One°15 Marina Sentosa Cove to offer 24/7 immigration clearance from September

Promotional pricing for the service will be offered during the first six months.

Boaters at One°15 Marina Sentosa Cove will soon be able to clear immigration at any time of day or night, starting from September 1. This is the first marina in Singapore to offer round-the-clock Customs, Immigration, and Quarantine (CIQ) clearance, providing greater flexibility for pleasure craft and yachts arriving in or departing from the island.

One°15 Marina Sentosa Cove, a subsidiary of SUTL Enterprise, announced the development on August 19, stating that the new service was made possible through collaboration with the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) to establish the required operational arrangements and security measures. The move is aimed at ensuring a smoother and more efficient clearance experience for boaters, while maintaining Singapore's border security.

According to the marina, this enhancement comes at a "particularly opportune time," with growing regional boating activity in Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia. The 24/7 CIQ clearance service will be offered at promotional pricing for the first six months following the launch. James Roy, senior marina director of One°15 Marina Sentosa Cove, expressed gratitude for ICA's support in facilitating the necessary arrangements for the improved clearance services for Singapore's boating community.

The marina, which offers yacht berthing, boutique hotel accommodations, dining, events, and lifestyle facilities, sees the launch of the 24/7 CIQ service as a significant step forward for both the marina and the boating community.
