TheMarina South Pier MRT station (pictured) will start operations on 23 November.

Running on the North-South Line, it will serve Marina Bay Cruise Centre Singapore, Marina South Pier, and future developments in the Marina Bay Downtown area.

The MRT station is a one kilometer-long extension of the existing North-South Line that runs southwards after the Marina Bay station.

On weekday mornings, train service to the Marina South Pier station will run at around eight 8 to 12-minute intervals during peak hours. On weekends and public holidays, it will be at 15-minute intervals.

Train frequencies will be improved when there are cruise ships calling at the cruise centre, and during the annual Kusu Pilgrimage season which is generally between September and November.

Construction of the station started in 2009 and was completed this year. The Land Transport Authority (LTA) and SMRT have been carrying out train testing over the last three months.

Philippine ship damage, injury to crew 'irresponsible behaviour', says US Defense Secretary
Damage to Philippine vessels and injuries to their crew in the South China Sea is "irresponsible behaviour" in disregard of international law, U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said on Thursday, weighing in on the latest flare-up involving China. Manila and Beijing have traded barbs almost daily since Tuesday's confrontation at the disputed Scarborough shoal, where China's coast guard used water cannon against to two vessels from the Philippines, prompting outrage from its government. "We've been very clear to everyone, to include Beijing, that the kind of behaviour that we've seen, where Filipino crews are put in danger... sailors have been injured and property damaged, that is irresponsible behaviour," Austin told a joint press conference in Hawaii.
