Marina South Pier

Marina South Pier is a pier that is located in Marina South, Singapore. It is used as a terminal for tourists and day-trippers who are boarding small boats and ferries heading for the Southern Islands. There are regular ferries from the pier to Kusu Island and Saint John's Island.Marina South Pier was first announced in January 2004, to act as a landing point for ship's crews in place of Clifford Pier. Covering an area of 92,000 square feet , the pier was intended to be the first of four ferry terminals at Marina South, and to make way for the conversion of Marina Bay into a reservoir. The pier commenced operations in April 2006, but due to poor transport connections and lack of development in the vicinity, boat operators at the pier initially fared poorly, while efforts by the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore to publicise the pier had little effect. Marina South Pier was subsequently officially opened in June 2006, and played host to an open house showcasing careers in the maritime industry to students. In 2012, a 1,000 square metres , S$5 million Singapore Maritime Gallery was opened at the pier, while businesses at the pier continued to do poorly as of 2013.
