Singapore Cruise Centre: History

For almost 200 years, Singapore has traditionally been a port of call for cargo and trading ships. When Sir Stamford Raffles founded Singapore in 1819 and subsequently established it as a trading post for the British East India Company, passenger ships also began to call at the island. Steamers operated mail services from India to Hong Kong via Singapore, many of them with commercial rates for the conveyance of passengers.

Today, the Singapore Cruise Centre (SCC) has become a familiar name for many international cruise ships which call here regularly. The SCC was developed by PSA Corporation Limited, (formerly the Port of Singapore Authority) at a cost of S$50 million in 1991 and upgraded in 1998 at S$22.5 million. The SCC comprises three terminals - the International Passenger Terminal (IPT), Regional Ferry Terminal (RFT) and the Domestic Ferry Terminal (DFT) which cater for international, regional and domestic seaborne travel, respectively.

On 26 Aug 95, the Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal was build at a cost of S$28.6 million to cater for regional traffic to Bintan and other ferry destinations on the eastern coast of Peninsular Malaysia.

Following its divestment from PSA Corporation on 1 April 2003, these passenger terminals are now managed by Singapore Cruise Centre Pte Ltd.
