Bintan Lagoon Resort is to open its very own
ferry terminal and ferry services this year. The project, expected
to be operational by June 2010, is costing the resort Sin$ 15
million.
The Bintan Lagoon Ferry Service will be made up of a fleet of two
catamarans, one seating up to 150 passengers and the other seating
up to 250 passengers, operating from Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal.
Those requiring a little more exclusivity will also have the
option of arriving at the resort via a VIP boat, with a seating
capacity of 30 passengers. Ferry pricing and booking details have
not yet been confirmed.
Upon approaching the shores of Bintan Lagoon
Resort, tourists will be greeted by a towering, iconic structure
which forms the link bridge to the ferry terminal in the resort,
conceptualised by Shafee Sajari of Acid Singapore, a Singapore
based firm specializing in lifestyle, hospitality and retail
designs. The 65-metre long bridge, designed to be serpentine in
character, is a salute to nature with sides of the bridge opening
up to allow sea breeze onto the bridge. The tall and airy bridge
entrance will taper off at the immigration point, forming a screen
for secure entry into the building.
The Bintan Lagoon Ferry Terminal spans 1251
square metres in floor area and is expected to be fully
operational with immigration facilities for incoming and outgoing
tourists, baggage handling, seating area and a duty-free shop.
Immigration facilities have been designed in a smooth flowing
layout to enable seamless entry and exit for the guests, where
checkpoints, baggage belts and security checks are strategically
positioned. A VIP desk will be available at the terminal to
facilitate entry and exit for guests requiring exclusivity.
