MARINA Bay Cruise Centre Singapore has begun a major refurbishment project to improve the check-in and embarkation experience for travellers.
In what will be the first major upgrade to the facility since its 2012 opening, the S$40 million (A$48m) project will include a new check-in area, lounges and passenger waiting areas.
Vacant land in front of the terminal will also be converted into a larger ground transport area with more spaces for buses, taxis and rideshare operators.
The refurbishment will better equip the facility to handle larger ships and dual-ship calls, with Marina Bay’s forecast showing pax numbers are set to climb from 6,800 to 11,700 per year.
The nine-month upgrade comes after terminal operator SATS-Creuers had its contract extended by eight years with an option for another two, putting it in charge of the facility through to 2037.
