In 1995, Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal was constructed. The terminal got a S$3 million refurbishment in 2007 to enhance the area and better serve its patrons.
Regional ferries now use 4 berths to travel to the following locations south and east of Singapore: Batam Centre, Batam and Telok Sebong (Bintan Resorts), Bintan.
Additionally, the port acts as the main entryway to other islands like as Pulau Lobam, Tanjung Pinang, Bintan Resort, Batam Nongsapura, and Malaysia Pengelih.
The two-way shuttle service from Changi Airport to the terminal is available for travelers who want to visit Bintan. There are pickup locations at Terminals 2 and 4.
In addition to being a convenient method to go by ferry to surrounding Indonesian islands, it acts as a small access point for vessels entering and leaving Singapore.
2. Horizon Fast Ferry
Prior to the introduction of modern, quick, pleasant ships, Horizon Fast Ferry was known as Prima Ferries.
The majority of Horizon’s daily crossings take place between eight in the morning and nine in the evening. With the tagline “Horizon, your comfort choice,” Horizon distinguishes itself from the other ferry operators in the area rather than simply aiming to compete on price. They also place a strong emphasis on the comfort of their customers.
The Horizon ferries can carry 240 passengers, comprising 208 passengers in standard class on the main deck, 30 passengers in upper business class, and 4 passengers in a VIP room.
