STB) issuing a statement saying there are no plans for this to happen.

The joint clarification from URA and STB was sent to the media on Monday (May 13) night in response to a Straits Times article published earlier in the day titled "S'pore's cruise facilities to be consolidated, freeing up space along Greater Southern Waterfront".

The article, drawn from an interview with URA chief executive Lim Eng Hwee, stated that Singapore's two cruise centres would be merged in the "coming years", with the Singapore Cruise Centre, located at HarbourFront, set to move. 

The purpose of this, according to article, would be to create a continuous promenade as the government "stitch(es) up the entire waterfront" – stretching from Labrador Park to the future Long Island .

In its email on Monday night, URA and STB clarified that the headline of the article referred to "the longer-term consolidation of cruise infrastructure in Singapore, which is currently under study". 

"There are currently no plans to merge the operations of Singapore Cruise Centre with Marina Bay Cruise Centre Singapore," said the two government bodies.

URA's Mr Lim, according to the article, had said that plans to merge the cruise terminals are an example of infrastructure consolidation, which the government has used in recent years to free up land for other purposes. 

"With the port moving, there's a lot of infrastructural work that needs to be done – some reclamation, and the cruise hub will be formed as part of that," Mr Lim was quoted as saying.

"And when all the infrastructure is done, we will progressively build up the area."

In response to queries from CNA, URA said on Tuesday: "(The Straits Times) had an interview with URA CEO Mr Lim Eng Hwee as part of URA's 50th Anniversary.

"During the interview, in response to the question on how plans to expand Marina Bay Cruise Centre would affect residents in Marina South, Mr Lim had shared that as part of the plans for the Greater Southern Waterfront, the port as well as cruise infrastructure would be consolidated in the longer term."

This reflected URA's planning strategy to free up large land parcels to meet future needs and create land buffers to restructure Singapore's urban environment, the authority said.

URA noted that the Straits Times article "had originally used the word 'merge' in place of 'consolidate'".

"As the use of the word 'merge' could be misconstrued by readers to mean a merger of existing cruise terminals or existing cruise operations, which is not the case, we issued a clarification to all media and (the Straits Times) has edited their article," it said.
