The Singapore Cruise Centre (abbrev: SCC; Chinese: 新加坡邮轮中心) is a cruise terminal located in the south of Singapore next to HarbourFront Centre in the vicinity of HarbourFront and in Keppel Harbour, near HarbourFront MRT station.
History
SCC was built in 1991 by the Port of Singapore Authority (PSA).[1] In 1998, it was upgraded at the cost of $23 million.[2] It comprises two terminals, namely the International Passenger Terminal (IPT), and the Regional Ferry Terminal (RFT).Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
The Singapore Cruise Centre Pte Ltd, which is owned by PSA, took over management of the centre on 1 April 2003 when PSA Corporation divested its non-core businesses.[3]
Additionally, SCC manages 2 other ferry terminals; Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal and Pasir Panjang Ferry Terminal.[4] In total, SCC handles a throughput of over 7 million cruise and ferry passengers a year, of which about 950,000 are cruise passengers.
The existing terminals at HarbourFront were renovated in 2008 to optimize the use of available space. The entire level 2 is a restricted area, for the exclusive use of cruise and ferry passengers who have cleared immigration and security.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
In 2013, SATS planned to buy over SCC for S$110 million. The acquisition plan was terminated in 2014.[4]
In 2016, fully owned subsidiary SCC Travel Services Pte Ltd (STS) was formed to inspire travel to the destinations connected to its terminal network. STS is a B2C online travel agent retailing travel products from Bintan, Batam, Karimun and Singapore through its portal WOW Getaways.
In 2024, it was announced that SCC would be closed and merged with the expanded Marina Bay Cruise Centre to free up space along the Greater Southern Waterfront.[5]
