Kusu Pilgrimage Season 2021

04 Oct 2021 / Singapore

The 2021 Kusu Pilgrimage season will commence on 6 Oct 2021 and end on 4 Nov 2021.

During this period, ferries carrying passengers operated by Singapore Island Cruise & Ferry Services Pte Ltd will cross the East Keppel Fairway when plying between the Marina South Pier (MSP) and Kusu Island (Pulau Tembakul).

Mariners shall keep a proper lookout for these craft and navigate with extra caution when in the vicinity of the recommended routes.

The traffic movement within MSP has been divided in two routes. All ferries and harbour craft shall use the recommended routes. The waters within the breakwater MSP are “no wake zone”, harbour craft and ferries operating within the waters of MSP are reminded to slow down as far as practicable to reduce causing wakes.

Masters of ferries and harbour craft shall proceed at a safe speed and navigate with caution when approaching MSP and Kusu Island jetties.

The following buoys were laid to aid in the safe navigation of ferries approaching and leaving Kusu Jetty. Ferries shall keep within the channel demarcated by the Kusu Buoy (Fl (2) R10s) and the yellow polyethylene channel buoys.
