Part 5/9:
Alongside the bustling port, the tour reveals Singapore’s numerous secret islands, often overlooked but vital parts of the nation’s maritime landscape. From Pulau Bukom, home to an off-limits refinery, to Pulau Sebarok, a stop for ships to refuel—and soon, to adopt greener fuels—the islands reveal Singapore’s strategic energy and logistics hubs.
The Stories of the Islands: From Pirates to Marine Parks
Singapore’s islands aren’t just functional—they carry rich histories and ecological significance. The Sisters’ Islands are steeped in legend, named after two sisters who chose to drown together rather than face pirates. Today, they form Singapore’s first marine park, dedicated to conservation and education.
