Jurong Island

Even as the Singapore Essential Chemicals Complex was expanding on Pulau Ayer Merbau and parts of Pulau Seraya, a parallel development was taking place in the shape of the Jurong Island.

The Singapore government amalgamated the seven southern offshore islands including Pulau Ayer Merbau, into a large energy and chemicals park through landfill and reclamation.

The amalgamated islands were linked to the mainland by a road link at the end of March 1999.

These developments will considerably enhance the core position of the expanded Singapore Essential Chemicals Complex while allowing the Complex to benefit from the extensive infrastructure synergies which will result from the formation of this large island.
