From boats to buildings: Sembawang Shipyard’s final voyage
As operations wind down at Seatrium’s Admiralty Yard, CNA speaks to two long-time employees about the site’s rich maritime history and their hopes for the redevelopment.
Sembawang Shipyard, located on an 86ha site, is set to undergo redevelopment into a mixed-use waterfront precinct. The shipyard, operational since 1971, has a rich maritime history dating back to 1938 when it was built by the British as a naval base. The King George VI Dock, once the world's largest dry dock, spans 4.55 million cubic ft and is planned to be preserved in the redevelopment.
It is anticipated that the future development will include community spaces for concerts, sports, and performances, as well as waterfront homes, dining, shopping, and recreation.
