Marina South Pier and Cruise Centre

Today's lunch walkabout led me to Marina South Pier.


This is probably one of the most "ulu" MRT station in Singapore. Except for the station control master, I didn't see anyone else in the train station.


The MRT exit to the Marina Bay Cruise Centre and its surroundings.

 




Directional signs indicated this was a 500 metres walkway.


Along the way, it was quite scenic and there were a few fishermen trying their luck in the scorching sun :)




I guess you could try to grow rice here if you're desperate enough.


A distant view of the Cruise Centre. Looks like a cruise ship doesn't it?


The front or rear (stern?) of the cruise centre. Is the hole supposed to represent a swimming pool?


This was the warning sign posted at the hole. So I guess I can try to take a dip next time?


Before this gets replaced by another shopping centre, the field looks like a good place to fly a quad or a heli here when the ground is dry.


Right-side (starboard?) side of the Cruise Centre.



Close-up of the terminal fenders/bollards (?)


Loved the sea-nery.




More fishing.



The cruise centre itself was pretty boring though. It seemed so... desolate.





As there were no ships berthed at that time, I couldn't get in to explore further.


So I walked back to the Marina South Pier and its ferry boats.



For those old enough will recognise this riverboat, which used to be at Sentosa.


 



The pier's second floor had a maritime gallery, but due to time constraints, I didn't go in.



And on the top floor, you can get a bird's eye view of the pier and its surroundings.
