Singapore’s regional ferry terminals play an important role to facilitate regional travels between Singapore and the region. The domestic ferry terminals provide for services to anchorages as well as nearby islands. While there is expected to be sufficient passenger handling capacities at the regional and domestic terminals in the near term, there is a need for future growth demand and supply capacities to be studied and planned for. In light of the recent population White Paper published by the Government, MPA is conducting a study to update the projected demand for domestic and regional passenger throughputs, review the overall ferry terminal operating landscape, and further optimize the terminal and land take usage. This is to ensure that adequate transport infrastructure could be planned for and built ahead of future anticipated demands. MPA is also reviewing the market structure of the ferry terminal sector, i.e. the optimal number of operator/s publicly licensed to operate the various ferry terminals in the medium to long term. This is to ensure that the operator model continues to serve the interests of the consumers in terms of competitive price and service levels while allowing the operator(s) to maintain independent financial viability.
MVA has been awarded the project by MPA, and SimPlus is working together with the MVA team, contributing its expertise in assessing the ferry terminal layouts by applying its Passenger Terminal Simulation (PTS) as well as conducting the Formal Safety Assessment (FSA) for the marine approaches to the terminals, to ensure safety of navigation in future.
MVA is a global transportation specialist and leading market research consultancy specializing in traffic engineering and transport planning and operations. Working closely with governments, NGOs, operators, financial institutions, developers, architects, planners, engineers and contractors, in both public and private sectors, MVA is experienced in providing consultancy services from initial concept stages, through to planning, feasibility, design and construction.
