HarbourFront Centre will cease operations on July 27, according to a Facebook post released by the mall on June 20. The Singapore Cruise Centre is relocating to 5 HarbourFront Avenue on July 15, while Batam Fast Ferry will begin operations at the new terminal on July 7.
How will ferry services be affected by the move?
Ferry and cruise operations will experience a phased transition to the new terminal located just 70 meters from the current site. Batam Fast Ferry is scheduled to be the first operator to begin service from the new location on July 7.
According to a statement released by the Singapore Cruise Centre on June 15, all other ferry operators and cruise services will move to the new terminal on July 15. This move includes services to Indonesian destinations such as Batam Centre, Harbour Bay, Sekupang, Tanjung Balai Karimun, Gold Coast, and Nirup Island.
The Singapore Cruise Centre confirmed that no changes will be made to ferry routes, destinations served, or existing schedules. Additionally, the ferry and cruise berth locations will remain unchanged despite the relocation of the terminal building.
What is the future plan for the HarbourFront Centre site?
Mapletree Investments, the owner of the property, previously announced the closure as part of a plan to redevelop the area. The 123,000 sq m site will be transformed into a 33-storey mixed-use building featuring office and retail spaces.
The redevelopment project aims for completion by the first half of 2031. A central feature of the new development will be a 13,000 sq m elevated park situated next to a new waterfront promenade.
To support the Greater Southern Waterfront’s focus on sustainable commuting, the new building will include bicycle parking and end-of-trip facilities. These amenities are designed to integrate the site with the regional coastal cycling network.
