Ferry Service Between Tanah Merah and Desaru Coast Sets Sail

(07 July 2022, 11:13 +07)  Desaru Link Ferry Services, a subsidiary of Batam Fast Ferry, has commenced passenger ferry services connecting Singapore’s Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal with Desaru Coast Ferry Terminal in Malaysia.

For the next few months, Batam Fast will operate one round trip service per day from Thursday to Sunday, though this will be extended to include Monday, 11 July as demand for the Hari Raya Haji long weekend is strong.
