The original Ocean’s 11, from 1960 is one of the laziest movies ever. Frank Sinatra and his “rat pack” pals goof and snooze their way through a nothing movie. But Steven Soderbergh has a serious talent for smart glitzy pop filmmaking, and his sparkly 2001 remake of Ocean’s 11 is playful and witty. Soderbergh then made two more films about Danny Ocean pulling off a great heist, both good enough, and now he’s one of two producers of Ocean’s 8, which is sort of sprightly and alive, but in the way of leftovers revived in the oven more than something with original snap.
This is the women’s version of a caper film, and it does all the usual things. The moment Debby Ocean (Sandra Bullock), sister of Danny, gets out of prison, she’s already plotting to steal a $150 million diamond necklace, and at the same time to take revenge on the guy who put her in prison five years earlier. Debby lines up her crew, including Kate Blanchett and does high-tech stuff like finding an expert to outwit the surveillance systems along with another henchwoman who can make a 3-D printing of the Cartier necklace.
Women in the movies have been saying for a very long time that they can pull off as many kinds of films as can the men. Of course, but Ocean’s 8 proves mostly that women can do a remake. Bullock and Blanchett certainly handle the game as well as George Clooney and Brad Pitt, but Ocean’s 8 is still an imitation. The wit is not a surprise and the crackle feels muffled.
The great old-time Hollywood director Howard Hawks said that if something didn’t work, he’d reverse the terms – he’d play a sober scene for comedy. His best reversal was to take a newspaper story about two men – The Front Page – and make one of the characters a woman. So, His Girl Friday may use the same events as The Front Page, but the sexual tension between an editor and a reporter who were married and are now divorced made for a film twice as good and much funnier.
Ocean’s 8 doesn’t use its women to get something beyond the other Oceans movies. It’s the same old caper film. Just like its brothers, it’s got amusing choreography, clever hand-offs of the jewels, and multiple kickers at the end. The film puts Bullock and Blanchett and their gang in fancy clothing and a chi chi setting – the heist takes place at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, during a major reception for big donors. There’s a fuss over Ann Hathaway’s cleavage. So, the women of Ocean’s 8 look just like the women in the other Ocean’s movies.
Caper pictures have a lot of competition. Topkapi, The Sting or the exquisite 1955 Rififi made in France by the blacklisted American Jules Dassin. Rififi stages one of the greatest robberies in the movies – 33 tense minutes with no talk, just the sight and sound of the robbers breaking into a safe. But the guts of the picture come from what happens to each of the robbers because of pulling off the job. Oceans 8 may be crisp, but there’s nothing underneath the crisp details of the theft.

In the midst of this bloated summer blockbuster season crammed with comic book superheroes, here are your true avengers: the formidable female cast of “Ocean’s 8,” taking us on a giddy, fizzy escape while also making a pointed statement about the realities of the world in which we live.
It’s a heist flick, carrying on the tradition of Steven Soderbergh’s “Ocean’s” trilogy (Soderbergh serves as a producer this time), with all the elaborate machinations you’ve come to expect from the series. It is crime as high art—which is fitting, given that the robbery this time takes place at The Met Gala, the annual fashion extravaganza at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. It’s also the most flat-out fun movie that director and co-writer Gary Ross has made since his directorial debut, “Pleasantville,” 20 years ago. Slickly paced and radiating sexy glamour, “Ocean’s 8” moves with the swagger of a supermodel prancing down the runway.
But beneath the couture gowns and glittering jewels, the high-tech equipment and good, old-fashioned sleight of hand, “Ocean’s 8” is about the power of women standing up for themselves, sticking with each other and making the impossible happen. Years of planning and reservoirs of chutzpah certainly help, but the real reason these ladies are able to pull off this particularly daring crime in plain sight is simple: “A ‘him’ gets noticed. A ‘her’ gets ignored,” says Sandra Bullock as crew chief Debbie Ocean. “And for once, we want to be ignored.”
Bullock is coolly charismatic and totally in command in the title role, taking over as the George Clooney figure in this reimagining of the franchise. (Debbie is the estranged sister of Clooney’s late Danny Ocean, which the film addresses efficiently before moving on to the action.) After giving the performance of a lifetime to persuade the parole board to release her from prison, Debbie promptly returns to New York City and begins assembling the team she’ll need to pull off the crime she’s been planning for the past five years, eight months and 12 days.
Her first stop is Bergdorf Goodman for a dazzling bit of high-dollar shoplifting. And one of the movie’s many strengths is its use of recognizable New York locations; it grounds the film in contemporary reality and keeps it from floating off completely into the stratosphere. Besides that luxury department store, the ladies also visit the Ukrainian restaurant Veselka in the East Village, Junior’s diner in Brooklyn and, of course, The Met.
As in Soderbergh’s original “Ocean’s 11,” part of the fun of “Ocean’s 8” is watching Debbie handpick the women who will help her pull off this daring crime: stealing a one-of-a-kind, $150 million diamond Cartier necklace from the starlet who’s wearing it, right in the middle of the gala. Each brings a specific talent and energy to the team; together, they create an unpredictable, irresistible alchemy.
Bullock especially has great chemistry with Cate Blanchett as Lou, her longtime partner with whom she enjoys a smart and playfully spiky repartee. The ever-changing Blanchett is all rock-and-roll bad-assery here—but in an intriguing twist, she also serves as the voice of reason compared to Bullock’s wildly ambitious Debbie.
Together, they round up Mindy Kaling’s Amita, a jeweler who’s used to doing shady work for Debbie but nothing quite like this; con artist and petty thief Constance (actress/musician Awkwafina, whose real name is Nora Lum), who brings a youthful, streetwise edge to the crew; Sarah Paulson’s Tammy, a reliable fence trying to live a quiet life as a wife and mom in suburbia; Rihanna as a resourceful hacker who goes by the name Nine Ball and solves every tricky security challenge with a low-key confidence; and fashion designer Rose Weil (Helena Bonham Carter), whose fame and clout provide the team with access to the star-studded event, even though her days of peak popularity are well behind her.
The final player is the one who doesn’t even realize she’s been recruited: Anne Hathaway as “It Girl” actress Daphne Kluger, who’s one of the gala’s hosts and whose neck will carry that expensive piece of shiny hardware. While Awkwafina is a breath of fresh air and Carter is her delightfully odd self, Hathaway is the film’s MVP. What she’s doing here is nothing short of inspired, controlled lunacy. She’s an actress playing an actress, which is always a juicy opportunity to ham it up. But Hathaway is clearly having a blast discovering all of this character’s colors, from preening egomania to dippy girlishness to insecure fragility. She’s pulled off a theft of her own here.
The sheer brazenness of the crime in “Ocean’s 8” is enough to put a goofy smile on your face. But as is always the case in heist movies, the sustained thrill of the high-wire act comes from watching the players lay out their complex plan, then seeing whether it actually goes as smoothly as they’d hoped. Ross and co-writer Olivia Milch give each of these ladies an opportunity to shine along the way, but because they’ve amassed such a staggering lineup of talent, it makes you wish some of the supporting players had been better fleshed out. This is particularly the case with Kaling, Paulson and Awkwafina, and it’s the movie’s one real weakness.

Luann Perkins, who leads the Luann Perkins Team at William Raveis Real Estate in Niantic, is hosting a public open house at 580 Ocean Avenue, New London this Sunday, August 11, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The antique four-bedroom house is offered to the market for $499,900.
Welcome Home spoke this week with the owner, Zack Dean, about the investments he’s made in renovating the house.
Dean grew up in New London. His grandfather was a local district attorney who built the house his family now lives in. Over time, he and his wife renovated the house, drawing from his wife Erika’s experience working for a general contracting firm that specializes in disaster recoveries, he explained.
Dean was looking for a renovation project house to “flip,” when one day a friend came to him and offered him an antique piano. The piano had been his mother’s, his friend explained, and noted that he was in the process of preparing his childhood home for sale, the house where his mother raised six kids and had resided for decades. Though Dean wasn’t in the market for a piano, he was intrigued by the story of the house, and he went to take a closer look.
“I walked in and immediately knew, this was it,” he recalled.
Dean told his friend about his vision for renovating the house. They estimated the costs and negotiated a fair price. Once he owned the property, he immediately got to work on a full gut renovation.
The house is a designated New London Landmark. A Landmarks sign is on the front of the house, with the name Robert H. Comstock, who built the house in 1853. Some of the craftsmanship of the original house remains, including the staircase banister.
“We kept one original fixed window that’s at the top of the stairs, with antique hand-blown glass. It has so much movement, with a lot of wave and bubble to it,” he noted. “The cabinet fronts in the breakfast room have glass from an original built-in hutch that was there. We removed the panels and recut it.”
“There was an old three-story chimney that went through the heart of the house but no longer pierced the roof. I took that apart myself, brick by brick, and preserved some of those bricks. If you look at the photos of the breakfast bar area, the floor there is brick from that chimney,” he added.
He also restored all of the radiators, refinishing them with high-temperature paint.
Otherwise, the house is essentially brand new. It has new plumbing, new electrical systems and new Harvey-brand windows.
A foyer, living room, dining area, kitchen, butler’s pantry, a bathroom and laundry are on the first floor.
The kitchen was designed by Greenville Kitchens. It’s outfitted with Fabuwood cabinets, finished in “ocean blue,” quartz countertops, under-cabinet lighting and LG appliances.
All four bedrooms and two baths are on the second level.
The bedrooms are relatively modest in comparison to new construction today, he acknowledged. The sizes are a reflection of the period architecture; however, he said that a buyer could reconfigure the floor plan to have fewer but larger bedrooms if they’d like. Or a buyer might prefer to leverage one of the bedrooms, as is, for a home office.
Dean stressed that he didn’t approach this renovation like a typical home flipper. He wasn’t guided by the ambition to buy the house for the lowest price point, invest in minimal improvements and sell it at a premium. He wanted to make an investment in preserving a charming antique home, contribute to the neighborhood and create a home that New London can be proud of for another century.
The house is situated on a 0.26-acre lot. One side of the yard is fenced and borders Toby May Park and Playground. There’s a shed on the property, which could be used for storage of lawn and garden equipment and tools, or it could be possibly reimagined as a workshop, “she shed,” tiki bar or yoga studio.
Dean also carved out of some of the backyard for a vegetable garden. Though there’s not currently a garage on the property, he said there may be opportunity to add one, with proper permits, of course.
580 Ocean Avenue is within walking and biking distance to Ocean Beach Park. It is close to local schools, restaurants, the library, the Garde theater, museums and art galleries, the ferry terminals and train station, and L+M Hospital. It’s also within a few minutes’ drive to General Dynamics/Electric Boat, the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, Conn College and Mitchell College.

Man Not Brand

Hands-down one of my favourite movies of all time. It has it all: a massive star-studded cast, romance, comedy, humour, cleverness, flash, fast-pace, and keeping the viewer hooked til the very end. I’m a gigantic fan of heist movies to begin with (Inside Man being another favourite), but this one takes the cake as a phenomenal showcase of talent and entertainment.
One of the biggest reasons this movie (that I’ve admittedly seen countless, countless times before) made the Cinema25 Cut was because Director Steven Soderbergh is also the Director of Photography (DP). No, this isn’t a typo. Not only did the dude direct the movie which is a mission in and of itself, he also DPed it. Pretty cool. I was curious to observe how the same person taking on both roles played into the production of the movie.
Overall, the cinematography of this movie is generally unremarkable and that’s kind of why I like it. It’ll never make a list of the Top 100 Most Beautiful Movies Ever Made. It’s funny because it’s a Vegas movie that doesn’t really feel like a Vegas movie in most ways. Instead of showing off the glitz and glamour of the strip, we spend most of our time in hotel rooms, hallways, secret gambling rooms, air ducts, and vaults.
I can’t begin to tell you how much I love this movie, simply because it’s fun. Here’s everything I learned about cinematography from rewatching Ocean’s Eleven.
Some of these observations will be chronologically or thematically random, but hopefully the observation itself is of enough value to trump the fact that this isn't an analysis worthy of a University English paper.
1. Soderbergh says in interviews that he specifically wanted Ocean's Eleven to feel unlit. Every light (Generally speaking) in the scene he wanted to be motivated and not overly glitzy or glamorous. This is especially apparent anytime someone is on the casino floor. Everything is washed in super warm lighting and rarely do we see something like a strong key light or sharp edge light.
2. An unlit film also generally goes in the face of traditional Vegas movies, which showcase the neon and highroller lifestyle of the city. By not making the film feel too polished or Hollywood perfect, the tone of the film is set in a different direction.
3. Throughout the movie we see Soderbergh not nervous about using long takes that are between 60 and 90 seconds long with relatively little to no camera movement whatsoever. These scenes, again, aren't overly flashy and don't draw attention to themselves. The scene in Reuben's backyard relies instead on blocking and framing to keep the shot feeling dynamic and interesting.
4. While Soderbergh didn't want a traditional Vegas aesthetic, he wasn't nervous to use colour. In many different instances in the movie, actors are bathed in completely over the top, contrasty, saturated colours. Often there's a touch of neutral daylight-balanced lighting to keep things down to earth, but never if it isn't motivated.
5. Soderbergh isn't a massive fan of scene setters: quick clips of new locations that show the audience where we are. Instead, Soderbergh prefers to use alternative film or audio techniques to get this point across. A lot of the time audio from the next scene will start before the camera has cut over to it. Or other times we'll have a conversation take place completely off camera to set the tone in one way while the camera does in another.
6. One of the other ways Soderbergh gets around using scene setters is by shooting relatively wide. The scene in Reuben's living room where the heist plan is being explained to the crew for the first time was shot entirely on a 27mm lens. Because the film is in a cinemascope 2.35:1 aspect ratio, a lot of the sides of the frame are open enough to convey a location without needing to waste time with a scene setter.
7. This movie has a ton of characters lit from below (there’s gotta be a technical term for this that I don’t know and can’t find on Google) with catchlights also sitting low in their eyes. This lighting style is traditionally saved for scenes where the character is meant to be foreboding (think of telling ghost stories around a campfire with a flashlight under your face), but in this movie it’s just a natural part of many scenes. I really dig it. It’s not in-your-face, and it’s often balanced out by a hairlight from above, so the character still pops off the background a little.
9. Traditionally, zooming in on something (especially with fairly harsh and abrupt zooms) is super cheesy. It’s something people just don’t do some 20 years later in filmmaking. If we see a zoom in modern cinema, it’s usually more of a slow push-in to create emphasis than a straight-up zoom in on a detail. Ocean’s Eleven isn’t like that, though. This movie has zooms all over the the place, often connected with pans back and forth from one subject to another. Again, this is really something you never see anymore, but in this movie it happens so often that you kind of forget about it. Soderbergh uses these to create his own Ocean’s Eleven cinematic language, and I think it works really well.
10. Besides the few long-takes I mentioned above, Ocean’s Eleven contains a lot of shorter “oners” (I put that in quotes because it’s not really a oner) that are anywhere from 3-5 different compositions in the same clip, with pans and zooms in between. Keeping these pans in, even when they’re fast and the set is blurred, gives the scene some room to breathe. It helps the audience understand the blocking / relativity of actors to the details also being shown in the scene. Combined with the zooms mentioned in the last observation, these things come together to really just make their own language. It’s different from most movies, and I like it a lot.
11. Building on the last point, these “long takes” with multiple compositions don’t always follow the same character or subject. Sometimes a scene would open with a Glidecam shot following someone walking and switch to tracking another person when they entered the frame. This is cool, maintains the visual language of the film with lots of pans, and also continues the practice of scene-setters that are more an actual part of the scene than just lame insert shots.
12. Expanding one more time on multiple-compositions-in-a-single-take, Soderbergh isn’t afraid to move from what would usually be an insert shot to a medium scene setter to a tight portrait, all in one take with pans in between. These differences in framing relative to the zoom and camera position add more depth to the scene. They’re super untraditional.
13. From a cinematography perspective, careful attention was taken to give each of the Eleven cast their own special introduction with their own unique camera trick or tactic. You’d have to watch to fully understand, but I’ll try to briefly give a few of the notable ones:
The introduction of Basher is almost entirely handheld with subtle camera shake
Livingston’s introduction includes zooms and pans that would be similar to his surveillance cameras
Linus’s introduction is shot in 12 frames per second with occasional freeze frames
Saul’s introduction is very slow with long takes
All of these cinematic styles are subtle and reflective of their characters / individual personalities. It’s a really subtle thing to do but a cool way to use cinematography to further illustrate different locations around the country and the different members of the cast.
14. The camera has a voice - this is fundamental cinematography knowledge. How a DP controls its movement, zoom, exposure, pacing, height, framing; all of these things affect how cohesive a scene or film feels. Often times Soderbergh matches up a left-to-right dolly movement between two different locations to make the transition smoother. Sometimes a clip will start slowly pushing in and a cut to another angle will continue that push in and stop. This cohesiveness really keeps things smooth and makes it feel intentional. This is good filmmaking.
15. However, opposed to my last point, sometimes this is just entirely by mistake and we mustn’t read too far into a DP’s thought process on set. A lot of the time, we’re just problem-solving. In an interview, Soderbergh explains how, near the end of the film when Terry is in the elevator and the doors close, it cuts to black and re-emerges on a black scene in a different location of the Oceans warehouse. He said this seems super intentional but was a total fluke and just worked out. A prime example of winging it and sometimes just getting lucky with how something comes together.
17. Soderbergh has explained in interviews that the reason he DP’d and directed the film was because he wanted to have a more intimate connection with the actors when filming. Though he has an appreciation and background doing cinematography, he openly admits he is far from the world’s best, and that they easily could’ve found someone better than him to do the movie. That being said, I now love that he did it. I think he created this super fascinating set of rules and practices that make the film super unique and unlike other movies. I particularly love that it’s not super flashy because it keeps the emphasis on the story.
Until I sat down to analyze this movie’s cinematography, I would’ve always just told you I liked the story, and I liked how the movie made me feel. I couldn’t point to specifics like “I love the colour palette” or “I like the funky camera movements” or “the bokeh is delicious”. I just loved the movie as a whole, and I think that’s one really important take-away here.
As a cinematographically-minded person, my first question when I’m filming something is, “How can I make this scene more beautiful?”, but Ocean’s Eleven is a reminder that the first question should be, “How can I make this scene better tell the story of the whole film?”
No shame here. Ocean’s Eleven remains one of my favourite movies of all time. #1 spot on my list of “Most Rewatchable Movies Ever”.
At a Glance: My Personal Takeaways for Future Filmmaking
Analyzing a movie like this is a waste of time if I don’t take something (or a long list of somethings) from each film and apply it to my filmmaking going forward. Here are my key takeaways from Ocean’s Eleven:
1. Filming a scene in a way that communicates the tone of the overall film is better than trying to make every frame worthy of hanging in a museum
2. Pans between compositions aren’t a waste if utilized properly
3. You can use unconventional techniques to create your own visual language for each film. In this instance, they were pans, zooms, and transitions that are traditionally thought of as cheesy
4. Don’t be afraid to make things feel unlit and natural. Ugly light can look like ugly light
5. Be more meticulous when shooting to combine multiple shorter cuts into a single mini-oner where appropriate
6. Not every film needs to be the same as the last one. Not every film needs to be different from the last one
7. Consider ways you can differentiate characters, locations, and themes using cinematic techniques such as framing, time of day, colour palette, frame rate, camera movement, and any other tool at your disposal
8. If a subject you’re shooting has a traditional approach that most filmmakers take, stray to set a different tone
9. Balanced doesn’t always mean symmetrical. Symmetrical doesn’t always mean balanced
10. Unconventional lighting doesn’t always need to be so over-the-top that it attracts attention to itself

Playing with tricks that require perfect timing and clever scheme makes this movie interesting. Most of the tricks shown in this movie exploit human's vulnerability, a key in the Social Engineering schemes. For us who live at the beginning of the modern digital age and pandemics, understanding how these manipulative actions successfully deceived their prey will be really important.
Social engineering is defined as a manipulation technique that exploits human error to gain private information, access, or valuables (Kaspersky). This kind of cybercrime actually can happen online, in person, and via other interactions. However, social engineering is often used as a very dangerous complement in hacking data or access to systems.
#1 Free Products from Cosmetic Shop
At the beginning of the movie, Debbie Ocean (Sandra Bullock) easily “stolen” several branded cosmetics by grabbing them, then strolling around luxurious cosmetics, and finally going to the cashier: she simply said that she would like to return/refund those products.
Since she couldn’t show the receipt, the staff couldn’t process them. She cleverly acted like she was angry for the overcomplication of the return procedure then left.
The lesson learned here is that we should always watch for “unidentified object/person” who enters our “system” (email, business, document, or even our physical environment) and validate that object/person.
The branded cosmetic shop should always remember all of their loyal customers (can be identified by the transaction volume or frequency). They should’ve noticed an unidentified customer who suddenly asked for a refund in the first place.
#2 Free Staying at Luxurious Hotel
She, again, tricked the staff at the hotel by disguising herself as the guest (over a phone call) who just left. She just simply stated that she would stay a few days longer due to flight cancellation.
Her trick worked really well because she added a few crucial elements in Social Engineering: knowing key information. Debbie captured the name of the guest and hotel staff, then fabricated a very common story in the hospitality industry: an extended stay.
The staff hotel could prevent this fraudulent activity by asking for either upfront payment or detailed data verification. But Debbie, our main character in the movie, got the upper hand since it is a luxurious hotel where most customers might find it rude for hotel staff to ask about upfront payment or data verification.
#3 Getting into McCallister Security to Get Access to Their Camera System
It is both hilarious and sad that a security staff fell for such a cheap trick (but well, he is the Visual Matrix Design Dept. Head, but still!). The key here is once again, those bad guys will try to analyze your profile to manipulate us. They will examine any digital footprints available in social media or any websites.
The poor Paul Damanian clicked the "phishing email" and just like that, the crisis has been solved for The Ocean's 8 ladies. This can be prevented by not clicking any suspicious, not usual email. If you want to validate the authenticity of an email or website, always check the information outside the email, use a new window and find information about the source of the email or the company offering you something on trusted websites (e.g., web comparison, news). And also, control yourself toward things you like :)
Bonus: Recent Practices in Indonesia and Australia
Case in Indonesia
A few months ago, someone in Indonesia just used my photo from either Instagram or Facebook, put it as his/her WhatsApp profile picture then contacted SEVERAL of my friends, asking for money. Either this person has researched me for quite a while or he/she is actually my old friend who betrayed me: he/she could use 2 languages toward my 2 real friends who use different languages (Indonesian and Javanese). Luckily, my nearly-tricked friends felt something was off and contacted me via my old-consistent phone number. Some of my friends at work also experience the same thing: someone tries to disguise themselves and ask for money.
Next time your friend asks for money using a different phone number or social media account, you have a reason to be afraid and ask them via regular contact. And be a cool-headed person, some bad guys even will shout about "accident" or "your family member is in danger" to add an element of surprise, just don't let your guard down!
Case in Australia
Before I left Australia, I got several random text messages asking me to click certain links because "my shipment or e-commerce orders got a problem". I just ignored them all and block the contacts. I always check official websites/mobile apps where I bought the products or official websites of courier/shipment/delivery services then check my order via official code/reference issued by them.
It is a concerning threat as some people indeed order a lot of stuff that she/he might forget about the details then accidentally click one of the scams. Be careful all the time!

Ocean plastic pollution
Is there really an island of plastic waste floating in the Pacific?
The ocean garbage patches are not solid âislandsâ of trash. Rather, the plastic is dispersed, forming massive âdebris fieldsâ. But that does not mean these areas arenât highly polluted and don’t require cleaning up. The average concentration of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is around 60 kg per square kilometer, and peaks at several hundred kg per square kilometer. For comparison: a few hundred kilometers from the patch youâd struggle to find values of 0.1 kg per square kilometer. A summary of the science of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch can be found here and more details on the trash island misconception here.
How much plastic is in the ocean?
Quantifying the amount of plastic in the ocean is not an easy feat, and new papers on the pervasiveness of plastic in the marine environment come out every week.
In our article published in Scientific Reports in 2019, we relied on models and statistics to estimate how much plastic was being emitted into the ocean and where it would end up.
In the article, we estimated that 107 and 290 million metric tons of plastic were emitted into the ocean between 1950 and 2015. Over this period, plastic output increased exponentially, and it continues to increase as global plastic production surges.

Plastic extracted from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch with System 002
Depending on the buoyancy of the plastic, its journey once it enters the ocean differs. Approximately 35.5% of the plastic entering the ocean is considered non-buoyant and can therefore be assumed to sink close to the ocean entry point. The rest (65.5%) is considered buoyant plastic, which will either a) beach onshore, b) sink to the seabed close to shore, or c) escape out into the ocean and eventually end up in the so-called garbage patches. While the latter fraction is the smallest of the three, it remains important as it moves the floating trash out of reach for cleanup efforts operating closer to shore.
The journey of a piece of plastic can be very long, beaching and re-entering the ocean multiple times, all the while slowly breaking down and releasing microplastics. It might also take years or even decades before a plastic piece has traveled all the way to a garbage patch.
To conclude, we need to stop plastic from entering the ocean. But to mitigate harm to the environment and limit the generation of further microplastics it is also essential to clean up the plastic that has made its way into the ocean.

Is the plastic all at the ocean surface, or deeper down as well?
In 2014 and 2015 The Ocean Cleanup organized several expeditions to measure the vertical distribution of plastic, in high resolution for the top five meters of the ocean. Results were published in Biogeosciences and Nature Scientific Reports.
The smaller the pieces get, the more sensitive they are to mixing due to wind and wave turbulence. The measurements showed that even the microplastics stay on or near the surface in turbulent seas. The highest concentrations of microplastics were found directly on the surface and quickly went to trace concentrations when at only a few meters of depth. Larger objects, which comprise most of the mass of plastic in the ocean, are more buoyant and are found almost directly at the ocean surface.
It is important to note that weâre referring to the floating fraction of plastic. Part of the plastic that enters the ocean is of a plastic type that is heavier than water. However, most packaging and fishing gear (the two primary sources of ocean plastic) is made of buoyant types of plastic (Polyethylene and Polypropylene), and most life can be found in the top part of the ocean, which is why The Ocean Cleanup focuses on the floating plastic.
The vertical distribution of ocean plastic in wind condition that are average for the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (left) and more windy conditions (right). Derived from Kooi et al., 2016.
Is it true that most of the plastic pieces are tiny (microplastics)?
Although microplastics are most abundant by count, our reconnaissance of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch revealed that 92% of the plastics are still large objects in terms of mass. The smallest size class we quantified, pieces smaller than 1.5mm, accounts for just 0.77% of the mass.
Compare it to standing next to Mount Everest while holding a handful of pebbles. While the pebbles in your hand are more abundant by count than the mountain (for which the count equals 1), the mountain, obviously, contains more rock than your hand does. As you can see, itâs the mass that counts (pun intended).
So, most of the plastic floating in the ocean garbage patches is still intact as large objects, which is even more reason to go and clean it up â before the 92% breaks down into more and more small pieces.
Most plastic in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is contained in large objects. Lebreton et al., 2018
What are microplastics, and macroplastics and why may they be harmful?
Microplastics are plastic objects smaller than 5 millimeters in size. They can consist of plastic fragments, flakes, fibers, or pre-production pellets (also known as nurdles). We differentiate between primary microplastics, which are plastic pieces produced in that size (nurdles, cosmetic microbeads, etc.), and secondary microplastics, which come from the degradation of larger objects (found in the form of fragments, fibers, paint flakes, etc.).
Examples of secondary microplastics; plastic fragments stemming from larger objects
Macroplastics are typically categorized as anything larger than 5 millimeters. However, at The Ocean Cleanup, we differentiate between mesoplastics (0.5 â 5 cm), macroplastics (5 â 50 cm), and megaplastics (>50 cm). This is to reflect the wide variation of sizes in plastic pollution. As larger objects left in the environment may slowly break down into smaller pieces, monitoring and documenting the full-size spectrum of plastic pollution and its evolution over time is essential.

Example of megaplastic pieces caught during the System 002 mission
Of all the size classes, microplastic accumulation poses the greatest risk of harming the environment. Because of their small size, their bioavailability increases, meaning they can potentially impact many more species than larger objects. The ingestion of microplastics can result in physical damage to organisms. Concerns have also been raised surrounding the toxicity of plastic ingestion, as plastic can carry possible harmful chemicals (either through absorption or leaching). Finally, as pathogens and parasite vectors have also been identified on microplastics, there is an increased risk for ecosystems. However, there is still no consensus on how damaging microplastics are to the environment, and their impact depends on the plastic size, environment, organisms, and level of exposure.
How plastic pollution travels up the food chain
Floating macroplastics also have apparent impacts on marine megafauna through ingestion or entanglement. As they degrade over time, they can generate large numbers of microplastics â and like their smaller counterparts, macroplastics can carry chemicals and invasive species. The increasing accumulation of floating plastic âraftsâ on the ocean surface provides a gateway for species to move from one continent to another like never before, representing a real risk for biodiversity due to species invasion.

What are the long-term effects of plastic pollution in the oceans?
Because plastic is such a persistent material, the ecological, economic and eco-toxicological effects of plastic pollution are all long-term. These include:
Physical impact on marine life: entanglement, ingestion, starvation
Chemical impact: the buildup of persistent organic pollutants like PCBs and DDT
Transport of invasive species and pollutants from polluted rivers to remote areas in the ocean
Economic impact: damage to fisheries, shipping, and tourism
In recent years, the amount of attention focused on very small plastic particles has increased dramatically, but little is yet known about their long-term effects on the environment. The microplastics The Ocean Cleanup is focused on preventing is the so-called secondary microplastics, i.e. plastic fragments resulting from the breakdown of larger plastic debris at land and sea.
For more information, see our Ocean Plastic Explained page as well as our research about the persistent organic pollutants on the plastic.
What types of plastic do you find in the middle of the ocean vs closer to shore?
Not all plastic makes its way to the garbage patches once released into the aquatic environment. During our expeditions and cleanup missions, we have mainly seen and caught HDPE plastics (High-Density Polyethylene), with a smaller fraction comprised of LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene) and PP (Polypropylene). Their density is lower than water, which makes them stay afloat and more likely to persist in the ocean for long periods.
Examples of plastic products we find in the ocean, typically made with HDPE, are:
Fishing equipment, ghost nets
Bottle caps
Toothbrushes
Detergent bottles
Shampoo, conditioner, shower gel bottles
Some types of beverage bottles
Crates
Pieces of buckets
Toys
Ghost net lifted onboard the vessel in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, during the System 001/B mission 2019
Examples of plastic caught during the System 001/B mission in 2019.
Other plastic types usually wash up on the shore, or sink close to the coast. Examples of these plastic types are:
Plastic bags
Cigarette filters
PET bottles (note: the cap does float)
Styrofoam food- and beverage containers
Straws
Textiles made of plastic
With our Interceptor solutions, we aim to catch plastics before it beaches, sinks, or escapes to the ocean. Our ocean systems will tackle the legacy plastic already out there, as it can take decades before plastic pieces make it to the ocean garbage patches.
Learn more about plastic becomes ocean plastic on our Ocean Plastic Explained page.
Who should be responsible for cleaning the gyres?
Since the accumulation zones are located outside of national territories, no single party is seen as responsible for the cleanup of the plastic pollution. Hence, intergovernmental bodies or independent private initiatives are the only entities likely willing to tackle this problem.
How can I help prevent plastic pollution?
There are several steps you can take to prevent plastic pollution, but some depend on recycling facilities in your area. Here are a few tips:
Spread awareness for plastic pollution
Organize beach, river bank or land cleanups (and start a fundraiser for The Ocean Cleanup while doing your local cleanup)
Reduce your use of disposable plastics (including microbeads in cosmetics)
Make sure you dispose of trash properly
Wash your synthetic clothing as little as possible
Reuse and recycle whenever possible
Support us financially with a donation or apply to The Ocean Cleanup to help us develop our system
Lobby to your (local) government
Will cleaning just incentivize people to continue polluting?
This assumes littering is a conscious action. Plastic enters the oceans primarily through negligence; unconscious actions of people that do not think about (or are unaware of) the consequence of the action. Once the consequences of oneâs actions are raised to the conscious level, people can make rational cost-benefit analyses of their actions and would probably think twice about throwing their rubbish into the environment. And what better thing can one do to raise the topic into the public awareness than by executing a very visible project like The Ocean Cleanup?
Right now, the oceanic plastic problem is quite an abstract problem. Since the patches arenât solid masses of plastic they’re difficult to photograph, and, in any case, they are very far away. By lifting the plastic out of the ocean and showing the world mountains of trash coming into port, we remove the abstractness of the problem and bring it much closer to home.
Cleaning plastic from the ocean, as well as all the R&D required to make it happen, also helps to increase the available knowledge of the problem, as our numerous scientific publications have shown. This, in turn, allows us to develop better technologies and policies to also address the prevention-side of the equation.
The moral hazard argument can also be countered by the Broken Window Theory, which says that that visible signs of social disobedience (graffiti, litter, etc.) promotes more of such behavior. People are, for example, more likely to litter when the park they walk in is already littered. By making the ocean clean again, we avoid the idea that the oceans are already full of plastic and that one extra piece of plastic wonât make much of a difference. Saying that the oceans canât be cleaned up and the only thing we can do is to try to not make it worse is a very depressing message. If the oceans are truly polluted forever, why bother trying to do something about it?
Following the logic of the moral hazard in reverse, it looks like the best way to stop plastic pollution will be to stop collecting litter from the streets and remove any waste infrastructure because these things all give people an incentive to create more waste in the first place. Obviously, that is not true. The data shows countries with the least amount of waste infrastructure have the highest rates of plastic leakage.
As always, it is important to make a balanced assessment between a hypothetical risk in the future, versus a certain impact today.
How do your work and research impact local and international communities?
The Ocean Cleanup provides data and knowledge from scientific research and field operations for governments and institutions to consider when discussing new policies and legal frameworks to regulate plastic pollution.
We were recently granted Consultative Status by the United Nations, which will allow us to have a voice and play a role in formal deliberations with UN bodies, NGOs, and member state governments. The international community is currently negotiating a new United Nations Treaty on plastic pollution and conserving marine biological diversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction.
In every project we initiate worldwide, we seek partnerships with civic and private waste management authorities and strive to ensure the waste caught by the Interceptor is managed responsibly.
In times of globalization, we all share the responsibility to create a better global framework and a cleaner environment for the next generation
Ocean cleanup system
The concept
Is the cleanup system already installed and cleaning up the ocean?
Yes. We have been cleaning in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch since July 2021, when System 002 captured our first plastic. System 03, our current cleanup system in the GPGP, was deployed in August 2023.
You can follow System 03âs progress on our Dashboard.
Can you rid the oceans of plastic entirely?
We will never be able to remove every single piece of plastic from the oceans. However, by intercepting plastic in rivers, and cleaning what is already out there, a significant decrease of floating debris in the oceanâs accumulation zones can be achieved. Our aim is to remove 90% of floating ocean plastic by 2040.
Can you provide an overall solution to ocean plastic pollution?
Solving the entire problem will require radical changes at the individual, corporate, and governmental levels of society. In addition to these efforts, cleanup of the oceanic accumulation zones is necessary; plastic in these zones does not go away by itself and it creates an ecological risk as it breaks down into more dangerous microplastics. Intercepting plastic before it reaches the ocean, rather than waiting for policy/societal change, will also help in limiting the effects plastic has on sea life, economies, and human health.
The Ocean Cleanup can significantly reduce the concentration of plastic in the ocean garbage patches and work with stakeholders all over the world to intercept plastic in the worldâs most polluted rivers. With the application of these solutions, our aim is to reduce 90% of the floating plastic pollution by 2040.
Will the systems interrupt shipping pathways?
The ocean garbage patches are vast (three times the size of France) and vessels crossing through it are rare â on average there are less than five within its boundaries.
Therefore, we expect minimal interactions with other vessels and will not be interrupting active shipping pathways. By having an active system, we can coordinate with other ships and change course when appropriate. We will put out a notice to mariners in that area, and there will be signs and lights on the ship and on the retention system to ensure it is visible. We will also be able to contact other vessels to inform them of our presence if necessary. If there are multiple systems in the area, we will follow the same procedure.
How will the systems withstand severe storms?
Because the cleanup systems are meant to stay in the patch for long periods of time, it is important that our systems can withstand the forces of the ocean. We will continually monitor the loads in the system and adapt the speed and span to lower the loads in the case of rough seas. We will also monitor weather forecasts and plan a trajectory to avoid storms, and by understanding the patch climate, we can plan to operate in less critical locations. In the case of a particularly severe storm, the system can be temporarily withdrawn from the operation.
How do you make sure the system does not break?
Our system was designed with minimal components and high flexibility, and minimizing opportunities for breakages was always in our minds. We continually monitor the system with loadcells and adapt the speed and span to lower the loads in the case of rough seas. We also monitor weather forecasts and plan our route to avoid storms. By following weather forecasts, we also aim to operate in areas where conditions are more favorable. In the case of a particularly severe storm, the system can be temporarily withdrawn from the operation. Inspections and repairs are always conducted during initial deployment and final recovery for each trip. When expected wear and tear occurs, we can usually fix these components on deck during idle periods, for example, during transit to and from port.
Will the systems impact sea life?
The driver behind our mission to rid the worldâs oceans of plastic is to make the ocean a healthier place for all life that benefits from it, so our number one priority is safety for the environment and our crew. While the overall risks of our operations were found to be negligible, the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) conducted by CSA Ocean Sciences determined that some interactions are likely with some species of fish, turtles, and certain plankton and neustonic organisms with limited mobility, so we must minimize this impact as much as possible.
The EIA notes that the long-term impact on marine species of the removal of large amounts of plastic and marine debris should be beneficial, and it is unlikely that any potentially impacted species will decrease in number. As data is still limited, there is uncertainty about the residual impact our operations may have on these communities; therefore, we aim to help fill these knowledge gaps by continuing to collect data during our operations and sharing this with the scientific community.
Our systems are designed to be safe for the marine environment; speed (slower than a casual stroll), materials, and shape have all been chosen to minimize negative side effects. We have also incorporated mitigation measures into our systems to deter marine animals from interacting with the system or provide easy exit routes in case they do â and we continue to develop new mitigation measures as we operate. Alongside increasing our underwater cameras, System 03 introduced a new Marine Animal Safety Hatch, which can activate to encourage any animal in the Retention Zone to exit, further limiting any chances for an animal to become trapped. While extracting plastic, dedicated Environmental Observers and crew are present and monitoring the area. If necessary, we can -and do- halt cleanup operations based on the event severity level.
As we continue to develop our technology and learn more about the natural behaviors of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch and its wildlife, we will adapt as needed to ensure our net impact on this environment remains as positive as possible.
Read this Update: âHow we Ensure an Environmentally Sound Cleanupâ for more information about mitigation measures.
Will the systems have a Fish Aggregating Device (FAD) effect?
Fish are often attracted to floating structures found offshore, such as flotsam, and oil and gas platforms. This also applies to the plastic that is currently in the ocean, including large ghost nets. By collecting this plastic, fish may gather around our system temporarily. However, because the retention zone is emptied every two weeks, and the entire system may be removed from the water every four weeks, these FAD effects are removed, and the fish disperse.
Learn more about how the system is designed for limited environmental impact in this YouTube video.
What are you doing to offset your fuel emissions for your offshore activity?
Limiting our impact on the environment is at the core of each decision we make. As with any large-scale activity at sea, currently, consuming fuel is inevitable. With System 03, this is primarily related to the vessels operating the system. Since the start of our activities in the GPGP in 2018, we have been offsetting all carbon emissions related to our operations following a third-party assessment of our total carbon footprint. We will continue to do so with S03, while continuously working on minimizing emissions. Our offshore partner, Maersk, will continue to develop the most fuel-efficient vessel routing and logistics for our scale-up and hope to further incorporate sustainable fuels, with the aim to integrate renewable fueled assets into our operations. We are also working on a full cost-benefit assessment to determine our net impact on the environment.
How has the concept changed over time?
The main shifts in our concept have involved the switch from a moored system to a drifting system and later to an active system. We learned this has many advantages: higher plastic capture efficiency, reduced deployment and maintenance costs, and reduced risk of system damage due to lower forces from wind, waves, and currents, to name a few.
System 001 suffered from fatigue issues and could not keep a sufficient speed difference with the plastic. The learnings gained from System 001 were implemented into a redesign: System 001/B, a smaller, modular version that could be adjusted offshore if necessary. Although we did successfully capture and retain plastic, we concluded that we could not effectively scale up with this design. Therefore, with System 002, we developed a new approach that uses active propulsion to move slightly faster than the plastic continuously. With an actively propelled system, we will be able to catch plastic more quickly and efficiently because contrary â to the passive approach â we can now direct our system towards areas with high concentrations of plastic.
System 002 received proof of technology in October 2021. We continued to harvest plastic System 002 while beginning the gradual transition to System 03, which was completed in August 2023. System 03 is not only significantly bigger (wings length and depth + retention zone length) but also features upgraded system components to reduce overtopping and increase integrity and reliability – improving uptime and capture efficiency.
As we have scaled up the size of our system, we have also increased our measures to safeguard marine life and the environment during our operations. As well as the elements already in place with System 002, we added additional underwater cameras all along the Retention Zone of System 03. These cameras are monitored by protected species observers (PSOs) on board. System 03 also has a newly developed Marine Animal Safety Hatch, which can be activated to create an opening for the animal to exit while closing off the rest of the Retention Zone and preventing the animal from becoming trapped. This function also prevents us from losing our entire plastic catch when we are required to free an animal. The MASH complements the other (already existing) openings on the underside of the retention zone.
System 03 was deployed on its first cleaning trip in August 2023. As with any other change and upgrade, we need to test and learn how to operate it efficiently before deciding how to move forward. We aim for System 03 to be the blueprint for scale-up to a full fleet. Stay tuned to follow the learnings from System 03 on our website and social media.
Did you conduct environmental impact assessments for your ocean systems?
Yes, we have conducted environmental impact assessments for our previous ocean systems, as well as the current one operating in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch â System 03. You can see the EIA for this system here.
Before we scale up to a fleet of systems, we will reference our original assessment and conduct additional EIAs based on any design changes and the scope of the operations. We will only move forward with deployment once we have confirmation from new EIAs that our activities will not adversely affect the environment.
Read more about out prevention and mitigation measures in this blogpost.
What impact will your cleanup technology have on floating organisms (neuston) in the ocean?
The Environmental Impact Assessment conducted by CSA (independent third-party) for our technology estimates that impacts of System 03 on Neuston likely range from negligible to low. However, we acknowledge that it is difficult to determine what positive or negative impact will occur between our technology and floating organisms (neuston) as little is known about the interaction of these organisms with this offshore environment, plastic, and our technology. There is still much to learn, hence the need for continued research. Fortunately, our operations provide a unique platform to conduct regular and systematic research on this under-studied topic, helping us to understand our potential impact on the marine environment and providing greater insights into these organisms. We are currently investigating the seasonal dynamics of neuston and how they relate to plastic accumulation in the GPGP and beyond.
To read more about our findings, preventions, and mitigations in the System 002 campaign, you can visit this update. See also our update on research on neuston in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.
What are the nicknames of your ocean cleanup systems?
SYSTEM 001 â WILSON
System 001 was nicknamed Wilson in reference to the volleyball that is Tom Hanksâ friend in the film Cast Away, while he is stranded on a small island in the South Pacific. Wilson is lost in a storm and floats away. His fate remains unknown, however, oceanographer Curtis Ebbesmeyer suggests he could have ended up in the garbage patch between Australia and South America, floating for years in a vortex, or becoming washed ashore on a small island somewhere in the gyre.
SYSTEM 001/B â WILSONâ² (WILSON PRIMED)
After completing design upgrades based on the insights from System 001, System 001/B was engineered. System 001/B took on the name Wilsonâ² (Wilson primed) as a logical step since the prime is used in mathematics to generate variable names for items that are similar â therefore, Wilsonâ² is a system related to or derived from Wilson.
SYSTEM 002 â JENNY
Continuing the Tom Hanks theme, Jenny was chosen as the name for System 002. Tom Hanks named his boat in the film Forrest Gump âJennyâ, after the girl he was in love with. This boat was driven by active propulsion and caught trash. With System 002âs adapted design and active propulsion, we aim to catch plastic more efficiently and effectively than previous systems.
SYSTEM 03 â JOSH
Given that System 03 had to be big (2.1 km or 1.3 miles in length) to increase the catch efficiency, we had an easy reference to the next Tom Hanks movie â BIG. The movie is about a kid named Josh, who is tired of being limited by the rules of adults. When visiting a fair, he sees a wishing slot machine and makes a wish to become an adult. This machine magically grants his wish, and he is transformed the next morning into an adult (played by Tom Hanks). So, Josh is a fitting name for System 03, as the wish to be big became a reality.
Why did you move from a passive to an active approach to clean the oceans?
Based on our learnings with the first two iterations and the development work that we undertook after those deployments, we concluded to need to make this pivot to improve our cleanup efficiency, keep it affordable and make it scalable.
What is new in System 03?
System 03 is The Ocean Cleanupâs third ocean cleanup system designed by The Ocean Cleanup and deployed in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP) in August 2023.
System 03 is not only bigger than its predecessor, System 002, but much better. We have upgraded System 002 components to make our cleanup more efficient and economical. At peak efficiency, System 03 can clean an area the size of a football field in five seconds.
The system now extends deeper under the surface and catches plastic floating underneath. Yet, this does not represent a further danger to marine life. Regarding mitigation measures, System 03 comes with MASH: the Marine Animal Safety Hatch. If an animal is spotted in the Retention Zone, the MASH is activated, blocking any further entrance into the Retention Zone and giving the animal a clear way out. Additionally, we can ensure that animals exit the Retention Zone without compromising the plastic catch.
System 03 is the result of years of testing and experimentation. We hope it becomes the blueprint for the fleet we need to rid the oceans of plastics.
Want to know more about System 03? Visit the Update: System 03: A Beginner’s Guide for answers to the 10 commonly asked questions.
Capture efficiency / Vertical distribution
How long will it take to clean up a gyre?
A complete cleanup of a gyre is unrealistic, but our ambition remains to clean up 90% of ocean plastic by 2040. To ensure we clean up as much plastic as possible, intercepting plastic from rivers, the major sources of ocean plastic, will need to continue to occur simultaneously.
To what depths will you be able to extract plastic?
The Ocean Cleanup focuses on the floating fraction of plastics. Since most are located between the surface and a depth of two meters, the cleanup system will be designed to clean up only the plastic in this upper layer of the water column. System 03 has a screen that extends 4 meters deep.
For more information about the distribution of plastic in the water column, read our update about vertical distributionâ¯hereâ¯(2016) and our research on the fallout of microplasticâ¯hereâ¯(2020).
Which sizes of plastic can your system capture?
We are specifically targeting plastics larger than 15 millimeters, but we do not yet know the exact size the system will be able to capture.
Even though sub-centimeter-sized plastic represents a significant share of the plastic count, the mass is made up of larger objects. These larger objects will eventually turn into microplastics if not extracted, so our goal is to prevent that from happening.
How much plastic can you remove from the ocean?
Our aim is to clean up 90% of floating ocean plastic by 2040. The cleanup needs to be paired with river plastic interception on land in order to ensure lasting effects.
River Interceptorsâ¢
The technology
What is an Interceptor�
To rid the worldâs oceans of plastic, we must remove legacy waste and prevent plastic from entering the ocean. Because rivers are the primary source of ocean plastic, this is where we must take action.
The Interceptor Original is the worldâs first scalable solution for preventing river debris from entering the ocean. Designed for series production, the Interceptor Original relies on natural forces (river currents and solar power) to extract debris flowing through rivers and ensure this waste never makes its way to the ocean.
While we designed our Interceptor Original to be suitable for a wide range of rivers, our understanding of the differences among these 1000 rivers has shown us that a single solution would not be sufficient to handle all conditions experienced in scale-up. Thus, we are now creating a family of Interceptor solutions, a toolkit we can use to apply the best solution for each specific location. Our toolkit currently consists of the Interceptor Original, the Interceptor Barrier, the Interceptor Tender, the Interceptor Barricade, and the Interceptor Guard. To learn more about our river technology, check out our River page.
How does the Interceptor⢠Original work?
The Interceptor Original is a barrier and conveyor belt system that concentrates and extracts plastic from rivers. The flow path is uninterrupted due to the catamaran design, which allows plastic to flow freely into the device and water to continue with the current.
The barrier concentrates the debris as it floats with the current and directs it to a permeable conveyer belt. At this point, the waste is transferred up the belt to an automated shuttle that distributes the waste between one of six containers located on a separate barge. Once full, the barge is exchanged, and the waste is transferred to a local waste management facility. Apart from unloading, discharging, and reinstalling the waste collection barge, the Interceptorâ¢, due to its solar power, does not require polluting and expensive fuels, allowing for efficient operating costs and minimal labor requirements for its activities.
To learn more, see our river page.
Where are your Interceptors⢠currently deployed?
Currently, there are Interceptor Originals in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Dominican Republic, the United States (L.A. County), and Vietnam, with more deployments planned for Thailand and Indonesia. The Interceptor Barrier, Tender, and Guard have been deployed in Kingston, Jamaica, and you can find our Interceptor Barricade in Guatemala. Check out our Interceptor deployments on our Dashboard.
What are the technical specs and the size of the Interceptor⢠Original? Â
The Interceptor size is 8M x 24M x 5M with a waste collection (barge) capacity of 50 M³; it is fully autonomous with an off-grid power generation, remote monitoring dashboard, automated extraction control, 4G data uplink to the cloud, and more.
The Interceptor pontoon weighs 45.2 metric tons and the barge with the dumpsters weighs 10.2 metric tons.
For more details, see our Interceptor Original page.
How much waste can the Interceptor Original extract?
The Interceptor Original has 6 barges with a total capacity of 50 m3. When the barges are full they are emptied by local operators. The amount removed per river will vary depending on local conditions such as elevation, slope, annual rainfall, etc.
We also recognize that each river is unique, and our measures may need to be adapted to fit a specific river, such as installing a double barrier or using a different Interceptor Solution. See our Rivers page for more details on our family or Interceptor solutions.
Surrounding environment
How do you manage boat traffic near Interceptors?
Interceptors are placed in the river only after consultation with relevant public bodies and stakeholders, while considering all applicable rules and regulations. That said, the barrier of the Interceptor does not have to span the entire width of the river â because we can identify the natural plastic accumulation paths in a river, or âhotlinesâ, we can place the Interceptor in a location that prevents the majority of plastic flowing through the river while still allowing vessels to pass by. If this hotline is not present, we can create an artificial one using a second barrier upstream.
Will the Interceptors harm the environment?
Prior to each Interceptor deployment, we work with local and global partners including expert consultants to scan for environmental and social impacts unique to the specific conditions of each river and to comply with local environmental laws and regulations. We commissioned third-party environmental and social impact scanning (ESIS) with Royal Haskoning, Arcadis, and Witteveen+Bos for the deployment areas in question. With an ESIS we estimate the possible impact on the environment. To date, the assessments have shown the impact to tend towards negligible. In tandem, we are developing monitoring processes to better understand this possible impact â with some pilot efforts currently active. While we are still very much in a learning phase, for each deployment, we will conduct additional ESISs and develop monitoring efforts for verification
Did you conduct environmental impact assessments for the Interceptors?
Before our operations commence, The Ocean Cleanup takes several steps into consideration of local communities, wildlife, and habitats.
Prior to each Interceptor deployment, we work with local and global partners including expert consultants to scan for environmental and social impacts unique to the specific conditions of each river and to comply with local environmental laws and regulations. We commissioned third-party environmental and social impact scanning (ESIS) with Royal Haskoning, Arcadis, and Witteveen+Bos for the existing and upcoming deployment locations.
These reports are shared with the necessary regulatory stakeholders for each project when applicable, but as they involve multiple third parties, which differ for each Interceptor, it is not appropriate for us to publicly share the assessments at this time. For each Interceptor project, we will conduct additional ESIS assessments prior to deployment. Since the approach and depth of the assessments can vary, we are learning how to best conduct, standardize, and share environmental and social impact scanning. Part of this process includes the development of management plans with monitoring and mitigation protocols, including recording occurrences of animal interaction and collected debris composition. This information is used to continuously improve our technology and methodology to reduce impacts.
Considering that we are still developing this process, our intention is to provide more information here in the future, including a summary of the results of existing impact assessments.
River strategy
Who operates the Interceptor�
For each deployment location, we will collaborate with a local operator and governments to ensure it is safely and legally implemented and that its operations are well-maintained.
Who will own the Interceptor�
We currently expect that the respective operator of an Interceptor will take ownership of the system. If necessary, ownership can be assisted through sponsorships or low-interest loans. Where local circumstances require a different solution to keep the momentum, we will look into it. For us, the impact is more important than the ownership.
Why did you start with developing technologies for rivers?
We could have chosen to commit to cleanup only, while others focused on the prevention side. Yet, after two years, we decided to also tackle the other part of the equation. The Ocean Cleanup cannot be successful if the input isnât halted, especially considering the amount of plastic entering the oceans continues to increase, rather than decrease.
How will you be able to tackle 1000 rivers?
Our ambition is to tackle the pollution problem in the 1000 most polluted rivers by applying our technology, knowledge, experience, and network. We have a toolkit, the Interceptor Solutions, that can work in the majority of these rivers, but we will get to our goal much faster if everyone helps â this means better waste infrastructure, awareness, education, collaboration between initiatives, and more.
We know the goal of 1000 rivers is ambitious, but it is a necessary one.
Why not prevent plastic from reaching rivers in the first place?
Prevention is indeed a necessary part of the entire solution; it is one of many options, but it is a much more complex issue, which likely requires a mix of legislative change, infrastructure change, and advancements in materials science. All efforts to prevent and remove plastic from our waterways are necessary, but, as a technology foundation, we have decided to focus on what we know best: technology. Furthermore, we believe this is the path that could yield the fastest results, which is key considering the urgency of the problem.
We go into more details on the topic in this update: Why Rivers are the Key to Rapidly Stopping Plastic Pollution.
Why was the river project kept a secret at first?
We kept this project under the radar to avoid raising false expectations. Our objective was to be able to announce a project that was actually working and when we had systems operating, we believed it was the right time to unveil this to the wider public.
During the initial development phase, funds for this project were earmarked by specific donors and were, therefore, allocated as promised. Because we are a nonprofit, we did touch on the subject in our yearly annual report, albeit succinctly, to avoid unnecessary external pressure during this crucial period.
Is this a replacement for your ocean cleanup technology? Â
We project that we can remove 90% of floating ocean plastic by 2040, and to truly rid the worldâs oceans of plastic we must do two things: cleanup legacy plastic and stop it from entering the ocean. Both are necessary to achieve this mission, so we will continue our efforts in the ocean to ensure we have a safe and healthy ocean in the future.
Because plastic in the oceans is persistent, the only way to reduce the amount of plastic in the oceans is to also clean up the legacy. No ocean cleanup, no clean ocean.
Plastic extraction and usage
Oceans
What will you do with the plastic once it’s extracted from the oceans?
We want to give the plastic collected from the ocean a new life. Our plan is to work with partners to recycle the plastic and transform it into durable plastic products. By recycling the collected ocean plastic into useful products that are made with certified plastic from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, we aim to make the cleanup operational costs, to a large extent, financially self-sustainable.
To demonstrate this is possible, we have already transformed the catch from our prototype System 001/B into our first product â sunglasses. To learn more, visit theoceancleanup.com/sunglasses/Â
Please note: the sunglasses are out of stock as of February 2022.Â
How will you extract the plastic from the ocean?
In simple terms: when our system is operating, the Retention Zone acts like a huge bag, collecting the plastic guided into the bag by the systemâs wings. Once the bag is full, we take it out of the water, empty the contents onto the deck of our vessels, and put it back to collect another load.
In a bit more detail: Once we see the Retention Zone is full of plastic, both ends of the system are attached to a single vessel. A buoy is connected to the extraction vessel, activating a choke to close off the Retention Zone opening, allowing it to be rolled onto the ship deck.
The extraction vessel has a crane to lift the Retention Zone, emptying the extracted plastic onto the deck below.
Once the plastic is on deck, the Retention Zone is re-secured and placed into the water to return to cleaning. We have many videos of our extractions on our YouTube channel.
Why do you transport the plastic to land instead of processing it at sea?
After exploring the options of recycling the plastic at sea, our team has determined that processing plastic on land is more practical. Our first catch was made with recycled ghost nets from Mission One made into sunglasses. To learn more, visit theoceancleanup.com/sunglasses/. Â Please note: We are out of stock as of February 2022 and will not make more products of our own. Instead, we will partner with companies that will be using our ocean-certified plastic in their product lines.
Can my company use the plastic you have caught in the ocean?
In October 2020, we launched our first product made with plastic from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch: The Ocean Cleanup Sunglasses. These sold out in February 2022. With this proof of concept, we were able to show that it was possible to make high-quality products from our catch. We want to ensure that the collected plastic continues to be seen as a material with value. By recycling the collected plastic into durable products, we help fund the continued cleanup. We also want to ensure that we have a plan to keep the products out of the environment when they reach their end of life.
We have decided not to be a plastic supplier, but rather we will use the collected plastic as part of a larger-scale partnership with companies who can use it in their products. Our Global Partnership with Kia is a good example. Through this multi-year agreement, Kia will provide funds and in-kind contributions. In addition, their experience in product design, development, manufacturing, and go-to-market strategies will help to create a resource circulation system by integrating part of our catch into their production and value chain process. The end products will be durable to avoid harvested plastics ending up back in the environment. To ensure maximum impact, as our plastic supply is small in comparison to the plastic industry, we take this selective approach with our catch.
To learn more, visit our Waste Management and Recycling page, and reach out to us via our contact form, to discuss collaboration opportunities.
Why don’t you use the plastic for fuel on the vessels?
In line with our waste management policy, our primary focus is on recycling the collected plastic. We are currently exploring alternatives for the fractions of the waste that cannot be mechanically recycled. Turning waste into fuel for the vessels required for our ocean system operations could be a promising option for this reject fraction, but there are many technical and logistical challenges that we would have to investigate prior to implementation.
To read more about what we are doing with the waste collected, see our Waste Management and Recycling page.
Why is the plastic you catch in the ocean so clean?
We sometimes receive the question: why do some of the plastic pieces shown in our System 002 catch videos look so clean, compared to plastic pollution people are used to seeing closer to shore (i.e., washed up on coastlines).
Many factors influence the growth of organisms on the plastic and the weathering of the floating plastic debris at sea. For example, the waters of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP) contain far fewer nutrients when compared to coastal waters. This is because the GPGP is far from land and, therefore, far from key nutrient sources. Furthermore, very little nutrient-rich deep water rises to the surface within this region. Fewer nutrients mean less ideal environment for biofouling â meaning cleaner-looking items.
Additionally, the plastics rub against each other while in the retention zone of the system, meaning barnacle growth on the outside of the objects often falls off.
Regardless, the plastic is not always as clean as it may appear in the catch videos, which generally show the whole catch in one overview rather than zooming in on specific pieces. Biofouling is present on the plastic, especially in cracks and inside. Biofouling is usually more common on parts submerged in the water. The parts that remain at the surface are exposed to more UV radiation and are typically free from biofouling.
Biofouling can be seen under, inside, and in the crevasses of several of the items.
Barnacles in a piece of a basket, extracted by System 002
Additionally, some biofouling is often easier to see when plastic is submerged underwater, as species like sea anemones then spread their tentacles; when they are out of the water, they make themselves smaller and are more difficult to see.
It is also important to note that not all pieces of plastic are the same. It is possible that an object that has been in the water for years has much less biofouling than an object spending only a couple of days in coastal waters due to polymer type and production process. We primarily find fishing gear in our GPGP catch. This gear is made to persist for long periods in the marine environment, often containing additives in the polymers to reduce the amount of life growing on them, ensuring they can stay âcleanâ and free of biofouling even after decades in the ocean.
We have collected a wide variety of plastic items from the GPGP, with varying levels of marine growth. You can check out some items found in this Facebook album , this YouTube video, and this Tweet from Boyan Slat (CEO and Founder).
Rivers
What will you do with the extracted waste from rivers?
As we aim to help tackle the 1000 most polluting rivers, we cannot manage the local waste handling ourselves. There are many challenges to disposing of the waste as facilities and waste diversity vary from country to country; therefore, we implement solutions, in collaboration with partners and governments, according to the current and future waste management capacities of each deployment location. Meanwhile, we continue to investigate solutions to properly treat and dispose of the collected plastic waste in accordance with our internal waste management policy that are affordable, and compliant with local regulations and environmental and social standards. Recycling is preferred, and technical feasibility is being assessed.
Interceptors in operation are helping us to further improve how we approach the treatment and disposal of collected waste while also encouraging local stakeholders to address overall waste management practices and infrastructure.
To learn more about the waste management approach for Interceptors, check out our dedicated blog post on river waste management and see our Waste Management and Recycling page for a general overview.
Are the Interceptors⢠a replacement for waste management?
No, this technology is not a replacement for waste management and infrastructure, nor conscious behavior of plastic production, consumption, and disposal. Governments and many organizations are already focused on improving solid waste management systems. Our aim is to provide an alternative solution which is complementary to the broad range of actions.
Essentially, we are a project, and our goal has always been to put ourselves out of business; therefore, all efforts to care for plastic waste are necessary.
The Ocean Cleanup Organization
How did The Ocean Cleanup come into existence?
In 2011, then 16-year-old Boyan Slat was diving in Greece and was surprised to see more plastic than fish. Together with a friend he explored oceanic plastic pollution and the difficulties of cleaning it up for a high school science project. Boyan remained fascinated by the problem and continued working on his passive clean-up concept during his freshman year at university. This eventually led him to start The Ocean Cleanup.

River research
Are you doing more research on river plastic pollution?
Yes, we are. We know that rivers are the primary source of ocean plastic pollution. High-level modeling enables us to classify which rivers are most responsible. On-site monitoring allows us to validate those classifications and understand where we need to focus our efforts. Find out more about more of our research focus on our Research page and our recent publications on our scientific publications page.
How do you know which rivers are the top polluted ones?
Our research shows that roughly 1000 rivers contribute to 80% of the plastic that enters the world’s oceans from rivers. See our interactive map to see the top rivers and see our update on the research results.

Donate your Flying Blue miles to help enable our team to be where they need to be to further our mission.
Become a Citizen Scientist. Help us understand plastic pollution around the world by using The Ocean Cleanup Survey app to record the plastic you see in your local rivers and streams.
Tag @theoceancleanup on social media when you share your efforts to tackle plastic pollution. We love seeing what you do!
And of course: share The Ocean Cleanupâs mission wherever you can â word of mouth, social media, in your office, and wherever people believe in a future of clean oceans.
Furthermore, we also recommend keeping the following in mind:
Dispose of trash properly; and reduce, reuse and recycle whenever possible
Wash your synthetic clothing as little as possible and use microfiber absorbers when you do.
Lobby to your (local) government to help get more attention for this problem, if you see a lot of pollution in your area.
Organize beach, riverbank, or land cleanups with your friends, family, and neighbors (you can tie the cleanup together with a fundraiser for The Ocean Cleanup). Cleaning up is much more fun when done together!
Thank you for your drive to clean up the ocean â we really appreciate the support!
Can my company sponsor an ocean system?
We currently have one cleanup system in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch â System 03. The aim is to use System 03 as the blueprint for scale-up, pending the learnings from the operations. We will continue researching and optimizing our operations with System 03 before confirming how we will scale up to clean the entire GPGP.
We will need a full fleet of systems to clean up the GPGP effectively. After having scaled up in this patch, we will move on to the other four patches: the South Pacific, the North Atlantic, the South Atlantic, and the Indian Oceanic Gyre (order to be determined based on research).
In the run-up to full-scale deployment, we welcome funders to contribute to having a major impact on our mission to rid the worldâs oceans of plastic.
Please contact us through our contact form if you want to sponsor an ocean system.
How can I buy an Interceptor�
If you are an operator who can facilitate efforts to clean your local waterways, a local government who is ready to actively solve your river pollution problem, or a company who would like to fund this groundbreaking technology â with the aim of ensuring that less plastic enters our oceans from rivers â then we would love to get in touch with you about realizing this goal. Please reach us via our contact form. Â
That said, if there are other solutions that are better suited for your region, we can help to facilitate implementation of alternative options. To learn more about how we want to solve river plastic pollution, possibly with the use of an Interceptor, you can submit an inquiry through our contact form for more information.Â

Purchase Ocean's Eleven on digital and stream instantly or download offline. George Clooney, Matt Damon, Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts and Don Cheadle go for broke to pull off the most sophisticated and daring Las Vegas casino heist ever. Less than 24 hours after being paroled, charismatic Danny Ocean (Clooney) handpicks a top-notch team of smooth operators to pocket $150 million--in one night! The mark: ruthless entrepreneur Terry Benedict (Andy Garcia). Benedict controls three of the biggest casinos in Las Vegas ... and Ocean’s sexy ex-wife (Roberts). In any other place they'd be bad guys, but Ocean and his crew stick to the rules: Don't hurt anybody. Don't steal from anyone who doesn't deserve it. And play the game like you've got nothing to lose. Are you in or out?

Ocean’s Eleven maintains the appropriate swagger and air of cool collectedness, but it’s hard to be impressed with its suavity as it bungles its own caper trail.
May 5, 2024
It’s well - paced and completely entertaining and -- unlike its predecessor -- this take on Ocean's Eleven even has a semimeaningful plot.
October 26, 2023
Is Ocean’s Eleven the coolest film ever made? It’s certainly a contender.
June 22, 2023
Steven Soderbergh and his cool cast accomplish what Lewis Milestone couldn’t with the original Vegas playboy Rat Pack back in the 1960s: they swing to the beat of the heist.
October 15, 2022
Soderbergh luxuriates in the sheer lazy pleasure of a straightforward big Hollywood vehicle. He drives it better than most, but this one stalls on him just the same.
September 17, 2022
Twenty years on, Ocean's 11 has become a time capsule, capturing not only the moment between Las Vegas's split identities, but also the last go-round of the Movie Star era.
December 19, 2021
It's a compulsively re-watchable, funny, exciting, and altogether fun movie, one of the best of director Steven Soderbergh's career. (20th anniversary)

Transcript
[Planet NOAA theme music plays]
SYMONE BARKLEY (HOST): Welcome back to Planet NOAA! I’m your host, Symone Barkley. I’m the National Ocean Service Exhibits Manager and an Education Specialist here at NOAA. Speaking of education, it’s back to school season! Our planet is a living classroom. So pull up a chair for today’s lesson with our NOAA Education experts.
[NOAA in the News theme music plays]
HOST: I’m here with Public Affairs Specialist and Climate Scientist Tom DiLiberto, who’s got the inside scoop on NOAA in the News.
TOM DILIBERTO: Hey, Symone. Hope you’re staying cool in this heat!
HOST: Tom, even as July has come to a close, reports of wildfires continue to grow. And these record high temperatures we’re feeling around the nation are not helping. What is NOAA doing to help firefighters working large wildfires?
DILIBERTO: Great question, Symone. July and August are the peak wildfire months in the US. And since January this year, over 26,000 wildfires have burned nearly 3 and a half million acres of land. That’s already more land than last year, though not even halfway to the acreage burned in the incredibly destructive years between 2020 and 2022 . As of mid-July, there were nearly 70 large active wildfires being managed nationwide, with evacuation orders in effect for residents in parts of Oregon, Idaho, Washington, Montana, and Utah. Organizing resources and crews to fight wildfires is an enormous undertaking. Right now, nearly 19,000 firefighters and members of support crews are assigned to incidents across the nation. Among these crews are specially trained meteorologists with NOAA’s National Weather Service, or NWS. They’re called Incident Meteorologists, or IMETs, and they deploy to wildfires to serve as key members of wildfire incident command teams. These forecasters provide critical real-time weather information that wildfire managers and first responders need to successfully and safely contain fires. IMETs are specially trained to predict fire weather, behavior, and conditions during these conflagrations. As soon as a large wildfire breaks out, wildfire incident commanders can submit a request to NOAA to send one of our 88 IMETs to their site within 24 hours. So, our IMETs are ready to deploy at the drop of a hat with a “go bag” and their necessary supplies. I spoke with IMET Rebecca Muessle, who is working the Falls Fire in central eastern Oregon, which has burned more than 140,000 acres and is located near Burns, Oregon. Here’s what she had to share.
REBECCA MUESSLE: The recent weather pattern that has really driven a lot of our active fire behavior was a record period of high pressure and a widespread heat wave. So that essentially allowed for our fuels – so the grasses, trees, brush – to dry out to exceptionally dry levels. And then on top of that, you have for the Pacific Northwest specifically, there was a very strong cold front that moved through, and we had kind of southeasterly flow and it brought widespread lightning. So that started a significant number of fires. And then just a couple days ago, we had another round of lightning and it equated to over 15,000 cloud to ground lightning starts. When we are here deployed at an ICP, we are here specifically providing weather forecasts for firefighters safety. That is our number one job. Here on the Falls Fire, the incident command post is set at the Harney County Fairgrounds. So if anyone's ever been to a county fair before, you know, it's dusty, there's barns, there's chickens running around. We have cows just next door that are kind of like roosters waking you up at a good old 4:00 in the morning. You know, when we're here at the incident command post, often you are living where you work. So I'm sleeping in a tent in the middle of a field. We're using porta potties. I am actually working in a big red barn. So when I am here working on the fire, I am providing briefings not only to the crews as they're preparing to go out and do their jobs, but I'm also providing weather information for our cooperators, which are members of the general public, electricity companies, ranch owners, so that they can make decisions. We're helping with evacuation status; we’re working with agency administrators from all of the different forest districts. And on my fires, you know, I'm bringing my gear like my line pack, my fire shelter. We have to be prepared to go out in the field. I always take within my line pack, most importantly, are survival things. So water, food. But meteorologically I am carrying two specific things. One is a belt weather kit and in it is very basic non-electronic weather observation tools. So something called a sling cyclometer, which is a metal device that you utilize and you literally get one thermometer wet, the other one's dry, and you swing it around kind of like one of those celebratory kazoo things. And you're getting your relative humidity from that. And then we have, you know, your standard thermometer; we have a compass and the tables that help us calculate it. We also carry an electronic sensor called a Kestrel. And it is a sensor that's handheld. It takes a lot less time to use that. And then often, you know, cameras and things like that, because we get to see actual fire behavior in action and what weather does to fire when it's burning on the landscape.
DILIBERTO: When Rebecca’s dispatch has ended, she will return to the Portland weather forecast office where she is a meteorologist. Remember, wildfire prevention and protection is more important than ever and is everyone’s responsibility. You can visit weather.gov to stay up to date on hazardous weather conditions in your area, including red flag warnings which are issued when conditions are ideal for wildfires to take off if there is a spark…
HOST: Thanks, Tom. Unfortunately, wildfires aren’t the only disasters that we’re on the lookout for. Any news from our Hurricane Hunter fleet since we last chatted about hurricane prep?
DILIBERTO: You bet. Calling all fans of planes, trains, and automobiles – but mostly planes! NOAA will be adding a brand-new, fully-modified G550 aircraft to our fleet. It’ll be specially tailored to help us update hurricane and tropical storm forecasts in the summer and the forecasting of atmospheric river systems along the west coast in the winter, among other atmospheric adventures, or as they’re more accurately called, scientific missions. This sleek new aircraft will have a range of more than 4,000 nautical miles and a max altitude of 51,000 feet, and it’ll be the second of two new G550s that will help us keep communities safe in the face of severe storms. These aircraft are going to be equipped with a ton of high-tech sensors, including a brand-new tail-mounted Doppler radar system. As part of these upgrades, the aircraft crew will be able to automatically launch our new dropsondes, which work like weather balloons in reverse as they’re dropped from the plane into the atmosphere below. And Symone, if you’ll let me get nerdy for a second, a brand new, are you ready for this?? Stepped Frequency Microwave Radiometer will let G550s collect surface wind speed measurements over the ocean in high wind environments, like hurricanes or extratropical cyclones. And most exciting of all for me…a new High Altitude Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit Scanning Radiometer, is going to collect atmospheric temperature and humidity data. Try saying that five times fast! Anyways, adding all of these cool new tools to our fleet will help improve tracking of atmospheric conditions above and around hurricanes and other storms, which is essential for accurate forecasting. The data from aircraft like the G550 will help improve hurricane track and intensity forecasts, which gives decisionmakers more lead time to make crucial choices about evacuations and other storm protections. The first of these two G550s will join our Hurricane Hunter fleet for next year’s hurricane season. So keep your eyes to the sky!
HOST: Ok, let me give it a try. High Altitude Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit Scanning Radiometer. Did I get it? ‘Cause I feel like I got it.
DILIBERTO: You nailed that.
HOST: Yes! [Laughs] Well, thanks for the tongue twister anyway, even though I nailed it, and for your insights, Tom. Always appreciate you.
DILIBERTO: I have to say NOAA in the news was pretty fire this episode.
HOST: Tom, you’re not young enough to pull that off. But I like it, actually. [laughs]
[Did You NOAA theme music plays]
HOST: I’m excited to be joined by our resident trivia expert and NOAA Heritage correspondent Tara Garwood.
TARA GARWOOD: Hey, Symone! Have you caught "Twisters" in theaters yet?
HOST: Tara, you guessed my weekend plans!
GARWOOD: Can’t wait to hear what you think! If you tuned into the last episode of Planet NOAA, Tom chatted a bit about how the NOAA team contributed to the making of the new blockbuster "Twisters," even taking the cast out for a day looking for storms. But for many of our forecasters at the National Severe Storms Laboratory, or NSSL, that may just be a regular day at work. NSSL was founded in 1964, and ever since then, their scientists have worked to understand how and why severe storms form to keep communities safe.
HOST: How spot-on is the original "Twister" compared to NSSL’s work, though? Do we have any scientists hanging out in truck beds?
GARWOOD: It’s closer than you might think, Symone! Fieldwork is a huge part of NSSL’s research. Scientists have been seeking out storms to study them up-close since before any computer-generated models of storms or radar existed. Lots of early NSSL storm research consisted of people driving around in cars with paper maps and taking pictures on slide film, according to Erik Rasmussen, a veteran tornado research scientist and the chief of NSSL’s Field Observing Facilities Support Division.
HOST: Nice! Sounds like we’ve got our very own Helen Hunts and Bill Paxtons on hand.
GARWOOD: I’m a Philip Seymour Hoffman fan myself! We’ll check in with some of our meteorologists and storm researchers about the impact of "Twister" right after this.

SARAH JESTER (GUEST HOST): I’m Sarah Jester, your Planet NOAA Podcast producer and guest host. Good science starts with good education. As back to school season approaches, we’re taking a deep dive into NOAA’s educational programming in the coolest classroom you can find anywhere – our very own planet! I’m here with Louisa Koch, NOAA’s Director of Education. Louisa works with our agency’s amazing array of people, partners, places and information to educate and inspire the public and future workforce about the Earth System. Thanks for joining us, Louisa!
LOUISA KOCH: I'm happy to be here. Sarah, thanks so much for hosting this.
GUEST HOST: My pleasure, Louisa! We’re also here with Sarah Schoedinger, a Senior Education Program Manager with NOAA’s Office of Education. Sarah co-leads the agency’s Environmental Literacy Program, which supports initiatives that educate and inspire young people and adults to become stewards of our planet in the face of climate change and other environmental hazards. Sarah, happy to have another Sarah on board. Thanks so much for being here!
SARAH SCHOEDINGER: Thanks for having me.
GUEST HOST: Also joining us is Mark Wolfgang, a NOAA Teacher at Sea alumni. Mark sailed as a Teacher at Sea in 2017 on a fisheries survey aboard the NOAA Ship Reuben Lasker. He teaches biology, AP biology, and Zoology at Franklin Regional High School outside of Pittsburgh, PA, and is also the spring musical director. Welcome, Mark!
MARK WOLFGANG: Thanks. Hi, Sarah.
GUEST HOST: Hi there. Glad to have you with us today. Rounding out today’s group is Kacey Clayton, a NOAA Hollings Scholar alum and a 2024 Knauss Fellow in the Office of the NOAA Administrator. Prior to her Knauss Fellowship, Kacey worked on climate policy and science communication, and received her masters in Marine Science with a concentration in Marine Policy from the Virginia Institute of Marine Science. Happy to have you here, Kacey!
KACEY CLAYTON: Thanks so much for having me, Sarah.
GUEST HOST: All right. I couldn't be more happy to be celebrating back to school season with such a great group of folks. Could each of you share your first memory of when you knew you might be interested in science as a kid? And what drew you to oceanic or atmospheric science?
KOCH: Well, thanks, Sarah. So my dad was a doctor, but more fundamentally, he was a scientist who loved to explore. Every time we got hurt, he would do an experiment on us. He would say, well, let's see if, you know, if we apply this on the side of the injury or the rash or whatever it was, you know, let's see how that does. So I was the lab rat in many early experiments. And it just made me realize how important it is to be aware of your outside world, to be paying attention, making observations, and learning from what you see. And in terms of what drew me to oceanic and atmospheric science, I spent a lot of time outside as a kid. And I love being outside, the peace that it gives me and taking care of the world we live in. To me, nothing is more important at this time than figuring out what's happening with our planet and figuring out how to get us on a better track. And the ocean, the atmosphere, are essential to finding that pathway.
SCHOEDINGER: So I didn't think of myself as being interested in science or pursuing a career related to science until I was in college, but I was interested in the natural world around me. We used to go on hikes, and I always loved noticing the wildflowers that we would see. And then when I got back home, I would look them up in a field guide. That always fascinated me. I think what drew me to ocean science, which is what I ended up getting a degree in later on in life, was a love of all the beautiful and weird organisms that it produces. And it started with collecting shells and trying to figure out, like, where they came from and which ones they were and, and like, what the life history was of them. So that was what drew me to wanting to know more about the world that was off the beach and below the surface of the water.
CLAYTON: I first fell in love with the ocean in third grade. We had started doing separate science classes from the rest of our subjects and my teacher at the time, who I can only remember her looking exactly like Miss Frizzle – crazy skirts and all – did a sea turtle migration project with us, and I just fell in love. I was obsessed with sea turtles for a few years. I decided at the age of seven, I was going to be a marine biologist, not even really fully knowing what that meant. And then just kind of pursued that dream through middle school and into high school, and really kind of confirmed that science, and especially oceanic science, were what I was interested in. And so just kind of continued to follow that path, and that's what has brought me back to NOAA in a few different ways throughout my career.
WOLFGANG: I want to say that I was first drawn to teaching as a very young elementary student. And I didn't really know where I wanted to go until I had some incredibly inspirational biology teachers in high school that led me to want to become a biology teacher as well. As my love for oceans and the atmosphere – that kind of came through this opportunity of being a Teacher at Sea. You know, I love all of biology, I really have, but, kind of fell in love with this after my incredible experience.
GUEST HOST: One, Mark, I appreciate you bringing up your Teacher at Sea experience, and I'm really excited to dive into that in a bit. And I love the common thread of a figure in your life, whether it's a parent or a teacher kind of guiding you in that sense. And Kacey, I'm jealous that you had a teacher that looked like Miss Frizzle. I used to love the Magic School Bus when I was younger, and that did kind of spark an interest in science in me at an early age, so I love that commonality. Last year, over 330,000 pre-K through 12 students participated in NOAA's supported education programs. And keeping your younger self in mind, as we just discussed, why do you think it's important to expand opportunities for young kids in STEM?
WOLFGANG: I feel that's an important time to expose kids to science, because this is when there is so much curiosity. Students are questioning things and they're looking around and they're so curious and somehow – and although this is frustrating – so often, we drum that out of them. And I think having great resources, especially at young ages, allows kids to become inspired. And I always believe that students don't know about something and they can't care about something until they experience or see something. And these resources allow us to do that in a classroom.
CLAYTON: I feel really lucky that I had the experience with STEM when I did, because it really set me on a path for the rest of my – not only childhood, but also life – that I was really able to kind of have a guiding vision. But without that opportunity to really get that, you know, deep interest early on, I think I would have been a little bit more aimless, and it would have taken me a lot longer to end up where I am, or maybe I would have ended up somewhere different. Having those opportunities when you're young, especially for women, especially folks who we don't often see represented in the sciences, it really gives you an opportunity to see yourself in a career path that you may have not considered before. So I really feel the earlier that you can get students involved in STEM; the more varied experiences within STEM that you can give them, the better that you know we're all going to end up for it.
KOCH: Wonderful. Mark, Kacey, thanks so much for those. You know, just to add to that, the world that we're facing is changing in so many ways. I mean, with artificial intelligence, we're going to be able to get, you know, so much additional information and kids, particularly pre-K to 12 kids, are so curious. Like Mark said, it's an awesome opportunity to help them understand the world around them, how they can shape it, and how they can make it move in a better direction.
SCHOEDINGER: This ocean planet that we live on, called Earth, is a big place. It's a giant system of systems. And science and technology, engineering and mathematics give us ways for understanding. Maybe not the only ways of understanding, but definitely ways of knowing how this big blue marble functions. And there's still a lot that we don't know about how it functions. For instance, we have only explored and mapped about 20% of the ocean, so teaching STEM topics and skills to pre-kindergarten to 12th graders gives those naturally curious minds a way to explore and know the world around them. And who knows what those minds may come up with in terms of solutions to problems that we're already facing, or those that we haven't even seen yet?
GUEST HOST: Yeah, honestly, that reminds me of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. I read the book and saw the – I think it was 1954 or 1955 – but the Kirk Douglas and James Mason movie when I was really young, and I think that's what initially sparked my curiosity regarding the ocean. And learning the statistic later in my life that we've only mapped around 20% of the ocean was mind boggling to me. I mean, honestly, we might still be ready to discover creatures like what Jules Verne was writing about at the time. Sarah, I'd like to talk a little bit about informal education as well. Last year, 2 million individuals participated in NOAA-supported informal education programs. And as the manager of the Environmental Literacy Program, I'd love it if you could give us some background on that program and its connection to informal education.
SCHOEDINGER: So the environmental literacy program at NOAA is primarily a grant program. Those grants support community resilience to climate change and other environmental hazards through both formal K-12 and informal education. Our projects, and we've funded 47 since 2015, have provided pathways for individuals across that broad age range to take action in their communities, making them more resilient in whatever ways are most critical for those communities, whether it's combating drought and wildfires to handling extreme precipitation or flooding, or dealing with the impacts of sea level rise. And all of our projects leverage NOAA science and scientific expertise. You know, providing a mechanism for young people to take action is in itself a hopeful act. I do worry, I sort of caution that we remember that that doesn't shift the burden from those of us who are older, maybe aren't young people like myself anymore, from trying to take action as well. That it's not just a convenient way to shift the burden to young people to take care of the problems that we helped create. But I think we also can be there to stand in support of the work that they want to do.
GUEST HOST: A saying, or rather a line of thinking, that I see tossed around a lot by NOAA scientists and researchers is that we have a very significant responsibility to be good ancestors and leave behind a planet that is healthier than when we arrived on it. And I think working alongside and working with young people is the key there. And you're absolutely correct that the burden can't just be shifted on to them, but that collaboration becomes really, really important, as does giving young people a voice and not shutting it down just because they're young and just because they might not have, you know, a degree in the fields that we're discussing. Do you have any examples of any ELP projects that feel to you like a hopeful act that center young voices and young folks?
SCHOEDINGER; One of my favorite ones is actually based out in Tucson, Arizona, and it involved the installation of rainwater gardens, actually in local schoolyards. This rainwater garden both improved the landscape of the school, reduced runoff into the storm water system…and in Tucson, they go between drought and like monsoons, right. So they'll have these periods of really heavy, heavy precipitation. And it was overwhelming their storm water system. Meanwhile they had all this runoff coming off their buildings and their grounds were barren and brown. And so they were transformed into this beautiful garden that might have even produced fruit or vegetables, in addition to just having beautiful plants that were there that were native. They were adapted to that environment. And it was like a triple win for everybody. Because in addition to making the space at the school more beautiful and maybe even producing food, reducing the runoff into the storm water system so it wasn't as overwhelmed, it created a cooler space, like physically cooler space in the school environment. And the organization that installed these rainwater gardens worked with the teachers and the students to design the garden. And so it became this collaboration, and it was integrated into the curriculum. And then that was like a STEM laboratory long after it was installed.
GUEST HOST: Sarah, I think that’s an extremely powerful example. I mean, you painted such a beautiful picture of what this project ended up creating. And I think creating a lasting, natural classroom in which students can continue to have field experiences is really important because it doesn't just create change at a singular point in time, but it's allowing both formal and informal environmental education to kind of continue indefinitely into the future as new classes of students come in and explore that garden. Louisa, let’s back up a little bit to those 330,000 pre-K through 12 students that have been participating in NOAA-supported formal education programs. I'd love it if you could talk to us a bit about the Office of Education and the actual programs it offers. And with that, how is NOAA supporting both students and teachers in STEM around the nation through these programs, including, to Kacey’s earlier point, those communities that we don't often see represented in the sciences?
KOCH: So the Office of Education has three major roles. One is we have education grant programs, the Bay Watershed Education and Training Program, or the B-WET program. Then we have the Environmental Literacy Grants [Program], and both of these programs support educators across the country bringing resilience education or watershed education into classrooms. We also have programs that support students like Kacey, who are really talented and have, you know, lots of curiosity and want to come and learn. And we support them through scholarships, and internships. And then we also have a convening role with NOAA where we connect and support and leverage our programs, wonderful education programs across NOAA. For example, the Teacher at Sea program that Mark has participated in. Our national marine sanctuaries have amazing places where we can bring people to visit. Our National Estuarine Research reserves also support a lot of education embedded in communities, and they're wonderful living laboratories. Our weather forecast offices invite people to come in and learn about weather. NOAA has so many different education resources.
GUEST HOST: Awesome. Thank you, Louisa. And you're absolutely correct that we have a true NOAA higher education success story on our panel today, which would be Kacey. And Kacey, I would love it if you could talk to us a bit more about your experience as both a Hollings Scholar in undergrad and a Knauss Fellow in grad school. What have these programs been like, and what have you learned from your time in both of these programs?
CLAYTON: Thank you. That's super kind, and I'm not sure I deserve all that praise, but I have had a really great experience with NOAA, both in my undergraduate years and then now post postgraduate degree. So I was the NOAA Hollings Scholar from 2016 to 2018, when I was a junior and senior at the College of Charleston. I had a fantastic experience in the Hollings program. It was my first real career opportunity. and it was great to get that while still in college. I actually interned with the Lake Superior National Estuarine Research Reserve for a summer, and worked on our coastal training program. So I at that point knew that I was interested in policy, and the applied piece of science, and so was able to use that internship to kind of explore what a nontraditional career in science, one that's not research-based might look like, and knew that I was interested in the Knauss Fellowship program, which had actually been mentioned to me when I was a Hollings Scholar. I applied and I was accepted, which is super exciting. And now working in the office of the NOAA administrator, and I work on the infrastructure team, which does all of the Inflation Reduction Act and bipartisan infrastructure law dollars, of which NOAA has over 6 billion. This has also been a really fantastic experience even deeper into the policy area, which is really where I see my career going. Both Hollings and Knauss have allowed me to just grow and experience so many different things, and I just really benefited from the folks around me who I've gotten to work with. I've had some incredible mentors during both experiences that have really been interested not only in what I can do when I'm, you know, either interning or working for their office, but also what I can do past that time. And they really invested in me as a person. and I've just really gotten to benefit from both of these programs.
GUEST HOST: Yeah, absolutely. And, Kacey, I appreciate that you're bringing a science policy and science communications-focused angle to these fellowships and to these opportunities. I think that being able to communicate about science and about the change that our world is undergoing at the moment is really, really important, particularly when a large swath of the population may not have the science background or familiarity with often really complex processes that are happening all around us right now. So having that policy and communications focus, I think is really important and is definitely inspirational to students that may be approaching from a more humanities focused background.
CLAYTON: I think for so long science has been a really kind of insular field. We publish big research papers that are often behind paywalls and use big jargon words. You know, the solutions that we need for the issues that are facing our planet are going to require us to reach past, you know, that paywall, past those big words, and connect with other folks. And I think that the solutions that we need for the problems that are facing our planet are going to require us to work across disciplines, whether that's, you know, social sciences and humanities, whether that's policy and politics. This is a new future. And I think it's something that the scientific community is really starting to embrace.
GUEST HOST: Kacey, I think you make a great point about incorporating more disciplines to kind of level the playing field when it comes to climate science specifically, so that folks can understand the changes that our planet is going through. And so I'd like to open this up to anybody. What role do you think other disciplines can play in deepening and understanding of climate science in our population? And what might those disciplines be?
SCHOEDINGER: I have a philosophy undergraduate degree. Most people don't know that. I think we sometimes get this false competition between STEM and the arts and humanities and it's not helpful because really science is a creative endeavor. And sometimes when you step away from the way that we do science, especially with a sort of Western viewpoint of the scientific enterprise, we step away from that and you look at things through, you know, through the skills of arts or storytelling. It just forces you to think about things in a different way that actually might be inspiration for solving a problem, you know, in a STEM situation.
KOCH: Sarah, I would love to jump in because science needs to connect with so many disciplines. I mean, for example, economics because we need to start taking science more carefully into account, particularly climate change in terms of the economic impacts. Art; we need to figure out ways to convey what we've learned through science in ways that are better able to touch people, better able to connect with them. Social science. Some people don't consider that, you know, a core part of hard science. But that's where we're going to find out how we can change what we're doing, how we can move our approaches in society to navigate a better future. Just so many different fields need to be connected to science.
GUEST HOST: Absolutely and completely agree. So, as Louisa mentioned earlier, the Office of Education has plenty of programming available to teachers, and that the NOAA Education Division doesn't just benefit students, it's about our teachers too. Tens of thousands of educators have participated in NOAA-supported professional development programs each year. And with that, Mark, I would love to ask you a little bit more about your experience as a Teacher at Sea. What kind of work were you engaging in and what was it like to be aboard the Reuben Lasker?
WOLFGANG: So we were doing an anchovy survey. I was out for two weeks, about 12 days on sea. I never experienced something like this before. I was the only educator on board, so, quite nervous as I went and left my family from the East Coast and moved, went to the West Coast. I think one of the really interesting things about it is, in those 12 days, I didn't see a single anchovy. And it kind of made science look a little more real, because in science, we so often in science classes…we so often try to create experiences for students that are so clear cut, with data that just comes out perfectly. It was nice to experience something where the data was kind of messy and muddy, and that zero was definitely a data point that we had to kind of deal with.
GUEST HOST: Mark, if you didn't see any anchovies, I am curious as to what you did see. What were some of the memorable moments you experienced onboard the ship?
WOLFGANG: We always went to fish at night. It was like…my shift was like midnight to 1…to noon the next day. And there was a huge number of an animal called [pyrosomes]. They were just in incredible quantities, but we didn't get a huge number of [anchovies] because of that. We got a lot of squid and things like that, and it was such a great experience to take pictures of those organisms. I went when school was in session, so I was able to communicate back those things with my students that next day in class. And it was really a cool experience to be able to do that.
GUEST HOST: Yeah, that's pretty incredible. And I'll just add for folks that if you're interested in exploring the blogs and the stories from other Teachers at Sea, you can visit the Teacher at Sea website and see in real time what our Teachers at Sea, our 2024 cohort, are cataloging and experiencing right now. Mark, how has being a Teacher at Sea impacted your classroom experience on dry land, whether that was your teaching or how you were engaging with your students or another factor?
WOLFGANG: You mentioned that I teach zoology, so there is an obvious connection between the animals that I talk about in that class and my students. But, I really think of this Teacher at Sea experience as a start of a journey that I've taken over the last 7 or 8 years to try to really dramatically shift the way we teach biology in my district and in districts around us in order to kind of get away from teaching science in little silos where you're teaching it Unit Six and it has this content…instead to try to understand how all these sciences, all are woven together, how one concept is not only applicable in one area, but in all kind of areas of biology. And it's really been a journey of mine to try to figure out how to stop teaching kids to be really good test takers and start teaching kids to be good scientists, understanding how to deal with data and understanding how your knowledge of photosynthesis just doesn't impact that one area, that one content unit – it impacts all of biology. And so it was really the start of that journey, because it was the first time I got to truly experience this kind of raw science, right? Because I went from college directly into the classroom. And so I didn't have a lot of fieldwork experience. And this was a great refresher of that kind of idea in my career.
GUEST HOST: You know, part of being a good scientist, like you mentioned, isn't about getting all the right answers on exams and quizzes, but knowing what questions to ask and what kinds of tools you can use to get answers to those questions. And I think that's really a cross-disciplinary skill as we've been discussing the importance of bringing in more disciplines to make science more accessible. Mark, I think earlier, you also mentioned that students might not always care about something or understand something until they can see it in front of them, or touch it, or have it be tangible. And Louisa, you mentioned the possibility of connecting with people when it comes to science on a human level with disciplines like art. So I'd love to ask all of you, what role do you think informal learning institutions that kind of incorporate multiple disciplines, whether that's museums or aquariums or field experiences through programs like B-WET…what role do these informal learning institutions play in science education and climate literacy?
SCHOEDINGER: There is broad consensus among educational researchers that 80% of our lifelong learning takes place outside of a classroom and formal course of study. If you look at the learning that occurs over a person's lifetime, only 20% of that is that compulsory formal education. The rest of it happens outside of that, and a lot of that takes place in museums, aquariums, zoos, parks, forests, and a lot of other places, even online, where people go because they enjoy it and they can take in as much or as little at that time, and they can take as much time to do the learning as they're comfortable with.
CLAYTON: For me, aquariums were a huge part of my growth as a scientist and as someone who was pursuing a science field. I grew up in the DC area, and while we're not that far from the water, we're also not that close to the ocean either. And like I said, I fell in love when I was seven and, you know, had that marine biologist dream career goal in my head then. My parents were so kind to take me to aquariums all up and down the East Coast. So anytime we went on a trip, we'd always make a stop. And I just got to really be curious and be involved in science and see so many things you just don't often have the opportunity to experience, that I really wouldn't have until college otherwise without these institutions. And then I was able to kind of turn that around when I was in undergrad and volunteer at an aquarium, and be able to be the person who was helping create those connections for students.
KOCH: Kacey, that's so good to hear your personal story. And I think more broadly, aquariums, science museums, science centers are really good at making science fun, exciting, connected to their visitors. And so I feel so lucky that NOAA gets to work with these kinds of institutions because they do such a good job communicating science in ways that touch people.
WOLFGANG: I see these institutions as just great resources for classroom teachers. And I, of course, you know, as a kid, I also went to all those museums and science centers, but as a teacher, I see the resources they have available. And I have also opportunities to bring teachers together from different school districts that are able to share ideas and to see people who are like-minded about being passionate about science education. These types of institutions are in a unique position to create those opportunities for us as classroom teachers.
GUEST HOST: Yeah, Mark, absolutely agree with that. My aunt is a grade school science teacher and I grew up in Chicago, Illinois, so she had a membership to the Museum of Science and Industry, and I would go with her on the weekends and genuinely would learn something new every single time I was there, even though we would go back pretty frequently. And, Kacey, I appreciate you bringing up aquariums. I currently live in the DC area and on a weekend I love to make it out to the National Aquarium in Baltimore. Our host, Symone Barkley, actually played a huge role in shaping a lot of the educational programming at that aquarium, which I got to take advantage of before even coming to NOAA. I remember going there and getting to touch fish, and the, you know, the interactive ponds that they have set up. It definitely changed my perspective on marine life just because I didn't grow up near the ocean. But you can still get kind of up close and personal with these organisms and with these mammals, and it can really shape the way that you think about the planet around you. So I appreciate each of you kind of going through that. I would love to ask each of you if you could share one message with people that are interested in NOAA science, whether it's our oceans, whether climate, atmosphere, or even space weather, whether it's young folks or folks who are no longer in school, what would that one message be?
SCHOEDINGER: Well, I would tell them to know that there is a wide range of careers possible, and some career paths haven't even been thought of yet. So don't try to specialize too early. And don't forget about learning in the arts and humanities. Think about developing skills and knowledge that may not seem directly related to a STEM career pathway, because we just don't know what those careers are going to be tomorrow. They haven't been thought up yet. The second thing I would say is develop critical thinking skills, because those can help you pivot when old ways of knowing and doing things are no longer working. And the last piece of advice I would give is bring your whole self to your pursuit of that interest, because we need as many perspectives and life experiences in our workforce as possible.
WOLFGANG: Well, if I could deliver one message, I would deliver it to teachers. To take advantage of the opportunities that NOAA provides on the educational side, and look for opportunities to grow. I think so often we can get so inundated with the day to day. As a classroom teacher, I'm looking for opportunities to grow as a scientist. To grow as a teacher was just great, and NOAA has powerful resources out there, and I just want to encourage teachers to take advantage of what they have.
KOCH: I would want young people interested in science to know that they can make a difference. We need to better understand how humans are affecting the Earth system and how the Earth system is affecting humans, and we need people to come and help us do that in so many ways. So I want them to know they can make a difference.
CLAYTON: I really love that, Louisa. I would say especially for students to be curious and be open to new things and don't be afraid to say yes to something that's a little bit outside what you see yourself doing, because some of those experiences have been the most important ones for me.
GUEST HOST: Sarah, Kacey, Mark, Louisa – thank you all so much for joining us today.
[Did You NOAA theme music plays]
HOST: Welcome back, Tara. You know, a lot of meteorologists I’ve spoken to have referenced "Twister" as a lightning rod for their career path.
GARWOOD: Yeah, the original 1996 blockbuster has been on our radar for a long time. Symone, did you NOAA that in the decade following the original movie’s release, bachelors degrees in meteorology across the U.S. increased by nearly 50%? If you’ve seen "Twister," you’ll remember all the shots of NSSL forecasters analyzing and sending out tornado warnings in Oklahoma. Well, we spoke to Larry Hopper, Chief of the NSSL Radar Research and Development Division, about the impact that "Twister" had on his career! Here’s what he shared with us:
LARRY HOPPER: Well, the interesting thing is I always wanted to be a meteorologist since I was probably, you know, maybe five years old. I think I had visited my local TV stations in the late 80s and got to meet some of the legendary meteorologists that we had here at the time. And then that kind of just blossomed over time, working on science fair projects, observing different events that had happened, whether I was out, you know, practicing baseball as a kid and seeing, you know, tremendous storms that were moving in that would cause us to have to finish those games or just, you know, pay attention to the TV and the weather. I mean, we've always had a lot of coverage here in Oklahoma City, even dating back to the early 90s for significant weather events. So it was an exciting time from a movie standpoint for filming "Twister" in Oklahoma, which, there’d not been really that many movies filmed in Oklahoma up to that point. So obviously there was a lot of excitement about trying to be, you know, extras in that, and a lot of people were extras. Unfortunately, I think I missed the age cutoff by a year, year and a half or so. But it was something that really was kind of cool that time because not a lot of movies focus on Oklahoma, and even the ones that did weren’t necessarily filmed here. I think the biggest impact that "Twister" had in 1996 on future incoming classes at the University of Oklahoma, is that it really drew a lot more attention than was already on OU in terms of bringing students from other states to OU. Certainly, I think we always had a lot of students here regionally within the state of Oklahoma. But I think in my graduating class and even my incoming class, the vast majority of students were not from Oklahoma because of how many people were attracted to come here from other states. And it wasn't just Texas. It was all over the country, from Virginia to California.
HOST: That’s incredible. We’ll keep riding the winds of "Twister" right after this.
[Leadership Corner theme music plays]
HOST: Let’s take a quick trip to the Leadership Corner. I’m here with Jainey Bavishi, NOAA’s Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere and Deputy Administrator. Jainey is a distinguished expert in climate adaptation and resilience. She recently served in the New York City Mayor’s Office as director of the Office of Climate Resiliency, in addition to serving as the associate director for climate preparedness at the White House Council on Environmental Quality. Jainey is a huge proponent of educational programming and youth advocacy here at NOAA, so I’m really excited to welcome her today!
JAINEY BAVISHI: Thanks so much, Symone, for having me. And thank you all for tuning in.
HOST: Thanks for joining us, Jainey. You’ve served in some pretty transformative roles related to climate change. What does it mean to you to advance climate resilience, conservation and equity in your role as #2 at NOAA?
BAVISHI: Well, thanks so much for the question. You know, I am so privileged and honored to be here at NOAA at this time in this role. I get to come into work every day, and I'm focused on equitable, proactive climate adaptation and resilience to advance a climate-ready nation, healthy and resilient oceans and coasts, and our Blue Economy, and sustainable fisheries. And one of the things that I've been particularly interested in focusing on in my time at NOAA is how NOAA delivers its science and services to communities equitably, and to answer the questions that they're asking in their communities because not everyone is the same or facing the same challenges. And the projects that I'm working on at NOAA and really championing are meant to reach communities that have been historically under-resourced. There are many communities that have borne the brunt of unjust policies. And climate change is a risk magnifier. So we know that climate change will only exacerbate the injustices that communities already face.
HOST: So could you give us an example of a project you're involved in that's helping NOAA reach under-resourced communities?
BAVISHI: Absolutely. You know, last summer I got to attend an event to celebrate a NOAA Office of Education Environmental Literacy Program grant to a community based organization in the Bronx called Nos Quedamos. And Nos Quedamos is working to build resilience hubs in neighborhoods in the area that are low income, historically under-resourced, but also facing some of the brunt of the climate impacts in New York City, from sea level rise to extreme heat. And what was really great to see in that area was how they're engaging local youth leaders to educate their peers and neighbors about these resilience hubs to effectively activate them. It was really inspiring, and one of the things that I'm working on is how we can ensure that our grantmaking dollars at NOAA are reaching underserved communities consistently. There are bureaucratic barriers, you know, cumbersome application processes or just not being in the know about where to find the next grant opportunity that prevent us from reaching underserved communities. And we want to make sure that we're making our grantmaking processes as streamlined as possible, and eliminating those barriers that are within our control as an agency to remove, so that we can make sure that we're equitably distributing these grant funds and reaching more organizations like Nos Quedamos.
HOST: Keeping on the track of building climate resilience for different groups, what work is NOAA doing that impacts young people around the nation and young people interested in advancing climate solutions?
BAVISHI: Just like with Nos Quedamos, I've just been so inspired by the engagement and leadership from youth all around our country as I get to, you know, visit different communities and see the work that's happening. And it couldn't come at a better time, right? Like, we're in this historical moment where we have an unprecedented amount of funding through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Inflation Reduction Act to support community resilience at a scale that we've never seen before. And this allows, you know, our nation's communities to prepare for the impacts of climate change. Some of the exciting work that we've been able to fund are things like the Climate-Ready Workforce program, which I got to help announce just last month. And it’s a program where we're supporting nine amazing projects that will train and place workers in good paying jobs to combat the climate crisis in their communities. It’s $60 million towards nine projects. So what's so exciting about this is that we already have young people that are activated and that are engaged and just playing an important, crucial leadership role in their community around climate action and climate solutions. And then in parallel, we're making investments, the first of their kind, creating more jobs and workforce opportunities in climate resilience, which is a field that we've never really thought about as its own job sector before. And these are good paying, enduring jobs. So I'm just really excited about how these two things converge, about seeing this new generation of climate leaders go into climate jobs.
HOST: Great to hear that NOAA is continuing to engage with young people to build climate resilience and create climate solutions, especially since young people today are going to be the leaders of tomorrow. And yes, that includes even our littles. A couple of months ago, the NOAA Ocean Today team premiered the agency’s first-ever animated series, “Teek and Tom Explore Planet Earth!” And yes, y’all, Tom is our very own Tom DiLiberto – your favorite NOAA in the News correspondent. That's right, I said animated. He has an animated character modeled after him. Teek and Tom, which is intended for 4th through 7th graders, explores how the ocean influences weather and climate on Earth, how NOAA uses cool tech to gather weather data, and what this data tells us about our planet. Jainey, it was great to watch you introduce Teek and Tom at the show premiere. Can you tell us about the show and how it connects with your priorities?
BAVISHI: It was really awesome to be at the premiere of Teek and Tom, and to watch the first episode with NOAA employees and their families. So, yeah, as you said, Tom is our own Tom DiLiberto, a climate scientist at NOAA; he's the star of the show. And Teek is a visitor from another planet who is very curious about Earth's ocean, climate and weather. And together, they learn about our planet and what's needed to protect our planet, so that Teek can take these lessons back to their home planet, Qualos. You know, I think that this is just an amazing example of the ingenuity that it really takes to reach people with information about climate science and data and meet them where they're at. I got to watch Teek and Tom with my five year old daughter at home. And it was just great to see her engage with questions about science while watching this series. And we need a season two because she was ready for more. This is one of the things that I've really been focused on, as I said before, you know, meeting people where they're at with climate science and information, recognizing not everyone's the same. So whether it's kids curious about their planet or doctors who are seeing more cases of heat related illness and need more information to be ready and prepared to care for their patients, or affordable housing developers who need to design their buildings so that they are flood resilient…we've got just this exponential increase in people who need climate information.
HOST: It's great to hear that you and your daughter enjoyed the series. I'm also looking forward to watching it with my daughter, who’s just turned one…
Bavishi: You gotta start them early.
HOST: [laughs] When you're watching this series, listen closely because you might hear a familiar voice. It's me, your trusty host, as you guessed it, a teacher. So make sure you check it out. I hope you all enjoy Teek and Tom. As adults – and as scientists – our legacy is really the world we leave behind for young people. What do you want our young folks to know about what NOAA is doing as it relates to conservation?
BAVISHI: Right now, we're in the middle of an unprecedented season when it comes to ocean conservation, where the Biden administration has led one of the most active marine sanctuary designation processes since the 1990s, with six sites in the designation process, including the Chumash Heritage National Marine Sanctuary in California, which would be co-stewarded with Indigenous people who have stewarded these waters for thousands of years. So it's a really exciting time. And this is all a part of the Biden-Harris administration's America the Beautiful program, which aims to conserve 30% of our lands and waters by 2030. We're so excited about these designation processes and the partnerships that have led to them. This is just an incredible opportunity to advance locally-led conservation and restoration in public, private and tribal lands and waters. And also address threats from climate change, the disappearance of nature; address the inequitable access to the outdoors. But, you know, I am particularly excited also about the momentum this has created with our partners outside of government. And on that note, you know, we just signed an MOU, a memorandum of understanding with Earth Echo, which is one of our nonprofit partners, to enhance youth engagement and ocean conservation. So youth are already so active in this space. You know, they're watching these designation processes, they're actively involved. And we want to expand that and build on that. But we also want to make it accessible. You know, what does conservation success look like after we reach 30%? Maybe it's not the next national marine sanctuary, although, you know, I'm sure there will be more of those, but maybe it's also the salt marsh in a community that's just really important because it's a retention area for stormwater, and it helps keep the roads dry. So I think connecting conservation with community priorities is a space to watch as this work continues, and just seeing the diverse voices that our conservation community is attracting, especially youth voices, is going to be another exciting space.
HOST: Jainey, I'm so glad to hear you talk about national marine sanctuaries and their role in conserving marine habitats and environments, and I know that they can be critical to helping young people connect with the environment and feel confident about wanting to protect them. What's ahead for NOAA this year that gets you excited, and what gives you hope right now as our planet continues to be transformed by climate change?
BAVISHI: I think there's a lot to be excited about, and I think that I'm particularly excited about getting into implementation. You know, the last couple of years, we have been able to deploy a lot of these dollars that came through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act, and now it's time to get to work. And so whether it's, you know, projects through the Climate-Ready Workforce program, which I mentioned earlier, or the Transformational Habitat Restoration program, or, you know, just recently announced the Climate Resilience Regional Challenge, I'm really excited to see those dollars hit the ground and starting to see the impact that they're making in communities. It's really important to sort of get your head around what these dollars mean to some of these communities, right? Let's just talk about the Climate Resilience Regional Challenge for a second. It was a $575 million program funded through the Inflation Reduction Act. We received $16 billion in eligible applications. That means that the demand was 28 times the funding available. And the reason I say that is that, you know, as I was making the calls, to let grantees know that that they had been selected, or their members of Congress, I mean, literally some people just broke down crying on the phone because they said that they had waited a lifetime to receive funding like this. These communities have been laying the groundwork and the foundation for these projects for decades. You know, they've been hard at work already, and these dollars are going to hit at a time when they really can bring this work to the next level. So I can't wait to see what that looks like. I can't wait to see what they do with the money. And again, just, you know, the people that are served; the transformational impact that's made.
HOST: Really glad to hear that, Jainey. And you can visit noaa.gov for more information. Jainey, thanks so much for joining us today on the Planet NOAA podcast. It's been a pleasure.
BAVISHI: I really appreciate this chance to chat with you. And, you know, I'm excited about the work ahead. And, thank you.
[Did You NOAA theme music plays]
HOST: Tara, I’m glad to hear that "Twister" inspired so many people to pursue careers in meteorology. But I have to imagine that folks have some beef with the way storms – and storm chasers – are portrayed in the movie.
GARWOOD: It’s a love-hate relationship, that’s for sure! We would definitely not advise riding out a tornado in a barn filled with blades – or a highway underpass, for that matter. And the flying cows may have been a bit much.
HOST: Ok, see, I was thinking more along the lines of Helen Hunt’s makeup and clothes staying impeccable throughout the movie. That shirt remains bright white through how many tornadoes??
GARWOOD: Yeah, Helen Hunt’s character, Jo, has definitely caught some flack for that. And our meteorologists see that, too. Dr. Elizabeth Smith, a research meteorologist at NSSL, shared the following:
ELIZABETH SMITH: I was really young when "Twister" first came out; I was probably about six. Doing field work in the last 5 to 10 years, I, unfortunately…I'm still one of relatively few women that are often out in the field doing this kind of severe weather fieldwork. Often I'm the only person that kind of looks like me right out there with mostly men. So whenever I'm working with my instruments, I'm, you know, standing in the bed of a truck. Oftentimes from colleagues and also just from members of the public, I would get these comments about how I remind them of Jo. Like, “Oh, what’re you doing, Jo, back there?” when I'm climbing on the back of an instrument or something like this. And in the earlier parts of my career, that was sometimes pretty frustrating, to kind of be reduced to that as the only example of a woman in the field that people have in mind. But my opinion of that has changed as I've been in the field for a longer part of my career, and I have a bit more comfort in my own role. I've been able to look at that a little bit differently and understand how important it was, as it was for me, for people, even in the mid-90s, to see a strong female character doing science in the field and leading others doing science in the field. I am able to be there and do these things because of people that are embodied in the character of Jo. There are women that came before me that have made the space for me to be able to do the work that I do. In the new "Twisters" movie, we see a lot more women in general. We see women students, women that are chasing as part of a hobby, so hobbyist chasers, that are women. We have a main character in "Twisters" as well that is a woman. And somewhat similar to the character of Jo, this woman has a very strong presence in the field and her presence is valued. So it's nice to still see that being carried with the main character, but it's also nice to see so many supporting roles showing that there are women doing this work, and there are women interested in severe weather, and there are women out there collecting these data. In addition to women, there's also just more diversity in general that we see in "Twisters" compared to the cast in the background kind of cast of "Twister." And I think that's also an important part of how we are starting to see some change in our own field and change in the fieldwork that we do, and I'm really hopeful that this is indicative of a future in which anyone that is excited about fieldwork, especially as a scientist excited about fieldwork, has the access and the comfort and safety to go out and get to see this really cool stuff.
HOST: I love that take. You can visit noaa.gov/twisters to learn more about tornado science and NOAA staff behind the scenes of the new "Twisters" movie.
[Planet NOAA theme music plays]
HOST: Thanks for joining us on Planet NOAA, where we explore cool science throughout the NOAAverse and ensure that people are prepared for tomorrow’s planet, today. Tune in next month on your podcast player of choice to dive into marine aquaculture and sustainability.

The ocean is a source of fascination for young and old. So why not encourage that love of exploration and adventure in your budding marine biologist (or baby pirate!) with some ocean movies for kids? From educational documentaries to fantastical adventures, no matter where your child’s interest lies, we’ve got you covered.
There's a lot you can do to keep your child's love of the life aquatic going, from going tide-pooling to making a trip to your local library or aquarium. But many of these movies gives a look at underwater life that can't be achieved on our own, from deep dives to close encounters with sharks. We've also included more fantastical underwater stories, full of mythical creatures and swashbuckling pirates! (I can't stress this enough: it would be irresponsible to exclude the pirates!) Because just as the ocean can inspire a deep love of environmentalism, science, and conservation, it can also inspire whimsy and imagination and that's pretty important, too.
Yes, there's lots of oceanic adventure out there, but this list of films (and documentary series, which we're absolutely counting as movies) is a good start!
Happy watching!

|
With the Oceanographic Museum of Monaco currently offering a 50% reduction on tickets with the code 50OCEANO, we asked our readers to share their favorite sea and ocean films. Here’s what they said:
If you say ‘Name a film to do with the sea’, one in particular quickly springs to mind: The Big Blue, with Jean Reno, directed by Luc Besson in 1988. As witnessed by the many comments applauding “the osmosis of man and the sea”, as Thierry put it on our Facebook page. “I love the part where the actor who plays Jacques Mayol [Jean-Marc Barr], dives into the sea in the middle of the night and swims with a dolphin until the early hours of the morning.”
Advertising
Angéline feels the film highlights in particular “the immensity of the ocean, the beauty of men, the fragility of women. Death, the meaning of our lives. Our destiny, the gift of self.” As for Sébastien, he says he is especially moved by “the strong bond between these extreme free divers and how they are drawn to the ocean depths, the abyss…”
Deep-sea creatures and fierce sharks
The deep sea can give rise to frightening encounters. For Agnès, the film not to be missed is Abyss, with “aliens at the bottom of the ocean, like all the mysteries of this 2nd world, that we would like to unravel. And like in a dream, the feeling of flying and being on another planet.” Jean-Marc also enjoys the science fiction film, directed by James Cameron in 1989 “for the beauty and the discovery of the seabed.”
And while the creatures of the deep may fascinate us, others traumatised a whole generation. This is the case for the shark in Jaws, the famous horror film by Steven Spielberg released in 1975, which Xavier remembers all too well: “it was something new at the time and we shuddered at the idea of coming face to face with a shark.”
In the same genre, Beli mentions the “unbearable suspense” of Open Water, a film that was released in 2004, inspired by the story of Tom and Eileen Lonergan, a couple that was forgotten at sea by their boat while they were diving in Australia.
Big Adventures
Fortunately, the sea isn’t all about dramas and horror stories. Julie recommends Life Of Pi, which she says is “a great story about survival that can be interpreted on many levels. The 2012 film tells the story of Pi, a young Indian who, after a shipwreck, finds himself alone with a Bengal tiger aboard a lifeboat …
Similarly, for one of our readers, nothing beats 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, from 1954, adapted from the novel by Jules Verne: “This film took me on a journey, you could see what a marine expedition might be like (a nod to Prince Albert I). We discovered the seabed for the first time aboard the mythical Nautilus! Also, the film raised awareness of overfishing, even back then.”
Olivier prefers En Solitaire (Turning Tide), with François Cluzet, Guillaume Canet and Virginie Efira. The film tells the story of a man who is taking part in the Vendée Globe race and who, during a stopover, unknowingly takes a stowaway on board: “This film took me on a journey, and it is topical, with the story of this man who hides in the boat to get to a better world.”
Finally, a far cry from fiction, Sandrine and Evelyne were quick to cite Oceans, by Jacques Perrin. A documentary released in 2009 which is, according to Evelyne, “very comprehensive in terms of marine flora and fauna.”

Everyone is entitled to a binge-watch sometimes – think of it as a well-deserved pleasure! Perhaps you want to avoid boredom on a long flight to your favorite scuba destination, enjoy a film night with friends, or pass the time during an extended surface interval. Whatever the reason, if you’re planning a marathon movie session, then why not do it like a diver with some of the best ocean movies of all time? In no particular order, here are 30 binge-worthy movie ideas to get you started.

The Deepest Breath
1. The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004)
This might not be Bill Murray’s most revered movie, but Wes Anderson’s story is certainly watchable. Also, the film was dedicated to Jacques-Yves Cousteau. In the movie, fictional Oceanographer Zissou plans to get revenge on a mythical shark that killed his partner, leading to much offbeat humor and proper belly laughs. Did you know that Bill Murray even became a PADI Open Water Diver before making the movie? He’s one of the numerous actors and Hollywood A-listers that are also certified PADI divers!
2. Into The Blue (2005)
This film tells the entertaining story of a group of young divers who go looking for a legendary treasure ship in the Bahamas. While diving, they stumble upon an airplane wreck full of illegal drugs, leading to an underground storyline of mobs and underwater action. The movie has an abundance of shark footage, most of which was filmed using live, wild sharks in their natural habitat. The movie also stars Jessica Alba and Paul Walker, and the exotic scenery will take you off your couch and into your next dive trip!
3. For Your Eyes Only (1981)
Of course, no underwater movie list can ever be complete without a James Bond movie (or two, or three…!). For Your Eyes Only includes up-close, underwater footage of Roger Moore in both Greece and the Bahamas. But you might not have known that true to good old 1980s filming techniques, most of the scenes were actually filmed on a soundstage, with special effects added later to give the impression of water moving around them.
4. Thunderball (1965)
Turning back the James Bond clock to the nineteen sixties when Sean Connery was the man of the moment is Thunderball. In this Bond classic, Connery dives with sharks in the Bahamas. During filming, clear plastic panels were placed in the water to separate the actor from the sharks. But, behind the scenes, this didn’t work as intended, and the sharks, being the intelligent species that they are, soon found their way around the panels and were swimming up to the cast – of course, aside from the odd fright, everyone lived to tell the tale.
5. Men of Honor (2000)
This Oscar-winning under-the-sea movie starring Cuba Gooding Jr. was a box office hit. Gooding plays Carl Brashear, the U.S. Navy’s first African-American Master Diver. Both discouraged and driven by his instructor (Robert De Niro), Brashear overcomes the institutional racism that was commonplace in the 1940s and his incomplete education to become an operational diver in the Navy. It’s a feel-good movie with a message – and of course, you might want to have tissues on hand for the multiple tear-jerking moments in this scuba flick!
6. The Deep (1977)
This seventies hit movie was based on a novel by Peter Benchley and follows a vacationing couple who stumble upon some mysterious artifacts while wreck diving off Bermuda. It is rumored that the making of The Deep required 9,985 dives, 10,870 hours underwater, and 1 million cubic feet of compressed air – which, if nothing else, definitely puts it in the record books!
7. The Abyss (1989)
Aliens and deep sea diving rolled into one by James Cameron – what’s not to love about that? Did you know that James Cameron has a passion for the ocean, is an avid scuba diver himself, and was the third person ever to dive to the bottom of the Mariana Trench? In The Abyss, a US nuclear submarine sinks near a massive trench after encountering a mystical underwater entity. If the storyline doesn’t wow you, then the amazing special effects still make this deep sea movie a worthwhile watch!
8. The Big Blue (1988)
Released in Europe as Le Grand Bleu, the storyline is around two lifelong friends who grow up to be freediving rivals in the Mediterranean Sea. This is one of the best marine movies to whisk you away to some of Europe’s most impressive tropical locations, and the dolphin scenes are bound to brighten your day!
9. Sanctum (2011)
Based on real-life experience, Sanctum is a cave diving thriller produced by James Cameron. This is one that will have you glued to the screen; however, this tense and gripping movie may not be suitable for those who are claustrophobic or planning to take their PADI Open Water Diver certification.
10. 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea (1954)
Despite numerous remakes over the years, the original Walt Disney Productions version is an all-time classic when it comes to deep ocean movies. From scenes of battling with giant squid to Nautilus divers scouring the ocean floor for sea life to help feed the crew, it’s bound to keep you entertained – which also explains why it won two Academy Awards and has become a timeless classic!
11. Open Water (2004)
Open Water is the story of two people being left behind in the open ocean by their dive boat. As expected, sharks eventually appear, and tensions rise as the couple’s holiday rapidly takes a nosedive. Very watchable but probably not one of the best ocean movies for new divers who are about to embark on their first boat diving experience!
12. Dark Tide (2011)
Halle Berry stars as a “Shark Whisperer” who is haunted by her memories following a shark attack – which she inevitably has to overcome and win the day. This is not one of Halle Berry’s most famous movies, and it didn’t have a big impact at the box office, but it’s still very watchable.
13. Fool’s Gold (2008)
A must-watch scuba movie for Matthew McConaughey fans, filmed in beautiful Australia. McConaughey’s character is a deep-sea treasure hunter who rekindles his relationship with his estranged wife Kate Hudson during a quest to find a Spanish shipwreck full of treasure. This is great family entertainment, despite the questionable diving techniques. The smattering of charm and humor makes for easy and entertaining watching for all ages.
14. Deep Blue Sea (1999)
Deep Blue Sea stars Samuel L. Jackson, whose character takes on genetically modified sharks at an isolated research facility from which the sharks are trying to escape into the open ocean. This one obviously packs both action and suspense as Samuel L. Jackson fights his way to victory over these fishy friends.
15. Finding Nemo (2003)
It’s impossible to be a scuba diver and not have some affinity for this movie. The fish characters brilliantly display real-life characteristics which have been transplanted into their personalities. Perfect family entertainment and equally ideal for teaching kids some fish ID skills, it’s considered one of the best-animated ocean movies by divers and non-divers alike!
16. Sphere (1998)
Sphere is another Samuel L. Jackson deep sea movie that also stars Dustin Hoffman and Sharon Stone as a team of scientists. The team is sent to investigate a 300-year-old spaceship 1,000 feet/304 meters underwater, which subsequently turns out to be an American craft, presumably from the future, sent back through time after a mission through space. The movie is based on a novel by Michael Crichton, and with an all-star cast, it’s certainly worth a watch.
17. Aquaman (2018)
Following years of waiting for an Aquaman movie, this did everything expected of it – non-stop action and adventure that spans the vast underwater world of the seven seas. The storyline is a rather predictable superhero affair, but what’s not to love about that? Definitely one to include in any scuba diving binge-watching session!
18. The Cave (2005)
While on a dig in a Romanian forest, a group of scientists finds a huge abbey built over the entrance to a network of caves. They hire a team of divers who are armed with new high-tech scuba gear (essentially a modified rebreather) that allows them to stay underwater for a full 24 hours. They soon discover they are not alone, as scary creatures make their presence known.
19. Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation (2015)
Known for his characters’ crazy stunts, which he often performs himself, Tom Cruise learned freediving skills to prepare himself for making this MI movie. As a result, Cruise reportedly became a very competent freediver, achieving static breath holds of six minutes – very impressive after just two months of training!
20. Jaws (1975)
You can’t talk about the best ocean movies without also mentioning the famous Jaws franchise. Despite there not being much scuba-related content, this movie forever changed the perception of sharks for many people (not necessarily a good thing). This is often cited as one of the most groundbreaking motion pictures of all time but undeniably contributed to the image of sharks as man-eaters worldwide.
21. Titanic (1997)
Starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, there is no scuba diving, but some of cinema’s most memorable underwater scenes. James Cameron admitted he made the movie only so he could dive the Titanic himself – which he did, using the Mir submersibles and a Russian exploration vessel. The details contained in the movie are reportedly all accurate portrayals of the real vessel (even down to the crockery used in the restaurant), and when combined with Hollywood A-listers and a heart-wrenching love story, it’s a gripping movie and a real feat of film production.
22. The Perfect Storm (2000)
Based on true events from the 1991 Perfect Storm, this epic disaster movie follows a group of fishermen who get caught at sea during the worst possible conditions. Featuring George Clooney and Mark Wahlberg, the film received mixed reviews but is still worth a watch so you can decide for yourself.
23. The Little Mermaid (1989)
This classic Disney musical tells the story of Ariel, a rebellious mermaid who is fascinated by the world above the surface, much to the disapproval of her father – King Triton. Following a deal with an evil sea witch, Ariel meets (and falls in love with) a real human prince. It’s undeniably one of the best underwater movies for kids – and adults if you haven’t seen it yet!
24. The Hunt for Red October (1990)
One of the best ocean movies to watch if you love a good spy thriller, this is a tense adaption of Tom Clancy’s acclaimed 1984 novel. Sean Connery stars as a Soviet nuclear submarine commander heading for the US, while the CIA’s Jack Ryan (Alec Baldwin) tries to anticipate his next moves.
25. Life of Pi (2012)
Ang Lee’s Oscar-winning adaption is a survival tale of faith and friendship. The story follows a teenage boy, Pi, and a Bengal tiger stranded on a lifeboat for 227 days. Blending tragedy, philosophy, and stunning visuals, this is an unmissable, refreshing, thought-provoking alternative to the usual disaster-themed or scary ocean movies.
26. True Spirit (2023)
This ocean movie follows the real-life story of 16-year-old Jessica Watson (played by Teagan Croft) who dreams big! Jessica wants to become the youngest person to circumnavigate the globe non-stop. Her brave journey is fraught with a few mishaps along the way (think storms, loneliness, and even a stray cargo ship). This is a truly inspirational story – especially if you are watching with young adventurers.
27. The Dive (2023)
This remake of Heden’s 2020 Norwegian film Breaking Surface is packed with action from start to finish. As two sisters head out on a diving trip, they couldn’t have known what lay ahead. After a freak underwater incident traps one of the sisters underwater, it becomes a fight for survival and a race against the clock.
28. Avatar: The Way of Water (2022)
If you were a fan of James Cameron’s original Avatar movie back in 2009, then this is one for you. What’s even more impressive is that Kate Winslet reportedly completed a 7-minute breath-hold during filming – a feat for any freediver. With more films reportedly coming soon from the Avatar franchise (and Pandora), combined with an increasing list of Hollywood A-listers, we can’t wait to see what comes next!
29. Blueback (2022)
This heartwarming and inspiring movie is based on the original novel by Tim Winton. The lead character is a young Australian named Abby (Mia Wasikowska) who forms a relationship with a blue grouper while freediving. Her underwater moments with the grouper inspire her to become a spokesperson for coral reef protection in Australia – a nice eco twist combined with incredible cinematography.
30. The Deepest Breath (2023)
This riveting docu-movie, directed by Laura McGann, is packed with incredible underwater footage and tells of the relationship between freediver Alessia Zecchini and her safety diver, Stephen Keenan. Filmed in some of the best freediving locations around the world, it also provides a behind-the-scenes look at the sport of competitive freediving.
Have you got your popcorn ready? After you’ve binge-watched all the best ocean movies that you can, why not join some of these Hollywood A-listers and get started on your scuba diving certification?
It’s as easy as taking an online course, visiting your local dive center to practice in confined water, and then diving into open waters, like those portrayed in these films, to finish off your certification.

<i>Logan Lucky</i> lands somewhere between <i>Magic Mike</i> and the <i>Ocean's</i> trilogy. Turns out, that's one hell of a sweet spot.

Ocean's Eleven had George Clooney emerging from prison in the rumpled tuxedo he was arrested in. Even in the context of the effortlessly hip universe of globe-trotting miscreants the 2001 film set forth, it was a cool look. That look established his character, Danny Ocean, as a gentleman crook — smart and suave and pewter-haired, stealing from the rich to give to himself and his friends because they'll just be so much better at spending money than the assholes they're taking it from.
Steven Soderbergh, who directed the Ocean's trilogy and who returns from a four-year retirement from filmmaking to bookend it with the equally jubilant new heist comedy Logan Lucky, is a savant when it comes to understanding the appeal of his lead actors. He constructed his fantasy of a community of hypercompetent thieves around Clooney's matinee-idol aura — con men as movie stars, or vice versa.
We want Danny to win not because he was wronged in some way, but because he feels he's too suave and too smart to have to submit to the indignities of a daily grind, and Clooney sells us on the fact that Danny’s right.
The main character in Logan Lucky, on the other hand, needs to win because he really needs the money. Jimmy Logan is a working class guy facing a future of unstable employment in an area with few opportunities — a red-state talking point transformed into the hero of a heist flick. The film, which was written by the possibly fictional Rebecca Blunt, is Ocean's Eleven turned inside out. Its characters are amateurs, a trio of siblings from Boone County, West Virginia, who try to rob the Charlotte Motor Speedway during the biggest NASCAR race of the year.
The plan they come up with is no less elaborate than Danny's plan to rob three Las Vegas casinos on the night of the big fight, but it's rigged together with all sorts of duct-tape ingenuity. And it's centered around Jimmy, a man who was struggling to get by before he got laid off from his construction gig due to insurance-related bullshit.
Tatum enters the film elbow-deep in the engine of his truck, and spends the rest of it in camo cargo pants or Carhartts. Soderbergh understands the contradiction of Tatum as a performer — which is that he can come across as a little stolid until he explodes into dance or physical comedy or that million-watt smile. Soderbergh built Magic Mike around Tatum, his history, the way he moves, and his general air as someone who, while not dumb, has gotten used to assuming his strengths are in what he can do with his body rather than his brains. His title character in Magic Mike was a man very aware of the ticking clock on his stripping career, and of the need to eventually move on to something else.
His character in Logan Lucky never had a chance to run out the clock — in high school Jimmy was the quarterback and the prom king, chasing a pro football career before blowing out his knee. Now he walks with a limp and has the meaty solidity of a guy who works with his hands, but whose athlete days are gone. He's still a dreamboat, but a battered and disheartened one — aware his best days might be behind him and that he's got little by way of promise in his future.
It's a future in which he's asked to endure being looked down on by Seth MacFarlane (as a wealthy, British-accented race-car sponsor), a humiliation no human being should have to endure. And it's a future in which he might not be able to see the daughter he adores, Sadie (Farrah Mackenzie). Sadie is Jimmy's whole world, though his ability to see her hinges on his shaky relationship with his since-remarried, white wine-sipping ex-wife Bobbie Jo (Katie Holmes).
It's the desire to stay close to Sadie that finally prompts Jimmy to recruit his bartender brother Clyde (Adam Driver, speaking with a delightfully slow drawl), an Iraq War vet with a prosthetic arm; and their sister Mellie (Riley Keough), a hairdresser with a taste for fast cars; to take part in the caper. With the help of a DIY explosives expert appropriately named Joe Bang (an antic Daniel Craig), who's initially inconveniently incarcerated, they dip their toes into a life of crime.
Where the Ocean's films leapt easily from Vegas to Europe and back again, Logan Lucky is mainly concerned with the drive from Concord, North Carolina, to West Virginia. Its characters don't get to travel, and it's the possibility of Bobbie Jo moving Sadie across state lines to Virginia — where Jimmy can't afford to follow — that gets him moving on his plan.
Any dumb quip you might think to crack about Logan Lucky, the movie already makes for you. At one point a local newscaster nicknames the attempted theft "the hillbilly heist," "the redneck robbery," and "Ocean's 7-Eleven." The film is awash with regionally and culturally grounded details, from the centrality of NASCAR to the child beauty pageant Sadie gets dolled up to compete in. The Logans even conduct some important business at a county fair, and endure a chemical leak contaminating the local water supply with the forbearance of people well-accustomed to being stepped on by corporations.
But the film's humor comes from the characters' eccentricities, not the lives they're living. When Joe Bang forces the Logans to bring his two newly religious brothers (Brian Gleeson and Jack Quaid) in on the job, for instance, the punchline is not their faith but the moral loophole through which they justify participating. They have to be assured that someone they knew had a bad experience when working at the supermarket sponsoring the race, so it deserves to be robbed.
All of this happens to echo the kind of desultory rationalization heist movies often cough up to allow their characters to comfortably be cast as good guys as well as thieves. But that's something Logan Lucky doesn't even bother with. Its characters share a general sense of downward mobility and disillusionment with the American dream, but there's no more effort put into demonization of their targets than there is a Hillbilly Elegy-style castigation of the Logans.
Choosing a setting like Logan Lucky's is practically a politically charged act in itself these days — here's a serious slice of Trump country, complete with noneuphemistic economic anxiety! But the closest the film gets to showing its hand in that regard is only in how little it bothers making a case as to why we should root for the crime it's depicting to be successful. The people the Logans are robbing have lots of money, and they have next to none. What else needs to be said?
Maybe just this: Logan Lucky features a scene in which Tatum cries while listening to a little girl sing "Take Me Home, Country Roads." It's not Clooney in a tux, but it's just as good.

A Plastic Ocean is an epic global adventure following a documentary filmmaker and a world record free-diver as they travel the earth discovering the shocking impact plastic is having on our oceans and the marine animals that live there. They investigate how our addiction to plastic is impacting the food chain and how that is effecting every one of us through new and developing human health problems. The expedition leads the two adventurers to unusual scientific discoveries, heart-breaking truths and important solutions to one of the biggest problems confronting mankind.
Interview with Writer/Director Craig Leeson
Watch A Plastic Ocean on Prime Video and iTunes
Congratulations! Why did you make your film?
The film is the brain child of producer Jo Ruxton and executive producer Sonjia Norman. They came to me in 2010 with concerns about reported vast amounts of plastic sailors were finding in the North Pacific Gyre. Because of my deep interest in the oceans and my documentaries on ocean topics they asked me to look at beaches, wind lines, surfing spots, diving locations and other oceans regions for plastic and see what I could find. Up to that point, I hadn’t noticed anything. Plastic was such a part of my life it had become invisible. But once I started looking for it, it was everywhere. From large pieces to micro plastics. There wasn’t a beach, ocean, dive spot, rock pool or oceans location which didn’t contain plastic.
I realised that if someone like myself, who uses the ocean every day for work and leisure, didn’t realise what a problem this was, then how could anybody else. When Jo returned from an expedition to the North Pacific Gyre with scientific results estimating 46,000 pieces of plastic for every square mile of ocean, I knew we had a problem. We questioned what was happening in the other four gyres on the planet. No one could tells us. There was very little science that explained how bad the situation was, what effects it was having on marine life and how that affected our food chain. So, we decided to take a very large risk and go and find out for ourselves. Our first was a passion shoot for me. I had wanted to film blue whales since I was a child and document their movements. We had an opportunity to do this in Sri Lanka. When we finally found the whales, we also found a large floating slick of plastic where they were feeding. For me, that was all I needed to begin the quest.
Imagine I’m a member of the audience. Why should I watch this film?
The film is an issues-based film, but I wanted to appeal to a wide audience so the idea was to take the audience on a global adventure, to film whales, dolphins, sea turtles, to see people and cultures on tiny islands in the pacific ocean, to peer in to the lives of scientists, fishermen, free divers and the like. We filmed in 20 locations around the planet in four years. The film is basically a series of expeditions linked together. On the way we document the problem of our plastic existence and we demonstrate the effect it’s having on marine life; how micro plastics are being eaten by plankton and getting in to the base of our food chain; how plastic attracts toxins in the ocean which release in to fish and bio accumulate passing up the food chain till it reaches us. And the human health consequences of this.
Act three is devoted to looking at solutions so people understand that as individuals there is a great deal they can do to reverse the 8 million tonnes of plastic that enter our oceans every year. The advanced screenings of the film have had a profound effect on our audiences with many making immediate lifestyle changes. I hope this carries through to all who see the film.
How do personal and universal themes work in your film?
They are very much inter-related. I have a personal interest in documenting whales. In the film, when I find the blue whales I also find this large slick of plastic and I wonder how this could be affecting these filter feeders - animals that cannot tell the difference between krill and plastic. Likewise with free diver Tanya Streeter. Her love of the ocean means she wants to give back, to protect it because ultimately a healthy ocean means her children will have a future. We take a look at villagers in Fiji burning plastic to cook food; people in Tuvalu - an island being swamped by climate change - who discovered plastic in 1978 and are being consumed by it. We look at scientists studying seabirds, rescuing turtles, investigating fish: all have a personal story to tell that contributes to an overall picture. A picture that is shocking. And then we look at how this is affecting populations around the world. We now know that plastic causes all sorts of human health issues. These are becoming critical in many places.
How have the script and film evolved over the course of their development and production?
Documentaries are very difficult to script out perfectly before you begin shooting, particularly when you are working with elements such as animals, seasons, weather. We had a very comprehensive script, but we also didn’t really know what we’d find. We knew what to look for though. Some shoots, the animals didn’t turn up and we had to improvise. We filmed in many extreme locations and some of those we experienced extreme weather - In Tuvalu for instance we were stranded for ten days because of a massive cyclone that approached the island, just missed it but hit Fiji. We ended up with such incredible footage it became difficult to edit the film down. Many sequences that I personally loved didn’t make the final cut because we just didn’t have the room for them in 100 minute feature. I hope we can utilise these sequences in other projects.
What type of feedback have you received so far?
I always expect very subjective opinions to the films I make, because everyone is different and has a different view of the world. But I have not yet received one negative comment about the film. We have had incredible reviews by the media, from science journals like the Lancet to the New York Times, to Variety. And in their reviews they touch on the importance of the science, the importance of the adventure and the need for solutions to provide people with hope - all elements I was determined to inject in to the film to open it to as wide an audience as possible to produce the biggest effect. And at an audience level, we’ve all had people come up to us and thank us for changing their lives. Many have said they went straight home and cleaned their homes of plastic.
One woman who worked in PR said it almost caused her a divorce because her husband couldn’t understand why she had become so obsessed with ridding her life of plastic. We’ve had invitations to present at the Smithsonian Institute and at John Kerry’s One Ocean conference. We’ve presented at science institutions, schools, and corporations around the planet. We have support from major banks who want to take the message to their clients and even from large beverage and bottling companies looking for alternatives to their plastic packaging. I am constantly amazed at the reach of the film.
Has the feedback surprised or challenged your point of view?
I don’t think the feedback has surprised me because I felt so profoundly moved by what I’d seen that I knew if I could capture that and present it to others they would experience what I did. We have been duped by the concept that the most durable product ever made is disposable. It isn’t. And that makes me angry. I see that anger in the audience. What has surprised me is the range of the feedback, from corporations to banks to governments to school children to remote village fishermen on islands off Indonesia. Everyone enjoys the film, feels moved by it and feels empowered to act. And that’s what we set out to do.
What are you looking to achieve by having your film more visible on www.wearemovingstories.com?
As Dr Sylvia Earle says: “If you don’t know you can’t care, but if you do know you can act.” I want as many people as possible to see the film to understand the problem and how it affects their future and more importantly the future of our children. I think this is one of the most pressing environmental issues confronting humans right now. If we don’t reverse our plastic addiction we will kill the resources we rely on for our existence.
Who do you need to come on board (producers, sales agents, buyers, distributors, film festival directors, journalists) to amplify this film’s message?
Everyone of those people you mention. As I mentioned, if I didn’t know about this problem before I started this project I could hardly expect somebody who isn’t immersed in ocean activity to know about it. So, we have to create awareness first and foremost and then we need to change government policy and legislation on how we use plastic. It is a toxic substance and needs to be recognised as such. That means we need the film distributed as widely as possible to get as many eyeballs as possible. The film cost a lot of money to produce and the Foundation set up to continue the work of the film needs funds to market the film and to continue its global education and science campaigns. We need funds to continue this work and to share the results for everyone’s benefit.
What type of impact and/or reception would you like this film to have?
I want to start an entirely new discussion on how we treat the ecosystem we rely on for our survival. The earth is largely a blue place. The oceans provide us with most of our protein, our medicines, our oxygen and our water. Without healthy oceans we will perish very quickly. We need to recognise this and start preserving food stocks, create marine parks where other species can repopulate, stop toxic pollutants from entering the ocean and our food chain and understand that some assets are beyond monetary value. We are the only species that knowingly pollutes its own food source. Other animals work towards keeping the ecosystems they live in healthy. Humans however act like passengers. The reality is the earth is an island just like Tuvalu. We have no where else to go.
What’s a key question that will help spark a debate or begin a conversation about this film?
A recent study by the Centre for Disease Control in the US found that over 92 percent of Americans have plastic chemicals and toxins associated with those plastics in their bodies and their children aged from 6 to 11 have twice as much. This is causing all sorts of endocrine disruptive disorders. Do we really want our kids starting their lives with a toxic download like this?
What are the key creatives developing or working on now?
I’m working with several key producers on presenting a new TV series on big global issues and the solutions to solving those issues. I’m also looking at a documentary idea investigating climate change and how it’s affecting mountains and extreme environments.

Heroic Bloodshed
This action sub-genre is defined by values like duty, brotherhood, honor, redemption, and the protection of the vulnerable. It was initially created in Hong Kong cinema but has since made its way around the world.
Ex. The Killer (1989), Hard Boiled (1992).
Military Action
While some movies may incorporate various military characters, settings, themes, and events, this particular sub-genre focuses on their exploits and suggests these events are entertaining rather than tragic. Some of the best Michael Bay movies come to mind.
Ex. Commando (1985), G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009).
Espionage
Espionage action movies are similar to military action movies in that they’re intended for excitement and entertainment rather than focusing on the political and psychological aspects of espionage. James Bond movies might be the most recognizable but there are plenty of others. Ex. Casino Royale (2006), Mission: Impossible III (2006).
Wuxia Action
This highly specific sub-genre focuses on martial arts as both a form of excitement, but also as a chivalrous act of protection and honor.
Ex. Hero (2002), Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000).
Disaster
Disaster movies are defined by a large amount of destruction, specifically from naturally occurring events, where characters try to survive. If an alien force is the force of destruction, the film will be categorized as science fiction rather than a straight disaster movie. Ex.The Day After Tomorrow (2004), Dante’s Peak (1997).
Adventure
Movies in the adventure genre are defined by a journey, often including some form of pursuit, and can take place in any setting. Some of Steven Spielberg's best movies capture the essence of what makes this genre so exciting.
Ex. Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), Lawrence of Arabia (1962).
Superhero
The superhero movie is defined by characters not only with supernatural abilities but using those abilities for altruistic purposes. If the film has superpowers that are used for questionable purposes, it would be more of a supernatural thriller versus a “superhero” movie. Marvel movies have been dominating of late but they only occupy a small percentage of the best superhero movies ever made.
Ex. Iron Man (2008), X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014).
Traditional
Traditional animation is defined by hand-drawn and painted images that are assembled to animate a cartoon that tells a story.
Ex. Robin Hood (1973), The Flight of Dragons (1982).
Stop Motion
Stop motion animation is defined by taking real objects and adjusting them frame by frame to simulate motion and emotion. Stop motion refers to the style of photography, while stop motion such as claymation and sometimes puppet animation can fall into multiple sub-genres.
Ex. The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993), The Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009) and some of the best stop motion movies of all time.
Claymation
Claymation is a form of stop motion animation, except the subjects used are built specifically out of clay.
Ex. Chicken Run (2000), Early Man (2018) and many of the best Rankin Bass Christmas movies.
Cutout
This is where shapes are cut out and placed on top of one another to make figures and settings, all used to tell a story.
Ex. South Park: Bigger, Longer, & Uncut (1999).
Computer Generated Imagery
CGI is the most common form of modern animation, where modeling programs and software are used to animate cartoons.
Ex. Shrek (2001), Rango (2011) and Pixar's incredible short films.
Puppetry
Puppetry animation is where puppets, including hand, stick, shadow, ventriloquist, and marionettes are used to tell a story.
Ex. Team America: World Police (2004).
Live-Action
Live-action animation is where animation, of any kind, is mixed with real-life subjects to create a single world.
Ex. Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988), Space Jam (1996).
Action-Comedy
The action-comedy sub-genre incorporates humorous actions within the action, using the exciting events in the story for laughs.
Ex. Hot Fuzz (2007), Charlie’s Angels (2000).
Dark Comedy (Black Comedy)
Dark comedy (or Black Comedy) is defined by using attitudes and events that would normally be objectionable to set up humorous situations.
Ex. Very Bad Things (1998), Fargo (1996) and more of the best dark comedy movies ever made.
Romantic Comedy
Romantic comedies (aka Rom-Coms) are defined by comedy derived from relationship frustrations that are intimate in nature. This includes any combination of gender or situation across the sexual spectrum with films that include some of the best romantic quotes ever written. Some of Woody Allen's best movies redefined the genre.
Ex. Sleepless in Seattle (1993), How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (2003).
Buddy Comedy
A buddy comedy is defined by at least two individuals who we follow through a series of humorous events. Often their (platonic) relationship is the main source of comedy in the story.
Ex. Rush Hour (1998), Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle (2003).
Road Comedy
Road comedies are defined by humorous situations derived from a journey along a set path, and often feature a set of stops and characters along the way that forces the protagonist(s) further down the road.
Ex. Planes, Trains, and Automobiles (1987), Dumb and Dumber (1994).
Slapstick Comedy
Slapstick comedy is defined by humor derived from physical movement, harm, or frustration that requires little to no dialogue.
Ex. The Party (1968), Mouse Hunt (1997).
Parody
I’ve decided to put parody, spoof, and satire next to one another because they’re often thought to be synonyms, but truthfully they are not. A parody mocks and specifically targets a single piece of art or connected body of work. A parody is more precise, and more limited.
Ex. MacGruber (2010), Spaceballs (1987).
Spoof
A spoof is broader than a parody because it mocks an entire genre or collection of similar, but separate works. Where parody targets a specific piece of art or entertainment, spoofs target the entire genre.
Ex. The Naked Gun (1988), Not Another Teen Movie (2001).
Satire
Satire movies are the broadest of the three in that it mocks overall ideas, vices, human nature, institutions, or any number of concepts that don’t necessarily have a specific connection to another piece of art.
Caper
The caper sub-genre is defined by a group of criminals, often non-violent, who set out on a heist or job. A caper is often humorous and less serious in nature when compared to the other crime sub-genres. Ex. Ocean’s Eleven (2001), A Fish Called Wanda (1988).
Heist
The heist sub-genre is defined by a criminal, or group of criminals, who set out to steal something valuable, and have a more serious tone when compared to a caper story. The subjects must navigate a set of obstacles and avoid law enforcement, and often the “getaway” is incorporated.
Ex. Heat (1995), The Score (2001).
Gangster
A gangster story follows and explores the world of organized crime. A film may include organized crime, but if the majority of the story doesn't explore organized crime, it wouldn’t fall into this sub-genre.
Ex. Goodfellas (1990), Boyz in the Hood (1991) are just some of the best gangster movies (not to be confused with the best Mafia movies).
Cop (Police)
The cop sub-genre follows a street cop (not a detective) who deals with criminals, crime, and the overall lifestyle as an officer of the law. You might find that some lists will have cop movies and detective movies intertwined, but for our list, we’ll focus on the beat-cops.
Ex. End of Watch (2012), Beverly Hills Cop (1984).
Detective
A detective story follows an investigator or set of investigators, either private or as a representative of a government, and follows the clues and revelations of a particular case, or set of cases.
Medical Drama
The medical sub-genre focuses on the inherent drama of health conditions, the inner workings of hospitals, the relationship between doctors and medical staff, and the medical industry. There are medical procedurals that follow the day-to-day life of health care professionals. Ex. House (2004), Bringing Out The Dead (1999).
Legal Drama
The legal-drama sub-genre is defined by lawyers, judges, and legal complications that may be peripheral but not enveloped by the criminal justice system or matters relating to crime and punishment. While a legal drama may dip into criminal justice matters, the real focus is on characters at a law firm or judges chambers rather than a crime. Ex. The Practice (1997), The Firm (1993).
Political Drama
The political-drama sub-genre focuses on the complications and inherent drama that takes place inside the world of politics. This can range anywhere from local government to national political climates. Ex. Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939), House of Cards (2013).
Anthropological Drama
The anthropological sub-genre focuses on the drama derived from human behavior and society at large, and while the story may feature a central protagonist, the story might focus on a specific culture or a broad representation of society.
Ex. City of God (2002), some of Spike Lee's best movies.
Contemporary Fantasy
A contemporary fantasy story introduces elements of fantasy into or around a world that closely resembles the time period when it was conceived. Urban fantasy can serve as contemporary fantasy but must take place in an urban setting whereas contemporary fantasy can be set anywhere that resembles the corresponding time period. Ex. Harry Potter series (2001-2011), The Chronicles of Narnia (2005).
Urban Fantasy
An urban fantasy is a story introduces elements of fantasy and is set entirely in an urban environment. The urban environment can be real, fictional, modern, or inspired by history, but the story must take place and deal with concepts and themes related to an urban environment. Ex. Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV) (1997), Supernatural (TV) (2005).
Dark Fantasy
A dark fantasy is a story where elements of fantasy are introduced into a hostile and frightening world. If a significant portion of the story takes place in a world that has a range of circumstances, mood, and tone it would most likely be categorized as a high fantasy or general fantasy. Ex. Pan’s Labyrinth (2006), Solomon Kane (2009).
High Fantasy
High fantasy can also be referred to as epic fantasy, and introduces elements of fantasy in a fictional setting, and will include romance, battles, and mythical creatures. High fantasy is the fantasy genre equivalent of a historical epic or a science fiction space opera.
Ex. The Lord of the Rings (2001), Game of Thrones (2011).
Historical Movie Genre List
Historical Genre
The historical genre can be split into two sections. One deals with accurate representations of historical accounts which can include biographies, autobiographies, and memoirs. The other section is made up of fictional movies that are placed inside an accurate depiction of a historical setting.
The accuracy of a historical story is measured against historical accounts, not fact, as there can never be a perfectly factual account of any event without first-hand experience.
Historical Event
The historical event genre focuses on a story that creates a dramatized depiction of an event that exists in popular accounts of history. This is different from a biography in that it focuses on an event.
Ex. Apollo 13 (1995), Lincoln (2012)
Biography
A biography (or biopic) is a story that details the life and is told by someone other than the subject.
A biography will often span a large portion of the subject's life, but in some rare cases, it may focus on the time period where that person’s life had the greatest effect on history and society.
Ex. A Beautiful Mind (2001), Catch Me If You Can (2002)
Historical Epic
A historical epic is the dramatized account of a large scale event that has an attached historical account. They often feature battles, romance, and journeys, and will commonly revise history or provide assumptions that fill in gaps in the account of the historical event. Ex. Ben-Hur (1959), Troy (2004)
Historical Fiction
Historical fiction takes place during a historical time period, and will often take a more liberal approach to representing history for the sake of drama and entertainment. Historical fiction may use real-life events and people to build context, but they’re meant to be accepted as a supposition rather than serve as an accurate historical account. Ex. Spartacus (1960), Titanic (1997)
Period Piece
The difference between a period piece and historical fiction is slight, but the main difference is a general omission or a lack of necessity for real-life characters or events to provide context. Period pieces are merely defined by taking place in, and accurately depicting the time period as opposed to specific lives, events, or accounts.
Ex. The Age of Innocence (1993), Barry Lyndon (1975)
Alternate History
Alternate history is defined by the rewriting of historical events for the sake of speculative outcomes. These movies commonly focus on important, highly influential moments that often lead to alternate futures. Some of these movies may even include supernatural elements. Ex. The Man in the High Castle (2015), Inglourious Basterds (2009)
Horror sub-genres
Horror Genre
The horror genre is centered upon depicting terrifying or macabre events for the sake of entertainment. A thriller might tease the possibility of a terrible event, whereas a horror film will deliver all throughout the film. The best horror movies are designed to get the heart pumping and to show us a glimpse of the unknown.
Ghost
A ghost movie uses the spirit or soul of a deceased creature to introduce elements of horror. These movies can take place in any time period and are only required to evoke terror through the use of ghosts.
Ex.The Frighteners (1996), The Others (2001)
Monster
A monster movie uses a deformed or supernatural creature or set of creatures, to introduce elements of horror. These movies can also take place in any time period or setting, and their only real requirement is that the antagonist is can be categorized as a monster. Ex. The Babadook (2014), Pumpkinhead (1988)
Werewolf
A werewolf movie introduces elements of horror through the use of a human or set of humans that transform into a wolf-like creatures. Sometimes these werewolves have the ability to shape-shift at will, but in other cases, their transformation is dictated by a full moon. The only requirement is the use of the werewolf as the antagonist.
Ex. An American Werewolf in London (1981), The Wolfman (1941) are just some of the best werewolf movies ever made.
Vampire
A vampire movie introduces elements of horror through the use of undead, immortal creatures that drink blood. They can be set in any time and place and must only use vampires as the antagonist. Some vampire movies feature vampires as the protagonist, but this is often used to build sympathy rather than as a device for terror.
Ex. Near Dark (1987) is one of the best '80s vampire movies while Nosferatu (1922) is one of the best vampire movies of all time.
Occult
Occult movies are defined by an extension of pure reason and use paranormal themes to introduce elements of horror. Occult literally translates into “hidden from view” and involves the study of a deeper spiritual reality that extends scientific observation. Ex. Hereditary (2018), Rosemary’s Baby (1968)
Slasher
A slasher story introduces elements of horror through an antagonist or set of antagonists who stalk and murder a group of people, most commonly through the use of a blade or a sharp weapon. The slasher movie is so engrained in our movie culture, even non-slasher movies use some of the same techniques and tropes. Ex. Halloween (1978), The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)
Splatter
A splatter story introduces elements of horror by focusing on the vulnerability of the human body, and an emphasis on gore. Splatter movies often involve torture and attempt to present gore as an art form. Ex. Day of the Dead (1985), Jigoku (1960)
Found Footage
Found footage can be used for any genre, but it is most commonly used in horror and features footage that appears to be an existing and informal recording of events with the purpose of simulating real-life horrific events.
Ex. The Blair Witch Project (1999), V/H/S (2012)
Zombie
The zombie movie has roots all the way back to the '30s but it didn't really kick into high gear until the late 1960s. The general plot of the best zombie movies involves a group of characters trying to survive in a world overrun by zombies. The specific cause for the event ranges from infectious disease to experimental drugs gone wrong. Ex. Night of the Living Dead (1968), 28 Days Later (2002)
Types of Romance Movies
Romance Genre
The romance genre is defined by intimate relationships. Sometimes these movies can have a darker twist, but the idea is to lean on the natural conflict derived from the pursuit of intimacy and love.
Romance Drama
The romance-drama sub-genre is defined by the conflict generated from a romantic relationship. What makes a romance-drama different from a romantic-thriller is both the source of the drama but also the intentions and motivations that drive each character’s perspective. Ex. Revolutionary Road (2008), Blue Valentine (2010)
Romance Thriller
The romance-thriller sub-genre is defined by a suspenseful story that includes and is most likely based around a romantic relationship. Some romantic thrillers can divert into psychological thrillers where the relationship is used to manipulate, but most focus on the characters attempting to make it out of events so that they may be together. Ex. The Saint (1997), Unfaithful (2002)
List of Sci-Fi Genres
Science Fiction Genre
Science fiction movies are defined by a mixture of speculation and science. While fantasy will explain through or make use of magic and mysticism, science fiction will use the changes and trajectory of technology and science. Science fiction will often incorporate space, biology, energy, time, and any other observable science. Most of James Cameron's best movies lean heavily on science fiction.
Post-Apocalyptic
Post-apocalyptic movies are based around the occurrence, effects, and struggle generated by an apocalyptic event. While a dystopian story may incorporate a large war or apocalyptic event in its narrative history, it will include a centralized government that was formed after the event. Apocalyptic movies will not have a centralized government but may feature smaller societies and tribes as part of the story. Ex. 12 Monkeys (1995), 28 Days Later (2002)
Utopian
The utopian genre is defined by the creator’s view of an idyllic world since each person has a unique view of what they deem to be the absence of struggle and incident, but generally, themes included in the movies are peace, harmony, and a world without hunger or homelessness. In the past, utopian movies have been tied to satire because the nature of a story is often conflict, and a utopian society is viewed as an unrealistic concept.
Ex. Gattaca (1997), Tomorrowland (2015)
Dystopian
A dystopian story is one that features a world or society that serves as a contradiction to an idyllic world. Often there is a centralized and oppressive government or religion that dictates the value of citizens on a dehumanizing level, and may or may not incorporate a destructive event that drove the creation of that centralized institution.
Ex. Children of Men (2006), Equilibrium (2002)
Cyberpunk
The cyberpunk sub-genre is defined by a mixture of a desperate society oversaturated with the crime that takes place in a high tech world that includes cybernetic organisms, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence. Ex. Blade Runner (1982), Elysium (2013) are just two of the best cyberpunk movies.
Steampunk
The steampunk sub-genre is inspired by technology created during the 19th century and the industrial revolution and may be set in a speculative future, alternate universe, or revision of the 1800s.
Ex. Howl’s Moving Castle (2004), Mortal Engines (2018)
Tech Noir
Tech noir is similar to dystopian but defined by technology as the main source behind humanity's struggle and partial downfall. There is no requirement for a centralized government, and the only true aspect that places a story in this category is that technology threatens our reality. Ex. The Terminator (1984)
Space Opera
A space opera is defined by a mixture of space warfare, adventure, and romance. The genre got its name from similarities to “soap operas” and “horse operas” due to their collective connection to melodrama. The term “space opera” has no connection to the music of any kind.
Ex. Star Wars: A New Hope (1977), The Fifth Element (1997)
Contemporary
A contemporary science fiction story is set in the actual time period of its conception and introduces some form of a theoretical technology or scientific concept to serve as the story’s main source of conflict. This is different from tech-noir both due to scale and a strict time period.
Ex. Ex Machina (2014), Arrival (2016)
Military
A military science fiction story is defined by a strict focus on the military conflict in a speculative or future setting. While other movies may include space warfare, a military science fiction story will be limited to themes and events directly tied to military service and battle.
Ex. Starship Troopers (1997), Aliens (1986)

A thriller story is mostly about the emotional purpose, which is to elicit strong emotions, mostly dealing with generating suspense and anxiety. No matter what the specific plot, the best thrillers get your heart racing.
Psychological
A psychological thriller focuses and emphasizes the unstable psychological state of the characters inside the story. Often there is a mysterious set of circumstances, and a paranoia, warranted or otherwise, that catalyzes extreme actions from the characters. Many of Darren Aronofsky's best movies explore the dark depths inside the broken psyche of his protagonists. Ex. Gone Girl (2014), Memento (2000)
Mystery
A mystery story can often be connected to the crime genre, but may not involve or use law enforcement or the justice system as the main characters or backdrop for the story. A mystery story is defined by the plot, and both the character’s and the viewer’s relationship with the motivations and reality behind the events that occur.
If you've seen any of M. Night Shyamalan's movies, you know how mystery plays a part. Ex. Prisoners (2013), The Gift (2015)
Techno
The techno-thriller sub-genre is defined by a conflict that takes place for or through Various forms of technology. What makes a techno-thriller different from various action sub-genres is the level of detail paid toward the underlying technical aspects of the technology and its effects.
Film Noir
Some consider the definition of film noir to more of a style than a genre, because there is no requirement to be connected to a crime. There is, however, a natural overlap between style and genre in the best Film Noir movies. The central theme behind the noir sub-genre is a psychic imbalance that leads to self-hatred, aggression, or sociopathy. Recently, Neo-Noir movies have modified these themes to the modern day.
Outlaw Western
An outlaw western is where we follow a criminal or group of criminals as they attempt crimes and evade the law. Often, these movies will portray the outlaws in a somewhat favorable manner.
Revenge Western
This genre is defined by a singular goal and will incorporate the elements of the western genre while the protagonist seeks revenge.
Revisionist Western
A revisionist western challenges and often aims to disprove the notions propped up by traditional westerns. Early westerns often had their own agenda, and revisionist westerns attempt to dissolve and cast aside a commonly one-sided genre.
Spaghetti Western
The Spaghetti Western genre was named such because the films were initially made in Italy or produced by Italian filmmakers. Because these films are defined by their ‘heritage’ they can also fall into many of the other western genres as long as they are Italian built. Here are our picks for the best Spaghetti Westerns of all time.

Sarah: I went to see this movie on Friday, 8 June. That morning, one of my neighbors mentioned hearing that all the reviews she’d seen were really terrible, that it was a “missed opportunity” or some such whatever. I, slightly less-than-entirely caffeinated and therefore lacking neighborly diplomacy, asked if the reviewers who wrote those reviews were men, and if so, I didn’t plan on listening to them because for a large percentage of male critics of any form of entertainment, well, they don’t like it when women win.
I like it a lot when women win.
And there is a fair amount of win in this movie. Wow, is there winning.
The summary is pretty simple: Debbie Ocean, sister of Danny Ocean, who is presumed dead (there’s a grave and everything but of course there’s no body so who knows?) (even the characters acknowledge he might not be entirely dead, and therefore slightly alive) gets out of prison after 5+ years. The film opens with her parole hearing, then skips to her exit as she puts on lipstick, advises a guard what to do with the next shipment coming in, and heads out with $45 in her pocket, saying she can do anything she wants.
She immediately cons her way into some upscale cosmetics, then a hotel room, and then some clothes in a random suitcase – one presumes those items fit her – and her first day out ends with her in the bathtub looking at a hand-drawn list as she drinks wine.
She finds her former partner Lou, played by Cate Blanchett – more on that in a moment – and begins sketching out an outrageous heist. The heist part you saw in the trailers: there’s jewels, there’s the Met Gala so there’s umpty-twelve levels of sparkly glamour surrounding the heist, and there’s the team assembled to pull it off, whom you also saw in the trailers: Rhianna, Mindy Kaling, Awkwafina, Helena Bonham Carter, and Sarah Paulson.
I loved so much about this film. I loved each character’s strengths, and how they built on and complemented each other. I loved the wardrobe – especially Cate Blanchett’s character who needed more screen time just standing still. I really enjoyed the large and small ways in which they took care of each other, and I adored that they were fearlessly conning others and had no shame about that. Everything in society is a con already, especially against women, so why not con harder?
My only major problem was that I didn’t think there was a truly looming, oh-shit moment of peril wherein I thought, nope, they are completely and utterly fucked. Because of that, the slide toward the end seemed less exhilarating than the first 3/4ths of the movie.
I also wonder if Lou and Debbie’s relationship could have been more in the foretext (?) instead of a hint. At one point Debbie mentions that she was going through “a rough patch with Lou” – and their relationship seemed cast as more than friendship, more like the time-worn familiarity of two people who used to be together. I wish that had been more obvious, because hinting when everything else was so very much determined to take advantage of the obvious seems like a let-down.
The thing I remember most is how much fun I had in the theatre, how many moments I was laughing. Even when James Corden, Professional British Puppy, showed up, I didn’t find him too annoying (I typically enjoy very small Corden doses). Heist movies are fun, heist movies with a crew of women are very fun, and this movie in particular was exactly what I wanted, and I enjoyed it thoroughly.
RHG: So my history with the Ocean’s movies is LONG- I love 11 with an unabashed glee and it’s one of my “I know I have it on DVD and streaming but if I find it on cable I’ll watch it” movie. 12 was clearly a lot of fun to make, even if the plot is kiiiiind of a mess, but as a rebuttal, I give you Vincent Cassel. And 13 is just fun.
So you tell me that I get an all lady Ocean’s movie and you give THAT cast, and I am in all the way. ALL. THE. WAY.
Heist movies tend to come in two flavors, kinda rompy, or deadly ass serious. (Den of Thieves and The Town are examples of Deadly Ass Serious. The Ocean’s series, The Italian Job, these are rompy.
I loved just about everything- the relationship between Debbie and Lou, the clear joy Anne Hathaway had in having all these supprotie ladies around her, the pairing of Helena Bonham Carter and Mindy Kaling, which I never expected and now I want them to have a road trip movie.
We also know that my love for Richard Armitage is pure and true, and he was perfectly cast as the handsome but kinda douchey and completely out of his depth dude who got on the wrong side of an Ocean. (Don’t get on the wrong side of an Ocean. You’ll just lose a lot of your money and be tired.)
The thesis of the movie was clearly stated when Lou and Debbie were going over potential candidates for the 7th member of the team, and Lou holds up a picture of a dude, and Debbie says “No dudes. They get all the attention.” instead this was Ladies Doing It For Themselves (the title of my second favorite personal playlist on my phone) and it was glorious.
The only quibble I have, and it’s a fairly minor one, all things considered, is that they didn’t really get to the truly ridiculous level of over the top that costumes for the Met Gala can take. It’s probably a question of finances- that would be incredibly expensive. But it is the kind of place where the Chair of the Gala would wear a $150 million dollar necklace. I’d just expect her gown to be MORE.
(Also you should definitely take the opportunity to watch the documentary First Monday in May, which is about the Met Gala and how it’s put on. It’s fascinating, and I highly recommend it.)
Oh, and Debbie and Lou definitely were in a relationship with each other at some point. 100%. Possibly still. I mean, wouldn’t you?
Sarah: I’m for a B+ on this one. You?
RedHeadedGirl: B+. No question.
Sarah: If you like fun heist films with a lot of glamour and savvy women working together, you’ll really enjoy this one.
So what about you? Did you see Ocean’s 8 this weekend? What did you think?

The world has gone through a lot of changes over the past few weeks in response to the Coronavirus crisis. With most of us being ordered to stay home, we’ve been searching for interesting ways to occupy our time.
As much as we love activities like board games, puzzles, reading and crafts, sometimes we’re in the mood for a movie (and some popcorn, of course!). Movies are great for taking your mind off of things and escaping into a fantasy world for an hour or two.
Here are 10 great movies on Netflix that ocean lovers are sure to appreciate:
Dolphin Tale 2: As a sequel to the 2011 film Dolphin Tale, Dolphin Tale 2 is another dose of family-friendly dolphin goodness. In Dolphin Tale 2, the crew from the original film (which includes stars such as Morgan Freeman, Ashley Judd, Kris Kristofferson, and Harry Connick Jr.) reassembles to find the beloved dolphin, Winter, a suitable companion. If you fall in love with Winter like we did, you may want to check out our dolphin jewelry range (once the credits start to role of course).
Big Miracle: In this heartwarming tale, a news reporter (John Krasinski) and his environmentalist ex-girlfriend (Drew Barrymore) unite to try and save a family of gray whales. The film is not only entertaining— it’s based on the incredible true story of Operation Breakthrough, which took place in 1988.
The Little Mermaid (2018): By now, we’re likely all familiar with Disney’s The Little Mermaid, a 1989 animated film based on Hans Christian Anderson’s classic tale. This beloved story gets a brand new spin with 2018’s live-action film, The Little Mermaid. Though 2018’s The Little Mermaid is inspired by Hans Christian Anderson, you’ll be surprised and delighted by the rejuvenated storyline. If you’re intrigued by the mythic mermaid, you may be interested in learning more about the symbolism of mermaids on our blog.
Hook: What’s better than adventure and intrigue on the high seas? Steven Spielberg’s 1991 film Hook became an instant classic— and it’s not hard to see why! The children of Peter Pan (who is played by Robin Williams) are abducted by Captain Hook. With the help of Tinkerbell and the lovable Lost Boys, Peter Pan must fight to save his kids from the evil Hook.
Mission Blue: In this immersive and thought-provoking documentary, we follow renowned oceanographer Dr. Sylvia Earl, as she works to save the ocean. Dr. Earl’s passion is contagious in this 2014 Emmy-winning film, and it’s an honor to get a comprehensive look at her noble journey. This film is eye opening, and a must-see for ocean lovers everywhere.
Oceans: The whole family will enjoy this awe-inspiring documentary, which gives viewers an up-close look at aquatic life. Narrated by Pierce Brosnan, you’ll love the experience of following whales on their migration journey, swimming alongside a great white shark, frolicking with the dolphins at play, and so much more!
47 Meters Down: While this survivor horror film may not be easy watching, you may want to check it out (after the kids go to bed) if you’re in the mood to explore the darker side of the ocean—and a fictional side at that! Starring Mandy Moore, the film centers on two sisters who get trapped on the ocean floor after their cage diving trip goes terribly wrong. Will they be able to escape before their oxygen supply fades?
Rip Tide: This family-friendly Australian teen drama follows an American teenager who travels to an Australian beach town to live with her aunt. If you’re a fan of heartwarming coming-of-age films set in gorgeous locations (with plenty of surfing and romance!) this movie is for you.
Scales: Mermaids are real: A young girl learns she’s destined to transform into a mermaid on her 12th birthday. This film follows her journey as she comes to terms with her newfound fate, saying goodbye to her family and friends while also trying to evade danger that comes from those that want to capture her.
A Plastic Ocean: For anyone who loves the ocean and wants to learn more about the serious issues that are threatening it, this documentary is a must-see. Filmmaker Craig Leeson begins his journey by searching for the elusive blue whale, and discovers a startling amount of plastic waste in the ocean along the way. Though hard to watch, this movie highlights just how important it is that we all do our part to help the ocean.
For anyone who loves the ocean and is looking for something interesting to watch, the above 10 movies will get you started in the right direction. All you have to do is just add popcorn.
Wishing you and yours a very safe and healthy quarantine, that will hopefully be made a bit more entertaining with the suggestions above. Enjoy!

In the film, Danny Ocean (played by Sinatra) recruits a gang of his old army buddies to simultaneously rob five Las Vegas casinos. Overcoming various obstacles—including the arrival of Ocean’s wife (Angie Dickinson)—the men pull off the outlandish scheme but run into trouble when they try to leave Las Vegas with the money.

Jaws
film by Spielberg [1975]

America’s ‘most Irish county’: a Republican stronghold in flux
Jaws, American suspense and horror film, released in 1975, that was directed by Steven Spielberg and is considered the first summer blockbuster. Based on the 1974 novel of the same name by author Peter Benchley, it tells the story of a great white shark that terrorizes a beach resort town. The film not only broke box office records after its release but also changed the way Hollywood marketed and distributed films, especially those released during the summer.
Summary
Set on fictional Amity Island, the film opens with a shark attack on a young woman during a late-night swim after a beach party. After the local coroner determines the cause of death, Amity Island’s new police chief, Martin Brody (Roy Scheider), orders the beaches closed. Fearing the news will damage the summer tourism economy, Mayor Vaughn (Murray Hamilton) pressures the coroner to change the cause of death to a boating accident and persuades Brody to keep the beaches open. When another swimmer is killed, the beaches close and the town sets a bounty on the shark.

That Groovy ’70s Quiz
After local fishermen catch and kill a shark, Matt Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss), a young oceanographer called in as an adviser, examines it and determines that it is not the same shark terrorizing the town. Hooper tells the mayor that the killer shark is a much larger one, a great white shark that he describes as “a perfect engine, an eating machine.” The mayor ignores him and orders the beaches open.
Another attack occurs during the Fourth of July weekend, and the mayor finally agrees to close the beaches and hire the services of Quint (Robert Shaw), an eccentric grizzled shark hunter. The second half of the film follows Quint, Brody, and Hooper at sea on their epic journey to catch the great white shark.
Production
Jaws was Spielberg’s second feature-length film, after The Sugarland Express (1974). It went well over budget and production time, with many delays and difficulties caused by Spielberg’s decision to forgo the use of a water tank or an inland locale for most of the movie’s ocean scenes. The primary filming location was Martha’s Vineyard, an island off the coast of Massachusetts. It was the first major motion picture set at sea to be shot on the ocean.
Additionally, difficulties with the mechanical sharks constructed for the film prompted Spielberg to find ways to convey the presence of the shark in the water without showing the shark itself. One of these methods was to use foreboding music to signal the shark’s approach. Composer John Williams created an ominous film score—punctuated by a simple but suspenseful repetition of two alternating notes—that became one of the most recognized pieces of music in cinematic history.
Marketing and critical reception

After the film’s completion, it was heavily promoted on television with 30-second trailers in the week leading up to its release. Prior to Jaws and a few other movies of this era, such as actor Charles Bronson’s vehicle Breakout, also released in 1975, most Hollywood studios considered television advertising to be too expensive.
Another newer marketing strategy was the film’s widespread distribution on its opening weekend, in more than 400 theatres across the United States. Before Jaws, films typically first opened in a major city, then debuted in other cities and towns over the course of several weeks. Summertime releases were also typically reserved for lesser-quality films, as audiences at the time tended to avoid going to the movies during the summer.
After Jaws, such new marketing tactics became the standard for so-called summer blockbusters, or action films that attracted younger audiences and were expected to perform well at the box office. Jaws easily broke box office records previously set by The Godfather (1972) and The Exorcist (1973), grossing a then unprecedented $100 million within 60 days.
Jaws earned mixed reviews from critics. A few, however, such as Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times newspaper, praised its strong characterization and performances. Ebert also commended its lack of gratuitous violence, noting in his 1975 review, “It has the necessary amount of blood and guts to work—but none extra.” Many aspects of the film, such as its musical score, became iconic. A line of dialogue spoken by Brody to Quint during the shark hunt, “You’re gonna need a bigger boat,” is considered one of the most famous lines in film history. Equally famous is a chilling monologue by Quint that details his experience as a survivor of the USS Indianapolis, a naval ship whose sinking by a Japanese submarine in World War II resulted in the ship’s surviving crew waiting four days to be rescued as they clung to wreckage in shark-infested waters.
Legacy and honours
The original film spawned three sequels—Jaws 2 (1978), Jaws 3-D (1983), and Jaws: The Revenge (1987)—none of which involved Spielberg or were as well received. It also inspired numerous horror films about “monster” animals in the water, such as Orca: The Killer Whale (1977), Piranha (1978), and Alligator (1980). At the 1976 Academy Awards, Jaws won for best film editing, best original score, and best sound. It was nominated for best picture, but Spielberg was not nominated for directing. Nonetheless, it is the film that signaled his career as a major filmmaker and cinematic storyteller. Jaws is included on the American Film Institute’s list of 100 greatest American films of all time. In 2001 it was added to the National Film Registry, a film preservation program established by the U.S. Library of Congress that selects films of cultural, historical, and aesthetic significance.

Director James Cameron has again plunged into the depths of the sea and returned with Aliens of the Deep, a 3-D documentary of the exotic life on the ocean floor and the potential for even more extreme creatures on other worlds.
The film, which follows the exploration of Cameron and a team of real-life researchers along the sea floor, opens today in IMAX theaters nationwide.
While Deep's three-dimensional format is fun early on during quick flashes of humans and animals - including one fiesty elephant - the film's most poignant views lay thousands of feet down at the bottom of the ocean, which is home to stunning geologic features and a vast array of creatures evolved to live in the complete absence of sunlight.
The creatures, dubbed extremophiles, thrive around scalding hydrothermal vents, where life depends on the chemical processes of chemosynthesis rather than the sunlight-dependent photosynthesis that feeds most plant life on Earth.
The existence of such organisms on Earth has prompted some researchers to ponder whether similar life could exist on Jupiter's moon Europa, which astronomers believe may have an ocean supported by internal heat tucked beneath its icy crust. Deep spends some time detailing NASA's plans for its nuclear-powered Jupiter Icy Moons Orbiter (JIMO) mission and the possible landing of a probe that would melt through Europa's surface to explore its subsurface ocean.
"If this cool biology exists on Earth, then why not at the bottom of some other ocean," Cameron said of the film.
But it's the terrestrial extremophiles that steal the show - a wispy jellyfish appears near invisible before Cameron's cameras while a swarm of white shrimp ambush the dive team's robotic probe 'Jake' - from the varied team of marine scientists, seismologists and astrobiologists accompanied Cameron on deep water dives that spanned both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. At less than an hour long however, little time spent explaining some of the creatures they find - such as an oddly-winged squid - and the forces behind towering geologic formations rising up from the sea floor.
Marine seismologist Maya Tolstoy, who appears in the film and studies the potential connection between deep water life and ocean fault lines, told SPACE.com that while she normally just pitches automated oceanic seismometers over the side of research vessels - they pop up on their own after receiving signals to surface - Cameron's Deep dives gave her a chance to actually see the environment she studies up close.
"It's only logical to try and understand what we find here on Earth, so that we know what we might encounter [in space], and that we'll have the right tools to detect it," said Tolstoy, a researcher at Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory. "It's vital."
Cameron said his next 3-D feature will be "Battle Angel," a science fiction film based on a series of Japanese graphic novels. Ghosts of the Abyss, his 3-D trip back to the lost ocean liner Titanic, opened in 2002.

Everyone try and remain calm as we tell you some very exciting news, Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling are officially teaming up once again, and this time the Barbie duo will be starring in an Ocean's Eleven prequel. Ok, you can start screaming now.
The currently untitled movie was first announced in May 2022 and since then we've been desperate to find out more details. What will the film be focusing on? And who can we expect to see staring alongside Margot and Ryan? Here's everything you need to know about the Ocean's Eleven prequel.
When was the Ocean's Eleven prequel confirmed?
Fans of the Ocean's series will be pleased to hear in May 2022 the Hollywood Reporter confirmed Warner Bros would be heading into production on a prequel for Ocean's Eleven, which was released in 2001 and starred George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Brad Pitt and Matt Damon.
Margot Robbie was confirmed to be producing and starring in the film and will be producing alongside her husband Tom Ackerley.
Directing the new movie will be Jay Roach, who previously directed Margot in the 2019 film Bombshell. Carrie Solomon will be writing the script.
What is the Ocean's Eleven prequel about?
When the film was initially announced all that was mentioned about the plot was that it would be set in Europe in the 1960s.
Since then director Jay Roach has given a few more hints about what we can expect in the movie, telling Associated Press in June earlier this year, "It’s a heist movie still, but it’s very much a love story." He also cited Hitchcock’s To Catch A Thief as an inspiration for the movie.
The Associated Press has now confirmed the movie will be set in Monte Carlo in 1962.
Who is starring in the Ocean's Eleven prequel?
Our favourite on-screen duo Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling are officially set to appear on-screen together after it was confirmed Ryan would also appear in the movie in August 2022.
Roach explained there was some initial hesitation about casting the two together, but knows there's an interest to see their partnership again.
"Originally there were some questions about whether it would be weird to have [Robbie and Gosling] together again after Barbie. But I think there’s just some pairings you want to see again and again," he said.
So far no other cast members have been announced, and given the film is a prequel to the 2001 film it's unlikely to star the cast members of the other Ocean's films.
We'll still keep our fingers crossed for a George Clooney cameo though.

The original 1960-released Ocean’s 11 is the definitive Rat Pack movie, oozing cool from every frame. It was also the first movie all five Rat Pack members – Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Peter Lawford and Joey Bishop – appeared in together.
Legend has it that Peter Lawford first heard the broad outline of the heist film’s story from Hollywood director Gilbert Kay. He, in turn, had heard the idea — about Danny Ocean, who corrals 10 of his fellow World War II paratrooper buddies to rob five Las Vegas casinos in one night —from a gas station attendant. Lawford snapped up the rights in 1958, with William Holden in mind for the lead role of Ocean. When Sinatra heard the plot, he reportedly said, “Forget the movie, let’s pull the job!”
The singer-actor moved into the lead role as the heist’s mastermind. He pulled down a salary of $700,000 ($6 million today) to star.
As the film’s ensemble came together, Dean Martin was cast as wisecracking lounge singer Sam Harmon. And Sammy Davis Jr. took the role of Josh Howard, a vet who becomes a sanitation worker to pull off the con. Lawford signed on as wealthy rake Jimmy Foster, and Joey Bishop took the role of “Mushy” O’Connors. Rat Pack “mascots” Angie Dickinson and Shirley MacLaine also had parts in the film.
Lewis Milestone, director of the antiwar epic All Quiet on the Western Front (1930), helmed the picture.
Renowned director Billy Wilder was one of the writers who worked on the Ocean’s 11 script as a favor to Sinatra. The star thanked Wilder by gifting him with a sketch by Pablo Picasso. Despite script-doctoring by Wilder, most of the scenes between the actors — who had known each other for years by then — were reportedly ad-libbed.
One story goes that as soon as 5 p.m. hit, all of the Rat Packers called, “Cut.” Most of the cast were also performing in the Sands’ Copa Room after shooting wrapped each day, in a show called the “Summit at the Sands.” After the evening performance, the gang supposedly partied late into the night. And the Rat Pack’s wild ways were evident when they showed up on set looking the worse for wear the following day.
No matter – rather than harm the movie, that relaxed attitude to work and love of a party came through on the screen… and cemented the Rat Pack legend forever, long before George Clooney and Brad Pitt reinvented it for a new generation.

|
Heist movies are a summer staple. Time-tested tropes of the genre — the planning montage, the inevitable need to change plans on the fly, the high-speed getaway — have thrilled audiences for over half a century.
One of the greatest heist film directors, Steven Soderbergh, is returning to the world of larceny with Logan Lucky, out Aug. 18. But unlike the heroes of Ocean’s 11, these protagonists aren’t suave, besuited tricksters robbing a casino. They’re so-called hillbillies who have decided to leverage people’s biases to their advantage. Along with Edgar Wright’s Baby Driver, which premiered earlier this summer, Logan Lucky puts a new spin on a classic genre.
Both films are sure to also make you nostalgic for the capers of years past. Here are the 25 best heist movies to catch in theaters or watch at home.
Logan Lucky (2017)
Director: Steven Soderbergh
Why it’s great: Soderbergh returns to what he does best with Logan Lucky, a movie about self-proclaimed hillbillies who are smarter than they let on. The film reunites Channing Tatum with his Magic Mike director and adds Daniel Craig, Adam Driver and Riley Keough to the crew that hatches a plan to rob a motor speedway. With self aware humor — at one point the heist is dubbed “Ocean’s 7-11” — and emotional heft in the form of a young daughter for Tatum, Soderbergh expands on the genre by introducing characters who are rarely allowed to outwit the authorities.
Baby Driver (2017)
Director: Edgar Wright
Why it’s great: No one can drive a getaway car quite like Baby. With a carefully curated playlist — Ansel Elgort’s Baby has tinnitus and plays music constantly to tune out the hum in his ears — and a cohort of crazed criminals (Kevin Spacey, Jamie Foxx and Jon Hamm), this instant classic shifts into high gear during the driving scenes. Baby’s moves behind the wheel are choreographed as carefully as an intricate dance. But Baby Driver is also a love story: The romance between Baby and diner waitress Debora (Lily James) is what gives this film its beating heart.
Fast Five (2011)
Director: Justin Lin
Why it’s great: The best movie in the Fast & Furious franchise is technically a heist film — it just also involves a lot of cars. In Fast Five, Vin Diesel and Paul Walker plan to pull “one last job” (or, you know, one of about five “last jobs”) to finance their escape off the grid. The action flick is filled with classic heist movie tropes: a planning montage, a speed bump that forces the crew to change their plans and a cop hot on their heels. In this case, that cop is a ridiculously jacked Dwayne Johnson infusing the franchise with some much-needed life. This is the first Fast movie where the stunts are delightfully ridiculous: Diesel and Walker jump off the side of a cliff and later drag a giant safe through the streets of Rio. As heist movies go, this one is more brawn than brains.
The Town (2010)
Director: Ben Affleck
Why it’s great: Argo might have won Best Picture, but The Town proved Ben Affleck had real directing chops. The violent film starring Jeremy Renner, Jon Hamm and Affleck centers on the Boston neighborhood of Charlestown. Affleck’s reluctant bank robber Doug desperately wants to redefine himself— much like Affleck, who at the time was trying to reestablish himself as a serious Hollywood player after misfires like Gigli and Jersey Girl. But a threat to his lady love (Rebecca Hall) — who he happened to meet while taking her hostage — sends him on one last very dangerous job. The nun masks are a nice touch, too.
The Bank Job (2008)
Director: Roger Donaldson
Why it’s great: At this point in his career, Jason Statham is best known as an action star. But when he pauses running between fistfights to utter some dialogue, he makes a pretty great robber, too. The film is inspired by a real 1971 bank robbery during which a group of thieves broke into a bank vault full of safety deposit boxes. The story dominated the headlines for a week before completely disappearing from the British media. Why? The movie spins its own conspiracy theory: Statham’s Terry Leather finds dirty pictures of Princess Margaret that are being held by the mob as blackmail material in one of the safety deposit boxes. Her Majesty’s Secret Service wants to destroy the photos, the mob wants to retrieve them and Leather just wants to survive. The film pays homage to The Asphalt Jungle, The Italian Job and Ocean’s 11.
Inside Man (2006)
Director: Spike Lee
Why it’s great: Spike Lee’s most mainstream film to date makes the list thanks to excellent performances from Denzel Washington, Clive Owen, Jodie Foster, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Willem Dafoe and Christopher Plummer. Owen’s career criminal is caught mid-bank robbery, but when Washington’s detective arrives on the scene it becomes clear that the bank robbers planned for a hostage situation all along. Everyone’s a little bit sleazy: the good guys a bit bad, the bad guys perhaps good. The plot takes perhaps one too many twists, but Lee’s style — and love for the New York landscape — takes the film to great heights.
The Italian Job (2003)
Director: F. Gary Gray
Why it’s great: The Italian Job remake pays homage to the original with those omnipresent Mini Coopers but otherwise has little to do with the 1960s film. This movie is more about revenge than the take: The heroes announce to the villain early on that they plan to steal his loot in order to avenge the death of one of their own, a twist on your typical heist film. The film boasts an all-star cast of Mark Wahlberg, Charlize Theron, Jason Statham, Seth Green, Mos Def and Donald Sutherland, who exchange barbs with a delightfully slimy Edward Norton as they gaze over beautiful Italian vistas.
Ocean’s Eleven (2001)
Director: Steven Soderbergh
Why it’s great: Let’s admit it: The original Rat Pack version of Ocean’s 11 was probably a lot of fun to make. But it’s a lot less fun to watch now. Soderbergh cleverly reimagines that film as a brain teaser trilogy that resists the too-many-twists trap. Stars George Clooney and Brad Pitt assemble a ragtag team to bring down a casino — and win back Clooney’s ex, Julia Roberts. Capitalizing on his stars’ charm, Soderbergh’s Ocean’s trilogy set the gold standard for the modern heist film. The first installment remains the best, though Ocean’s 12 is an interesting meta-commentary on how hard it is to make sequels in Hollywood. (It also contains that much loved-and-loathed scene in which Julia Roberts’ Tess pretends to be Julia Roberts.)
Snatch (2000)
Director: Guy Ritchie
Why it’s great: The high-energy movie about London’s underworld starring Brad Pitt, Jason Statham and Benicio Del Toro involves a boxer with an inscrutable accent, seemingly Orthodox Jewish jewelers, Russian gangsters and a priceless diamond. Yes, it may feel similar in style and tone to the director’s first movie, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. But Snatch proved that Ritchie is adept with the genre, especially when he’s cooking up names like Franky Four Fingers and Bullet-Tooth Tony.
The Thomas Crown Affair (1999)
Director: John McTiernan
Why it’s great: The suave remake starring Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo offers a cooler caper: Brosnan’s titular thief steals a $100 million Monet from the Metropolitan Museum of Art in broad daylight — and then later decides to return it in a similar fashion — a move worthy of James Bond himself. But the sexual tension between Brosnan and Russo has less heat than Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway’s romance. This version is more roguish than it is pessimistic, which perhaps is all that a good film about grand larceny should be.
Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998)
Director: Guy Ritchie
Why it’s great: Guy Ritchie’s directorial debut is full of slapstick violence, bizarre misunderstandings and, yes, guns. A group of four friends (Nick Moran, Jason Flemyng, Dexter Fletcher and Jason Statham in his first film role) find themselves on the wrong side of a psychotic porn king when one of them loses a card game. To get out from under the debt, they decide to rob some local gangsters. The pace quickens, the plot gets rather complicated and everything that can go wrong does. Ritchie’s film is a loving Tarantino tribute, but with even more gags.
Set It Off (1996)
Director: F. Gary Gray
Why it’s great: Too few heist movies feature female bank robbers. Thankfully, Set It Off gives us four, played by Jada Pinkett Smith, Queen Latifah, Vivica A. Fox and Kimberly Elise. Deeper than your average action flick, the movie explores how racism, sexism and classism conspire to create dire circumstances for four close friends living in Los Angeles. They decide to start committing crimes in order to better the lives of their families. They don sunglasses and wigs to pull of their heists — and yes, that scene in Girls Trip is a callback to this early Pinkett Smith-Latifah partnership.
Bottle Rocket (1996)
Director: Wes Anderson
Why it’s great: Wes Anderson’s first movie was a heist movie, co-written with his longtime collaborator Owen Wilson, though with all the singular flourishes you might expect from the whimsical director. Brothers Owen and Luke Wilson star as wannabe robbers who get in over their heads when they try to team up with a real criminal (James Caan). Anderson uses the dimwitted charm of his two main characters to begin to work out what will become his signature style.
Heat (1995)
Director: Michael Mann
Why it’s great: Yes, this is the movie that brought Al Pacino and Robert De Niro together onscreen for the first time. But Heat is so much more than a meeting of titans in a memorable diner scene. The L.A. action scenes are spectacular, the supporting cast — including Val Kilmer — engaging and the emotional lives of the characters full. De Niro’s career criminal Neil McCauley instructs his crew to pull one last heist, despite the fact that they know they’re under surveillance by LAPD Lieutenant Vincent Hanna (Pacino). It’s a dark movie about the cost of violence that touches on how tenuous relationships can be.
The Usual Suspects (1995)
Director: Bryan Singer
Why it’s great: Though more a mystery than a true heist movie, The Usual Suspects makes the list thanks to its fabled twists. Five seasoned criminals meet in a police lineup — seemingly by happenstance — and decide to pull a job together. But in the process they unknowingly scam a fearsome criminal, Keyser Söze. The robbers eventually find themselves in a massive shootout, and only Roger “Verbal” Kint (Kevin Spacey), survives. As police probe him for information about Söze, the film sets up an ending that’s impossible to predict. Spacey won an Oscar for the role.
Reservoir Dogs (1992)
Director: Quentin Tarantino
Why it’s great: Reservoir Dogs is classic Quentin Tarantino: profanity, nonlinear storytelling, extreme violence — like, cutting off someone’s ear extreme. The film follows a six criminals — Mr. Blonde, Mr. Blue, Mr Brown, Mr. Orange, Mr. Pink and Mr. White — who join together for a stick-up that goes terribly wrong. The dialogue is as sharp as the knives, and the iconic imagery of those black ties and black sunglasses unforgettable. The film premiered at Sundance and helped earn Tarantino his rabid following.
Point Break (1991)
Director: Kathryn Bigelow
Why it’s great: Kathryn Bigelow’s early cult classic pits Keanu Reeves’ FBI agent — the perfectly named Johnny Utah — against Patrick Swayze’s surfer-turned-bank-robber Bodhi and his crew. But don’t let their surfer bro lingo fool you: The stakes are high, thanks to the surfers’ apparent death wish. At one point someone jumps out of an airplane without a parachute. Such actions scenes help rescue a plot with as many holes in it as Reeves’ bulletproof vest, rendering the movie an adrenaline-pumping fan favorite.
A Fish Called Wanda (1988)
Director: John Cleese and Charles Crichton
Why it’s great: It’s no surprise that Monty Python veteran John Cleese created the funniest heist movie in cinematic history. Jamie Lee Curtis stars as a seductress who teams up with a group of robbers to steal a bunch of diamonds. She flirts all the men into submission while she plots to make off with the jewels herself. The madcap mission goes predictably and hilariously awry, resulting in two dead dogs and a gobbled-up goldfish. Cleese plays an excellent straight-man while the thieves played by Kevin Kline and Michael Palin take unhinged to a new level.
Dog Day Afternoon (1975)
Director: Sidney Lumet
Why it’s great: Based on a true story, Lumet’s film follows a Vietnam veteran named Sonny (Al Pacino) who tries to hold up a Brooklyn bank in order to fund his lover’s sex reassignment surgery. But there’s no money in the safe, and Sonny finds himself taking hostages. He becomes a news sensation, an arc that Lumet uses to explore how the media and public can turn an average person into a celebrity — for better or worse. The tense film was ahead of its time in style and subject matter: Shot in a documentary-like manner still employed by filmmakers, Dog Day Afternoon is an early example of a mainstream Hollywood project that aimed to depict a gay character with complexity and compassion.
The Sting (1973)
Director: George Roy Hill
Why it’s great: When it comes to charisma, it’s hard to top the original dynamic duo: Robert Redford and Paul Newman. Coming off the success of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, the two reunite to play a small time con man (Redford) who seeks out a legendary swindler (Newman). Together, they plan to execute an elaborate sting that will rob a mob boss (Robert Shaw) of his riches, thus avenging the death of their mutual friend. Set to ragtime music, the movie introduces a series of lovable, dapper criminals as they construct and populate a fake underground gambling hall to trap their prey. The Sting is totally unpredictable, but also utterly rewatchable: Redford and Newman’s chemistry buoy the film from intriguing puzzle to unassailable classic. The movie won Best Picture and Best Director at the 1974 Oscars.
The Italian Job (1969)
Director: Peter Collinson
Why it’s great: This stylish movie features a young Michael Caine as a Cockney-accented lothario who travels to Italy to boost some gold. His means of getaway: Red, white and blue Mini Coopers that have since British cultural icons. The cars and Caine’s famous line — “You were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!” — have cemented the film’s place in cinematic history. And the movie ends on what’s either a frustrating or brilliant note: A literal cliffhanger.
The Thomas Crown Affair (1968)
Director: Norman Jewison
Why it’s great: The caper-romance flick is the ultimate in 1960s nostalgia. Steve McQueen stars as Thomas Crown, a bored millionaire who orchestrates a bank robbery in Boston just for kicks. Faye Dunaway plays the insurance investigator assigned to find the mastermind behind the crime. They’re both ridiculously attractive and thus bound to fall into bed together. Their game of cat and mouse culminates in an erotic chess match. (Yes, really.) On the surface, the movie is all glamor — games of polo, drives on the beach and smirking behind sunglasses. But Norman Jewison infuses the film with a layer of cynicism when the two narcissists facing off against each other realize that their lives are utterly empty.
The Killing (1956)
Director: Stanley Kubrick
Why it’s great: The early Stanley Kubrick movie is a triumph in filmmaking. A career criminal (Sterling Hayden) decides to pull one last job before retiring. Kubrick sets up the heist by telling the story from one robber’s perspective before retelling it from another robber’s point of view and so on. By the time the action starts, we’re familiar with the motives of the many desperate men involved in the job. It’s a storytelling trick that has influenced the likes of Quentin Tarantino and won Kubrick acclaim before he ever made A Clockwork Orange or 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Rififi (1955)
Director: Jules Dassin
Why it’s great: Many film critics credit director Jules Dassin with inventing the modern heist film with Rififi, and Dassin only took on the French film after he was blacklisted in Hollywood during the McCarthy era. The movie features one of the most famous scenes in movie history: In a 28-minute sequence, the robbers break into a jewelry store and steal diamonds in total silence. The wordless scene is so meticulous in its details that some countries banned the movie for fear that criminals would use it as an instruction manual. But Rififi made its mark in other ways. The story captures the euphoric highs of executing a robbery and the heart-rending lows of when everything inevitably goes wrong. The Killing and Reservoir Dogs are among the movies that have borrowed elements of the fabled film.
The Asphalt Jungle (1950)
Director: John Huston

More than the deliciously convoluted heist plots and the flashy, Soderberghian direction, the Ocean’s movies rely on their characters. And one of the supreme joys of watching these movies is seeing a bunch of famous people get into character and have a really good time together. The characters are what make the initial recruiting montage in Ocean’s Eleven one of the best in cinematic history, and they make the final moment of that movie—in which everyone gathers at the Bellagio fountain before trickling away, one by one—so perfect.
But the parts that make up the Ocean’s ensembles should not be considered equal—there is a hierarchy here. And with Ocean’s 8 adding a slew of new characters into the mix, now is as a good time as any to determine what that hierarchy is. This has never been tried before—no matter what Reuben Tishkoff tells you.
29. Amita
Played by: Mindy Kaling
Appears in: Ocean’s 8
Amita’s entire arc consists of being competent at her job and wanting to find a man. That’s pretty much it. She has one good moment in the movie—“Oui!”—and otherwise just asks a lot of questions and ends up with her Tinder match in France. Girl, you’ve got $38 million—aim higher! —Kate Halliwell
28. Roman Nagel
Played by: Eddie Izzard
Appears in: Ocean’s Twelve, Ocean’s Thirteen
I saw Ocean’s Twelve a few weeks after my high school creative writing teacher (who was the archetypal Cool High School English Teacher) showed the class Dress to Kill, which is the funniest hour and 55 minutes of stand-up in God’s creation. And I was so jazzed to see Eddie Izzard on the screen that I didn’t realize then what a useless part this is. Roman redeems himself as a functional backboard for exposition in the early scenes of Ocean’s Thirteen, but honestly? Eddie Izzard deserved so much better. —Michael Baumann
27. Willy Bank
Played by: Al Pacino
Appears in: Ocean’s Thirteen
What does it say about Willy Bank that he doesn’t own the best moment in his most memorable scene? After successfully pulling off the heist that will force Bank out of his own casino, and just before he’s robbed of his diamonds, Danny Ocean confronts the man who shook Sinatra’s hand:
Danny Ocean’s “I know all the guys that you’d hire to come after me; they like me better than you,” is the most vicious way anyone in this series has ever dunked on someone. Imagine threatening someone only for them to grab the knife out of your hand, show you it’s made of rubber, and then use it to stab you anyway. That’s how Willy Bank’s time in Ocean’s Thirteen ends. —Shaker Samman
26. Matsui
Played by: Robbie Coltrane
Appears in: Ocean’s Twelve
I’m still not entirely sure what happened during the Lost in Translation scene with Matsui in Ocean’s Twelve, but I’m pretty confident Linus is a rube and Matsui’s proposed heists provide too small of a reward to help them pay back Terry Benedict, even before the Night Fox beat them to it. Is it purposely confusing? Absolutely. But Robbie Coltrane plays the situation perfectly as Linus supposedly calls his niece “a whore, and a very cheap one.” —Samman
25. Debbie Ocean
Played by: Sandra Bullock
Appears in: Ocean’s 8
Here are the few things we know about Debbie Ocean: She comes from a long line of criminals, including her allegedly deceased older brother, Danny Ocean, but excluding her Aunt Ida. She has a talent for high-end scams that feed her need for Bergdorf Goodman merchandise and Plaza hotel rooms. And she somehow speaks German well enough to trade pleasantries with Heidi Klum. Most crucially, the Met Gala heist that Debbie took five years, eight months, and 12 days to plan is driven by revenge, not romance. She’s a measured, highly capable criminal—and has some historic European diamond necklaces under her coat to prove it. —Alyssa Bereznak
24. Livingston Dell
Played by: Eddie Jemison
Appears in: Ocean’s Eleven, Ocean’s Twelve, Ocean’s Thirteen
Livingston Dell, he of the palms so sweaty that he smears the follow-this-or-the-whole-thing-is-cooked map on his hands to near-oblivion, is nobody’s hero. Particularly not his own. The gang’s go-to electronics guy bombs at stand-up comedy, gets called “Radioshack,” and moves back in with his parents to save money: A suave criminal, in short, he is not. The best summary of his character might be the one he morosely bequeaths upon a lost-in-transit Yen: “He’s the modern man. Disconnected. Frightened. Paranoid, but with good reason. It’s too sad to be funny.” Fortunately for us, anyway, that last bit is wrong. —Claire McNear
23. Isabel Lahiri
Played by: Catherine Zeta-Jones
Appears in: Ocean’s Twelve
I imagine the pitch meeting with Warner Bros. regarding Isabel Lahiri went something like this:
Studio: We loved the first Ocean’s movie, and we can’t wait to get a second. You said this one will focus more on Rusty?
Writers: Yes. We can’t wait to flesh out his backstory. So it turns out the love of his life was an investigator who was on his trail from the start but didn’t turn him in because of love, and she doesn’t chase him after he bails through a bathroom window. Now she’s a high-ranking member of Europol! And her father was an accomplished thief.
Studio: Oh, so she must be exceptionally competent.
Writers: Well, sort of. She forges paperwork, misses arresting her ex-boyfriend like a dozen times, and eventually abandons her post altogether because she got caught skirting due process. Also, she misses her dad.
Studio: Perfect. Let’s make sure she’s not in the last film of the trilogy. —Samman
22. Abigail Sponder
Played by: Ellen Barkin
Appears in: Ocean’s Thirteen
I don’t know why she’s so low on this list. Maybe she got dragged into the Ocean’s Thirteen blowback, or maybe I’m just blinded by my crush on Ellen Barkin, which is so gigantic that I’ve seriously considered watching Animal Kingdom on TNT. If the first three Ocean’s movies have a weakness, it’s that they don’t have great bad guys—Terry Benedict is a blank slate, Willy Bank is a post-Heat growlfest from Al Pacino, and Vincent Cassel’s Night Fox, while stupendously fun, is underutilized. Sponder is glamorous without being flashy, imposing without being shouty, and the kind of ruthlessly competent you’d need to be to keep a casino empire running while Pacino’s off barking at shadows. —Baumann
21. Molly Star
Played by: Cherry Jones
Appears in: Ocean’s Twelve
The problem with Linus, in a lot of ways, is that his whiny pickpocket backstory isn’t as compelling as the other guys’—that is, until his mom, Cherry Jones, shows up. I remember being genuinely surprised by this little twist, which is rare in the Ocean’s movies; I am also consistently charmed by Jones’s combination of international con-woman know-how and motherly pride. It’s a single-scene cameo, but it works every time. Also: great hair tie. —Amanda Dobbins
20. Linus Caldwell
Played by: Matt Damon
Appears in: Ocean’s Eleven, Ocean’s Twelve, Ocean’s Thirteen
Poor Linus. All he ever wanted to do was make his parents, a pair of legendary cons (OK, likely legendary cons, as we never get official confirmation with his mother) who are deep in government cover, proud. Unfortunately for Linus, things never quite work out according to plan: Brad Pitt’s Rusty Ryan seems to take it upon himself to flatten Damon on screen, which he does mercilessly and delightfully, and both mom (in Twelve) and dad (in Thirteen) eventually have to bail Linus and pals out of trouble. You get to wanting to tell the kid to lighten up, but, well, if your parents were Cherry Jones and Bob Einstein (a.k.a. Marty Funkhouser), you might have some trouble keeping it together, too. —McNear
19. Terry Benedict
Played by: Andy Garcia
Appears in: Ocean’s Eleven, Ocean’s Twelve, Ocean’s Thirteen
Terry Benedict’s biggest problem is that his normal speaking voice is a cousin of most people’s whisper. He lingers on certain consonants too long, and his casual conversation is conducted at a low decibel level. Ocean’s Eleven is meticulous and deliberate, but among all the disguises and aliases, Terry Benedict seems like the imposter. Can’t he just speak normally? —Juliet Litman
18. Lou
Played by: Cate Blanchett
Appears in: Ocean’s 8
I have to imagine that the character description for Lou read something like “Cate Blanchett smizes in a bunch of great suits. Also, she likes motorcycles.” On one hand, this goes a very long way—the single shot of Lou strutting across the street in a spangly green jumpsuit prompted spontaneous applause from people in my theater. On the other hand, giving Blanchett so little to do should be a federal crime. In the next movie, let her have some on-page sexual tension with something that doesn’t have two wheels. (Debbie is right there, screenwriters.) —Halliwell
17. Basher Tarr
Played by: Don Cheadle
Appears in: Ocean’s Eleven, Ocean’s Twelve, Ocean’s Thirteen
The first time I saw Ocean’s Eleven, I was young enough to not know what constitutes a “good” accent, so I saw Basher for who he truly is: the third-coolest guy in the movie.
“It’ll be nice to work with proper villains again” is the ethos of a great bachelor party, cupping his balls before detonating the EMP is the most relatable moment of the entire trilogy, and “You had one job to do” is by far the most quoted line from the Ocean’s universe. You can take your Don Cheadle slander and shove it up ya knickers. —Danny Heifetz
16. Rose Weil
Played by: Helena Bonham Carter
Appears in: Ocean’s 8
When you cast Helena Bonham Carter for a role, you know the character will end up being 80 percent Helena and 20 percent whatever is on the page. This worked perfectly in Ocean’s 8’s favor, as Bonham Carter transformed a potentially annoying and flighty character into the charming weirdo. Rose’s best moment comes when she makes her Met Gala debut in a ridiculous headdress and gown that looks exactly like something Bonham Carter would wear on a red carpet herself. —Halliwell
15. Turk Malloy
Played by: Scott Caan
Appears in: Ocean’s Eleven, Ocean’s Twelve, Ocean’s Thirteen
If we’re giving out points for heist-related versatility, the Malloy brothers could probably be ranked higher on this list—any good heist could use someone that can fix things, drive a car, wear really absurd but convincing disguises, and distract security guards with balloon-related skirmishing. The more diminutive Malloy brother, Turk Malloy (Scott Caan), isn’t going to be mistaken for a criminal mastermind like the Ocean siblings, but along with his brother Virgil, he is an indispensable part of any good heist. Besides, isn’t elite Ocean’s comic relief a crucial skill in and of itself? —Miles Surrey
14. Virgil Malloy
Played by: Casey Affleck
Appears in: Ocean’s Eleven, Ocean’s Twelve, Ocean’s Thirteen
With apologies with Turk, we’re putting Virgil Malloy just a tick above his brother by virtue of cosmetic bonus points. If Ocean’s 8 taught us anything, it’s that fashion is the franchise’s most valuable currency, and Virgil has it in spades. The dude has an iconically bad mustache—the type typically reserved for B-movie action villains or ’70s porn stars—on the lanky, Urban Outfitters cashier frame of Casey Affleck. It’s kind of endearing. If nothing else, this arbitrary rankings boost can make up for the time Turk crushed Virgil’s really cool remote control monster truck. —Surrey
13. Yen
Played by: Shaobo Qin
Appears in: Ocean’s Eleven, Ocean’s Twelve, Ocean’s Thirteen, Ocean’s 8
So much of the success of the Ocean’s gang rests on pretty white men in suits having galactic quantities of self-confidence. And while that’s fun, I don’t know if you’d call that skill, necessarily. You know who’s skilled? My man the Amazing Yen.
In such a talky, quippy franchise, you need at least one guy who can pull his weight silently, or in Yen’s case, speaking mostly in Chinese. When he does speak English, it’s mostly in profanities, and to great effect: His “Where the fuck you been?” to Danny and Linus in Ocean’s Eleven is one of the great “you get one F-bomb, use it wisely” moments in a PG-13 movie. Yen is like a great bench player: He doesn’t need many shots, but he can score and improve the players around him when he does get into the game. Great ensembles are built on such characters. —Baumann
12. Constance
Played by: Awkwafina
Appears in: Ocean’s 8
Ocean’s 8 has the tone of a comedy throughout, but it only rarely delivers truly funny moments. Most of these are thanks to Awkwafina’s Constance, who speaks for the sighted population when she declares that Debbie’s probably-not-dead brother Danny is hot. (Look, someone had to say it.) Between stealing accessories left and right and advising Amita on the finer points of Tinder, Constance injects some much-needed humor into the movie’s light-hearted, not-quite-funny banter. You’d subscribe to her YouTube channel. Don’t lie. —Halliwell
11. Nine Ball
Played by: Rihanna
Appears in: Ocean’s 8
It’s Rihanna; it’s Rihanna as a hacker—that feels like a good enough argument for why Nine Ball ranks this high, but OK, fine, I’ll extrapolate. The funniest moment in Ocean’s 8 is when RiRi is cruising the Facebook page of a security exec looking for a way to exploit him. Looking over his way-too-many posts devoted to his Wheaten Terrier, Rihanna whispers to no one, “You poor man.” It’s perfect. Also, Nine Ball is the only reason Debbie and Co. are able to make a facsimile of the Toussaint necklace, and she’s also the only reason they’re able to find a way around the necklace’s security magnet—so she’s also a valuable team player. —Andrew Gruttadaro
10. Tammy
Played by: Sarah Paulson
Appears in: Ocean’s 8
Tammy is the secret weapon that keeps Ocean’s 8 running smoothly, Peter Pan collars and all. I want a Solo-style prequel about her former life robbing trucks on the highway, with Debbie at her side and the wind in her perfectly balayaged hair. I also require way more background on how she runs an illegal business out of her garage without her husband’s knowledge. And what is this business she’s running at the end of the movie—as The Ringer’s Alyssa Bereznak asked, is it an Amazon competitor? In short, give me Tammy vs. Jeff Bezos in Ocean’s 9 or I walk. —Halliwell
9. Bruce Willis
Played by: Bruce Willis
Appears in: Ocean’s Twelve
Rumor has it that Bruce Willis was originally offered the part of Danny Ocean, but he graciously turned it down so that we could all watch this scene from Ocean’s Twelve:
I will embed this clip in every blog post I can. It’s quintessential Ocean’s: giant movie stars making fun of themselves, and also each other, while also knowing that paying audiences are entirely delighted to watch them joke about SpongeBob and Taos. Then, presumably, they all went out and got Limoncello-drunk in Rome together. Thank you to Bruce Willis the Character for making this possible. —Dobbins
8. Daphne Kluger
Played by: Anne Hathaway
Appears in: Ocean’s 8
It’s hard to imagine why an actress as rich and famous and fawned over as actress Daphne Kluger might want to be part of a criminal operation. But over the course of the Ocean’s 8 heist, it becomes clear that—in addition to craving attention from the press and the public—the over-the-top star also enjoys stirring up and starring in real-life dramas, too. Her abilities to feign utter cluelessness and produce real vomit are the necessary final elements to Debbie Ocean’s masterfully constructed Met Gala robbery. And as a bonus prize to her generous group cut, she picks up the “close female friends” she so desired along the way. —Bereznak
7. Danny Ocean
Played by: George Clooney
Appears in: Ocean’s Eleven, Ocean’s Twelve, Ocean’s Thirteen
Rumors about who could have played the titular Ocean other than George Clooney exist, but they are irrelevant. Clooney’s Danny Ocean is so calculating that the audience never sees him doing the math. He has all the answers to the questions before they’ve been posed. He knows what comes next before everyone else. And even though he doesn’t have the girl, the reunion is a foregone conclusion. Clooney’s talent is that while there’s never any doubt that Danny Ocean will succeed in all of his pursuits, how he does it is a must-watch. Clooney embodies the most swoon-worthy liar-and-thief to such an extreme that I’m not sure he was acting at all. —Litman
6. Frank Catton
Played by: Bernie Mac
Appears in: Ocean’s Eleven, Ocean’s Twelve, Ocean’s Thirteen
Frank Catton once shook a man’s hand so hard that the man did exactly what Frank Catton wanted him to do.
Frank Catton also once called Linus (who was posing as an NGC agent) “a goddamn cracker” and then said, “You might as well call it whitejack!”
Frank Catton is one of the best. I miss Bernie Mac more than I realized. —Gruttadaro
5. Francois Toulour
Played by: Vincent Cassel
Appears in: Ocean’s Twelve, Ocean’s Thirteen
A Bond villain minus the dumb plan is essentially a rich, unconventionally handsome loner with great taste and an unusual conversational pattern. May I present to you: Francois Toulour, a.k.a. the Night Fox, a character built entirely of in-jokes that somehow all land. It helps that he is played by Vincent Cassel, a specialist in inscrutable French charm; it also helps that Toulour lives on Lake Como, where George Clooney (the real one) spends his summers. But all you really need is this:
The guy turned “laser parkour”—for the purposes of retrieving a Fabergé egg—into an iconic image. Respect. —Dobbins
4. Reuben Tishkoff
Played by: Elliott Gould
Appears in: Ocean’s Eleven, Ocean’s Twelve, Ocean’s Thirteen, Ocean’s 8
“You know the three most successful robberies in the history of Vegas?” And so begins a perfect movie montage, narrated by Reuben Tishkoff. Reuben is a beautiful character played by Elliott Gould, who looks like he’s never had so much fun. He is a hilariously small man who cloaks his pettiness in literal gold cloaks. He stabs tufts of romaine lettuce with a desperate vigor I’ve never seen elsewhere. He is Las Vegas personified. —Gruttadaro
3. Tess Ocean
Played by: Julia Roberts
Appears in: Ocean’s Eleven, Ocean’s Twelve
There is no lazier movie plot than one motivated by the loss of a woman—until that woman is played by Julia Roberts. My favorite thing about America’s Sweetheart is that she hates being a sweetheart (and also seemingly just hates a lot of people); running just below Roberts’s winning smile is a strain of disdain and boredom so palpable that they made Runaway Bride about it. In Ocean’s Eleven, Roberts channels her discontent into Tess Ocean, an ex-wife who has turned her rebuilding into a form of revenge: charging Picassos to the enemy. In Ocean’s Twelve, she gives one of the more honest representations of wifedom that I’ve ever seen—skeptical, inconvenienced, and ready to fix everything when the “plans” fall through—and then turns it into a commentary on being the Biggest Movie Star in the World. In both cases, the movie pivots on her annoyance. I’m still waiting for someone to make a movie about mine.
Roberts isn’t in Ocean’s Thirteen—the bad one—because they wouldn’t give her a big enough part. The House may not always win in the Ocean’s movies, but Tess does. —Dobbins
2. Saul Bloom
Played by: Carl Reiner
Appears in: Ocean’s Eleven, Ocean’s Twelve, Ocean’s Thirteen
There’s nothing more relatable than an old guy who sits around and spits at everything the young guns do. Me, I have my grandpa, a man who once corrected the way I held a fork. And the Ocean’s crew, they have Saul Bloom, a hall of fame con man who couldn’t be less impressed with every other human on the planet. When he talks, it sounds as if he’s annoyed that someone made him waste effort and open his mouth. He calls Danny “Daniel,” as in, “If you ever ask me that question again, Daniel, you will not wake up the following morning.” When he hears Tess is dating Terry Benedict, he responds, “She’s too tall for him!”—literally the best and most astute reaction possible.
But at the same time—and just like my grandpa—he’s impossible not to love. You watch him peel an orange, or hear him talk about his girlfriend (who works at the unmentionables section at Macy’s), and all you can hope for is that one day he’ll afford you his begrudging respect. —Gruttadaro
1. Rusty Ryan
Played by: Brad Pitt

The Downtown Line is a 40km line that will facilitate direct travel from the northwestern and eastern areas of the island to the Central Business District (CBD) and Marina Bay. The Line will also provide a strategic transport link to support the development of the Marina Bay area. The Line, which will run largely underground with a fully automated system, will be built in three stages.
Sembawang E&C undertook this contract worth S$463 million, with the scope of the Contract covering the construction and completion of the Bayfront Station including associated tunnels. The Bayfront Station will serve as an interchange station for the Circle and Downtown Lines with the station’s twin-stacked tunnels connected to the Marina Bay and Landmark Stations.
The northern end of the Bayfront Station tunnel will be designed and constructed by the developer of the Marina Bay Sands Integrated Resort, the Las Vegas Sands Corporation.

Circle Line Marina Bay MRT Station
Category D: Industrial, Transport & Infrastructure Projects (Transport Buildings)
Architect: Aedas Pte Ltd
Client / Owner: Land Transport Authority
The architectural design is recognised for its success in dematerialising structure and addressing the usual tunnel/hole-in-the-ground associations in public transport transit situations.
The station entrance is cast in a park setting instead, and circulation to the MRT concourse is integrated seamlessly. A lightweight, translucent ETFE canopy floats like cloud cover over the station entrance, integrating into the park amenity.
The building’s canopy allows natural light and ventilation to flood the underground concourse while providing shelter. The station design is commendable for approaching design towards sustainability, and creating comfort and good experience for commuters in our public transport infrastructure.

The Downtown Line: The Game Changer
The Downtown Line (DTL) is Singaporeâs fifth MRT line and a game changer for public transport in Singapore.
DTL reaches out to residential areas such as Bukit Panjang, Bukit Timah, MacPherson and Bedok Reservoir that were previously not served by the MRT.
Catering to a growing city with growing transport needs, the existing 34 stations on the DTL offer an alternative commuting route, connecting people to the city and making travel within the city centre a breeze.
For those living in Bukit Panjang and Bukit Timah, the line offers a more direct route into the city and cuts travel time by up to 30 per cent.
For those in the east, it means fewer bus rides and faster commutes. Taking the train instead of a bus from Kaki Bukit to Tampines takes just 10 instead of 25 minutes.
The line also enhances connectivity within the Central Business District (CBD) area, taking you from Millenia Walk to Marina Bay Sands and the City Hall fringe more quickly.
The opening of the 21km DTL3 on 21 October 2017 provided a travel alternative to the east and direct connectivity to Tampines Regional Centre and Changi Business Park without the need for transfers via buses. With the introduction of DTL3, the DTL is now 42-km long. This makes it the longest underground and driverless MRT line in Singapore.

Aaaaaaaaall aboard! The Global Leaders woke up bright and early to visit one of Singapore’s most widely used civil infrastructure systems. With hearts full of excitement and dreary eyes from long travel, we followed the tracks to the Mayflower Mass Rail Transit Station. The station is located in Ang Mo Kio along Avenue 4. Underground one can hear as the skilled labor are hard at work constructing the 43km-planned Thomson-East Coast Line.
The Thomson-East Coast line will consist of 31 stations and will be Singapore’s sixth rail line. The first stage of the project will complete the construction of three stations at Woodlands North, Woodlands, and Woodlands South by 2019. The second phase is expected to be completed a year later, finishing six stations, including the Mayflower. The third phase will complete construction of the CBD and the Marina Bay area, reducing travel time for Woodlands South by 35min. The fourth phase will span towards the east of the city, expecting to open in 2023. Full completion of the Thomson-East Coast Line will occur in 2024, adding to final stations in the fifth phase of construction (Kable). The total cost of the full line is estimated at about S$2.73 billion. All MRT stations are run and operated by the Land Transport Authority (LTA).
The design-build contract for the Mayflower Station was awarded on October 17, 2013 is worth close to $175 million. But who’s the conductor for the construction operation, you ask? The Gammon Construction Lmtd. of course!
The Mayflower Station will have 7 separate entrances surrounding the station box where the rail tunnel and loading station will be located. Gammon’s main purpose is to complete the station before the soil boring machine arrives from the previous stop. Construction of the station will undergo several levels including a Subway Roof, Roof Slab, Concourse, Mezzanine Level, and Base Level. For the Station Box, secant bored piles were installed to stabilize the perimeter walls of the underground structure. Both top-down and bottom-up approach will be implemented to excavate and construct the station.
The top down method was used specifically for the section box for it is underneath the main roadway, cutting through the middle of the station. The method is useful for situations with tight quarters. Before any excavation, it involves drilling a secant bored pile wall to establish the perimeter walls of the enclosure of the underground station. Steel piles are driven into the ground within the surroundings of the enclosure and struts are installed to ensure the walls stay open as excavation continues. With this approach, the first slab is poured at the highest level, leaving but an access shaft open. Once the floor slab has cured, the equipment enter through the access shaft to dig deeper and remove spoil. Following, a second level of struts is installed for the subsequent floor and another slab is cast-in-place. This process is repeated until the desired depth is reached. Finally, the floor slabs are completed where the access shafts used to be and the struts are removed. The bottom-up approach will be used for the remainder of the station’s excavation. As with the previous methodology, once an earth retaining system is installed to enclose the main cavity of the station, steel piles are driven into the ground and metal struts are installed to keep the walls back. Slowly, the ground is excavated down to a desired level, carefully adding additional struts and structural framing as the ground level is lowered. Once full excavation is complete, the base slab is poured with concrete and subsequently, the intermediate level floor slabs are poured. This approach was used in the areas around the section box where the entrances will be located. The reasoning is because there is enough land to divert any utilities or roadways while excavation is occurring.To observe a diagrammatic explanation, please see the Thomson-Line’s blog: https://thomson-line.blogspot.sg/2014/05/construction-methodologies.html
Currently, the project is 70% complete, experiencing over 2.5million man hours of labor. The main focus now is finishing the exterior shell of the station from a secant bored pile wall to a concrete finished surface including waterproofing, equaling to a full wall thickness of 1.9m.
Of course, there is never any project without its unique challenges. Along the full span of the station, there exists a 10 m elevation change. Along the perimeter exist several residential blocks sitting on shallow foundations, eagerly awaiting movement if settlement is not monitored regularly. With much to wrap one’s head around do not forget about the required earth retention, traffic diversion, waterproofing, utility rerouting, …and of course, pleasing the architect and his design.With so much to tackle in such a competitive market, Gammon started to get innovative. With so much rebar required on site, it put a strain on the cost of labor and cost of material. With the perks of design-build, they worked with the designers to install assymetrical rebar cages. Additionally, the contractor tried to prefabricate as much as possible offsite to reduce labor costs and time. A mono rail system was also installed within the lower quarters of the station to aid in dismantling and lifting any massive structural components. The instrumentation worked similarly to a horizontally sliding crane attached to the ceiling every sublevel. This system was specifically designed for this job and was the first of its kind to be installed in Singapore! It was a successful approach to Gammon’s drive for innovation.
But, unfortunately, our trip had to end and we had to part with the amazing team. The Global Leaders specifically want to thank Ramasamy Thangavelu for the informative and descriptive presentation, as well as, Choon Chan Wai, Shafier Salim, several other team members for leading us down for a tour of the site. It was truly a worthwhile experience! After our site visit, we walked across the street to eat at a local favorite for some delicious Chinese food as our first abroad meal together. Everyone adored the chicken and rice, while others may have squinted at new flavors trying lotus root and the hot chili sauce for the first time. With some practice, we will leave as food experts of Southeast Asian cuisine.

It’s hard to imagine Singapore without the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT). With over 148 km of rail across 106 stations, an estimated 3 million people commute to work, school and other destinations on a daily basis.

Fueling the future
Just 2 years after Singapore’s independence, in 1967, a study was done by the Singapore State and City Planning Department and the United Nations Development Programme. It projected a population of 3.4 million by 1992 and that called for a better road network, and an efficient public transport system to cope with the increasing population.
The Singapore Mass Transit Study
As Singapore entered a new decade, traffic congestion had worsened and it became crucial to find solutions to ease the congestion. In 1972, the government sent a team of consultants and officers to start the Singapore Mass Transit Study. In its first phase, the team recommended an investment in public transportation, in particular for a rail mass transit, as the best solution to cope with the travel demands.
The second phase of the study showed that a bus-rail system was far superior to an all-bus system – economically, financially, and technically. However, whether or not to construct an MRT system was a difficult decision to make, due to the high costs and possible impacts on land use and economic activities.
The final phase of this study, conducted between 1979 and 1980, provided the first designs for the recommended transit system. With this blueprint, a Provisional Mass Rapid Transit Authority was appointed in 1980 to start the first preparations for building a possible MRT system.
Light at the end of the tunnel
In May 1982, after an extensive study, the government was convinced that Singapore would greatly benefit from an MRT system and decided to build and completely finance the S$5-billion project.
Then Minister for Communications, Ong Teng Cheong, announced the decision and revealed that the MRT system would not only improve public commuting significantly, but also draw in more investors in the long run, and increase the land value in the country.
On the right track
In 1983, MRT Corporation replaced the Provisional MRT Authority and took charge of constructing and operating the MRT system. In 1987, the operations of the system were handed over to a new company called Singapore Mass Rapid Transit (SMRT) Ltd.
The initial MRT system was to be 67 km long, across three lines with 42 stations: North-South Line from Yishun to Marina Bay; East-West Line from Pasir Ris to Boon Lay; and the Western Line between Jurong Town and Bukit Panjang.
The North-South Line was the first section to be constructed because this part of the city had the most commuters and congestion.
All aboard!
On 7 November 1987, a five-station segment from Toa Payoh to Yio Chu Kang opened its doors to the first passengers. Thousands of curious Singaporeans came to try out the MRT on the first day alone. A month later, on 12 December 1987, nine more stations were added from Novena to Outram Park.
Then Prime Minister, Lee Kuan Yew, officially launched the MRT system on 12 March 1988. By April, the MRT had already become a daily mode of transport for at least 200,000 people.
Connecting every corner of Singapore
In 1996, a 16-km extension to Woodlands began serving passengers. The North East Line from Punggol through busy downtown to Harbourfront opened in 2003. The Circle Line opened all its stations in October 2011 and the Downtown Line was completed in October 2017. The Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL) is projected to be completely up and running by 2023.
The government announced in 2020 that a total of S$87.5 billion had been set aside for new rail projects in the next decade, which will include even more lines and stations to boost the transport system even further.
It’s hard to imagine Singapore without this world-class public transport system. MRT stations have now become their own landmarks, featuring avant-garde architecture, international art installations from renowned artistes, and even serve as unique Instagram-worthy public spaces.

In the Small Projects category of the World Architecture Festival 2012 was the Marina Bay Station in Singapore by Aedas, Hong Kong. An outstanding feature of the station is the lovely ETFE clad canopy over a pool of water that helps to moderate the micro climate and admit natural light into the station entrance. The strong architectural identity was designed to add a unique and recognizable structure marking a gateway to the new Central Business District. The station serves as an interchange to connect the North-South Line with the new Circle Line. It also provides connections to the underground pedestrian network, and maintenance facilities, as well as scope for future expansion. Back of house elements such as ventilation exhausts and emergency exits were all carefully controlled and situated in recessed locations or below eye level so as not to interfere with the surrounding park landscape.

Singapore's sixth subway, the S$18-billion Thomson Line (TSL), will have 22 stations running from Woodlands in the north to Marina Bay in the south, government said on Wednesday as it revealed the exact locations of the stops.
In a joint statement, the Land Transport Authority and Urban Redevelopment Authority said the line will include six interchange stations that will link to the four other existing MRT lines in Singapore, as well as the future Downtown Line.
Running parallel to the existing North South Line, TSL will serve commuters living and working along its corridor in Woodlands, Sin Ming, Thomson, Kim Seng and Marina Bay areas that are not served by the existing MRT network.
Residents along the TSL corridor will be able to experience savings in travel time. For example, a Sin Ming resident travelling to Republic Polytechnic will have his journey time reduced by half, from 50 minutes to 25 minutes, the government agencies said.
Construction work for TSL will commence in stages from third quarter of 2013, LTA told Yahoo! Singapore.
The TSL will be completed in three stages, with the first stretch (three stations from Woodlands North to Woodlands South) to be completed in 2019.
The second stretch (six stations from Springleaf to Caldecott) will be completed in 2020 and the final stretch (13 stations from Mount Pleasant to Gardens by the Bay) in 2021.
When fully operational in 2021, the 22 stations on TSL will serve about 400,000 commuters daily.
However, to get the project going, government will need to acquire four full lots, including a post office along Upper Thomson Road and two landed properties along Stevens Road and Robin Close, the agencies said.
Pearls Centre will also be affected by the TSL construction as a TSL tunnel will run under part of the building, they explained.
Also, to optimise land use around the future TSL station at Outram Park, Pearls Centre at Eu Tong Sen Street will be acquired and amalgamated with the adjoining State land for a high-density mixed-use development.
Five other part lots will be acquired but the acquisition will not affect the main building structure, they added.
The Singapore Land Authority (SLA) on Wednesday gazetted the lands affected by acquisition.
Landowners who are directly affected will receive acquisition notices. SLA will also get in touch with them over the course of the next few weeks to assist them with their queries and concerns, said LTA and URA.
Woodlands resident Shirley Tay, 20, said the new line is convenient for those who stay in the north and travels to central Singapore.
"And if we want to go to the area around Marina Barrage or Marina Bay, we don't have to change buses or MRT lines to get there. It's a straight-forward journey," Tay added.
However, some commuters feel that the new MRT line is similar to the North South Line.
Yahoo! Singapore reader Chris Tan said, "[They] should build tracks that connects North East Line (Punggol) to North South Line (Woodlands) to East West Line (Changi Airport). ... This track is almost identical to the North South Line, waste of resources."

Commuters will be able to ride the first six stations of Singapore's newest rail network — the Downtown Line — for free until 1 January, after it started operations on Sunday.
Operated by SBS Transit, these consist of Bugis, Promenade, Bayfront, Downtown, Telok Ayer and Chinatown, adding up to some 4.3km of rail that is aimed at easing congestion at interchange stations like Dhoby Ghaut and Raffles Place.
In order to enjoy a free ride, commuters will have to tap in and out of a Downtown Line station.
Officiating its opening on Saturday, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong asked for patience and support from the public as the government continues working to improve the country's MRT service.
Highlighting a new feature of brightly-coloured "Reserved" seats, PM Lee said this should urge commuters to give their seats up to passengers who may need them more as well.
"Once in a while, you find a young man pretending to be asleep when a pregnant lady is standing by or an old gentleman," he was quoted as saying in The Straits Times. "So, just to remind them before they fall asleep not to use that chair, the trains on the Downtown Line have now got special chairs. There is no reason you won't notice when you sit down there."
Located about 26m below ground level, the Downtown Line Bugis station is linked to the existing East-West Line Bugis station and is also connected by subway links between North Bridge Road and Victoria Street.
Promenade station connects to the Circle Line while Bayfront station has two platform levels — one goes to Marina Bay and Downtown stations, and the other goes to Promenade station.
Meanwhile, Downtown station lies underneath Central Boulevard, adjacent to Marina Bay Financial Centre and links commuters to Marina Bay Link Mall, the MBFC towers, the Marina Bay Suites and The Lawn @ Marina Bay.
Telok Ayer Station is located near the PriceWaterhouse Coopers building, Cecil Street, Cross Street and Amoy Street. It stands between Downtown and Chinatown station, the latter of which links the Downtown Line up with the North East Line.
According to the LTA, the Downtown Line will operate with six trains, with each trip between all six stations taking between nine and 10 minutes, at frequencies of four minutes during peak hours, and five during off-peak hours. It promises to run at shorter frequencies when the line is fully operational, with more trains added to its network.
Subsequent parts of the Downtown Line are scheduled to open by 2016 and 2017.

Bras Basah (CC2) is a Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station on the Circle Line. It is the second deepest station with a depth of 35m below ground level. It also houses the longest escalator, at 41 m which stretches from the ticket concourse to the transfer level and takes approximately one minute to travel.[1]
History[edit]
Date Event 17 April 2010 Station officially opened
Artworks[edit]
Circle Line: The Amazing Neverending Underwater Adventures! by Tan Kai Syng
The artist plays the protagonist, Desyphus, a “Perpetual Commuter” on an adventure on the Circle Line. The videos projected on the wall below the station’s water-filled glass skylight takes commuters through themes of travel, time, memory and the train line.[2]
Circle Line: Sea Port of Singapore by Jaafar Latiff
Circle Line: Vibrant Singapore by Thang Kiang How
Architecture[edit]
The station design by WOHA resolves two conditions needed for the station: allowing a visual connection to the exterior to enhance the travel experience for the commuters, and enabling the station to blend into the landscape in the historic district and park location. A reflection pool, which also acts as the station roof, allows skylight to enter the station, and functions as a landscape element on the surface. With skylight entering the station, minimal artificial light is required for the station during the day. The natural light allows improvement in way-finding and safety for the commuters.[3] The ventilation shafts of the station also blended into the landscape, avoiding any blocking of view lines across the site to the surrounding civic buildings.[4]
The station design was commissioned through the Marina Line Architectural Design Competition jointly organised by the Land Transport Authority (LTA) and the Singapore Institute of Architects (SIA). At the 2001 SIA Awards, the SIA awarded LTA the prize for ‘Excellence in Architectural Design Competitions’.[1] In 2009, the station was awarded the "Best Transport Building" at the World Architecture Festival, on the basis that the design gives "precedence to the surrounding, historically important, colonial structures, creating a piazza-like urban space to the station underneath" and noted the design's functionality to allow natural light into the station.[5] The station later won the Award for International Architecture at the AIA's 2010 National Architecture Awards.[3] In addition, it won the Chicago Athenaeum and the European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies and International Architecture Awards in 2011.[6]

SINGAPORE: If you’re travelling from Telok Blangah to the Marina Bay area by MRT, changing trains twice on your journey will soon be a thing of the past.
The final stretch of tunnelling works for Circle Line 6 (CCL6) was completed on Wednesday (Jan 12).
This comprises three underground stations - Keppel, Cantonment and Prince Edward Road - closing the loop between HarbourFront and Marina Bay stations. This means commuters will be able to get a direct line from Telok Blangah to Marina Bay, for instance, saving about 10 minutes of travel time.
With the CCL6 extension on track to open in 2026, a year later than initially scheduled, it will allow easier access to areas such as Spottiswoode, Keppel Road and the southern edge of the central business district.
There will then be a total of 33 stations along the entire Circle Line, including 12 interchange stations that connect to other MRT lines.

Marina Bay MRT station (NS27/CE2/TE20) is an underground Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) interchange station on the North South Line and Circle Line, located on the boundary of Downtown Core and Straits View planning areas in Singapore. The station is designed by Aedas.
It was the southern terminus of the North South Line until late November 2014. However, most trains terminate at Marina Bay instead of Marina South Pier possibly due to the low passenger demand at Marina South Pier. Passengers who are going to Marina South Pier should observe the television screens on the station platforms and listen to announcements which will notify commuters when a train that is terminating at Marina South Pier arrives. Circle Line trains that begin from here terminate at Stadium MRT station, with a few trains terminating at HarbourFront MRT station during peak hours. When the Thomson-East Coast MRT Line opened, it became 3-line interchange.
Marina Bay is mainly used as an interchange station as there are very little buildings nearby.
A: Marina Station Road, Marina South Pier, Marina Barrage, Bayfront Avenue Taxi Stand
B: Asia Square, Central Boulevard, Marina Bay City Gallery, Marina Bay Financial Centre, Marina Bay Link Mall, Marina Bay Residences, Marina Bay Sands, Marina Bay Suites, Marina Boulevard, The Promontory @ Marina Bay
It is possible to walk 500 meters to Downtown MRT station from Exit B of the station.

The plan
Continue my adventure of visiting every MRT (subway) stop in Singapore. This time, I visited fourteen stops on the eastern side of the Circle Line (aka the Yellow Line). Missing a connection along the southern edge, the Circle Line does not yet run in a circle; instead, it forms a horseshoe around center of the island. This line also has an irritating spur that’s just three stops long, so that was on my agenda as well.
The rules
Get out at every stop and spend ten to fifteen minutes wandering around. Walk up (nearly) all escalators. Stop only for photos and snacks.
The stops:
Marina Bay
The name of this station is misleading, because Marina Bay itself is quite a ways away. You can just see the towers of the Marina Bay Sands Hotel far off in the distance:
There’s not much else to look at here — just a condo, a bunch of downtown office buildings, and this beautiful tree standing all alone in a grassy expanse:
Bayfront
This is stop actually takes you to Marina Bay — step outside, and the towers of the iconic hotel stretch out imposingly above:
Immediately across the street lie a huge shopping center and the bay itself — a popular locale for wedding photos.
Exit Bayfront Station in another direction, and you’ll find yourself walking toward Gardens by the Bay. If you take the bridge (rather than the mirror-and-mural tunnel), you’ll get this view of the hotel:
Of course, you can choose to skip going outside altogether and just head straight to the Shoppes at the Marina Bay — a mall so over the top that they offer sampan rides on a “canal” on the bottom floor.
Promenade
Promenade sits at the base of two giant shopping malls, Millenia Walk and the cavernous Suntec City. I can’t say much about the malls themselves, but I do like that Millenia Walk boasts some exciting art — including Six Brushstrokes, one of the final pieces created by Roy Lichtenstein. Here are three of the six sculptures in that series, in which pop-art meets Chinese calligraphy:
There are a number of big office buildings at Promenade …
… and this is also the station with the best access to the Singapore Flyer:
Promenade has some of the more recognizable station art in Singapore: Dreams in a Social Cosmic Odyssey by artist :phunk.
From Promenade, you can decide whether you’re going onto the spur that includes Esplanade, Bras Basah, an Dhoby Ghaut, or whether you want to continue east and then north up the Circle Line. I had a terrible time figuring out how to get onto the spur line — I somehow ended up back at Bayfront multiple times. So if you’re trying to find the spur, be careful about it! If you make it, you’ll eventually get to:
Esplanade
The Esplanade Station has links to several major malls (Suntec City, CityLink, and Raffles City), direct access to the new (and already instantly recognizable) JW Marriott …
… the South Beach development (where they’re setting up for the holidays) …
… and the Memorial to the Civilian Victims of the Japanese Occupation of World War II (with the Raffles City Towers in the background):
Esplanade Station is irritatingly far from the Esplanade performing arts center, though you can see one of the theater’s domes on the far left here (looking like a scaly durian), with the rest of the downtown spreading out in the background:
Bras Basah
Bras Basah is Singapore’s arts hub, which means that it has all sorts of interesting buildings. In addition to the Singapore Art Museum (currently closed for renovations), it is home to the Centre 42 theater space …
… the Singapore Calligraphy Centre …
… Dance Ensemble Singapore …
… and The Theatre Practice, home of Four Horse Road:
You can find all sorts of unexpected art in this neighborhood, including c o o p, a “system of architecture kit-of-parts that empower individuals and communities to work together to build their own spatial needs and inventions.” Apparently, you can make swings, stairs, tables, rolling platforms, and solar gardens out of this building block system:
There’s even more art to be found at the old Catholic High School, which has been converted into shops, galleries, and studios offering classes in everything from Argentine tango to pole dancing. On the first floor, this building has a wonderful series of murals by Yip Yew Chong and Yuen Kim Cheong, painted on and around old classroom doors. For reasons I don’t understand, it also houses a pair of painted lions.
This slideshow requires JavaScript.
And there’s real street art in Bras Basah, most of it of an edgier variety than you usually find in Singapore.
Bras Basah also has a rich religious tradition; among other places of worship, you can visit the Church of Saints Peter and Paul …
… and the The Maghain Aboth Synagogue (built in 1878, it’s the oldest Jewish synagogue in Southeast Asia):
There’s a lot to see in Bras Basah — so much so that I found myself distracted and went well over my usual allotted time in my wanderings. Oh, and at 35 meters underground, Bras Basah MRT station is Singapore’s deepest.
Dhoby Ghaut
Sitting smack at the end of Orchard Road, Singapore’s famous shopping mecca, and also the interchange for three MRT lines, Dhoby Ghaut Station is awash with people. It’s one of the busiest stations in all of Singapore and is filled with escalators.
There’s not much to do here except shop — the Plaza Singapura mall is directly above the station — or hope that you’re in town on one of the four public holidays a year when you can go next door to visit the Istana, the official resident of the President of Singapore.
Nicoll Highway
Once you hop back on the spur and return to Promenade Station, you can head back up the main section of the Circle Line to Nicoll Highway. There’s not a lot here — the station literally takes you out above a highway. But you can walk over to the Concourse office building (an architectural favorite of mine) …
… or walk a few more blocks to Golden Mile Tower, an early 1970s Brutalist wonder that’s home to our favorite movie theater in Singapore, The Projector.
Stadium
One look at the station art tells you everything you need to know about this stop …
… because this is home to Singapore’s National Stadium:
The stadium the home of all sorts of events, most of them sports-related (though they also have monster truck jams, National Day celebrations, and concerts — U2 is about to play there). It’s also the centerpiece of a much larger sports-related complex, where you can do everything from taking dance classes and playing beach volleyball to dragon boating …
… and bike riding:
I enjoyed just sitting up on this over-sized park bench and looking out at the water:
Adjacent to the Stadium complex is the Kallang Wave mall, which rents out space to all sorts of gyms and studios. There’s even a climbing wall right in the middle:
But not everything is healthy at this mall; to celebrate a “sweet Christmas,” they have a “tree” made up of tiers of cupcakes:
I really like the look of the Stadium MRT station — it’s very dramatic:
Mountbatten
This station feels very basic: low ceilings, dim lighting, white tiled walls with a row of orange tiles at the top. After the Stadium station, it’s like you’ve entered another world. This is true once you step outside, too — you’ve suddenly left new and shiny Singapore for the land of HDBs (Housing and Development Board apartments).
In my notes, I wrote “this feels like the station that time forgot in the land that time also forgot.” For the first time ever, I found myself wandering through abandoned HDBs:
But these abandoned buildings in the old Dakota Crescent Estate held a delightful surprise: the Dove Playground!
Designed in 1979 by Khor Ean Ghee (who also designed the iconic Toa Payoh dragon), this playground features tile work from a bygone era. Sadly, it’s showing clear signs of disuse — and rumor has it that the whole thing will soon be razed to make way for new housing.
So I took turn on the not-very-slidey slide and said a regretful farewell.
I also paid a brief visit to the Geylang River — which, as with nearly all of the Singapore rivers, has been corseted into a concrete canal.
Dakota
We continue the line of boring stations here (this one had green and white walls). Dakota sits at the site of the original Kallang Airport, and it’s now pretty much a land of HDBs.
But the star that shines brightly here is the Old Airport Food Centre, one of the best-known hawker stalls in Singapore. Nondescript and overly warm, it has stalls so famous that people will line up for over an hour to eat things like noodles and soup.
I only had to wait five minutes for my out-of-this-world yummy char siu at Roast Paradise, and there was no line for my chendol (a shaved ice desert) at all.
Paya Lebar
Paya Lebar was the first station in Singapore designed as an interchange for an underground train (the Circle Line) and an elevated train (the East West Line). So you can see the trains running right overhead:
Paya Lebar Station is a good place if you like to shop — I found at least three malls here, all decked out for Christmas.
Otherwise, it’s a mixed bag of residences (I like the mosque at the bottom) …
… and light-industrial estates:
MacPherson
This was the sleeper hit of the trip. I didn’t have high hopes when I got off at this stop — when you emerge from the boring yellow-and-white station, the very first thing you see is this:
And for the first block out of the station, it’s all barbed wire, construction debris, and chain link fence — this is the heart of a true industrial area. But walk a block down Arumugam Street, and you run unexpectedly into three Chinese temples:
There’s a lot to see here from multiple religious traditions: Chinese Taoism, Chinese Buddhism, and Thai Buddhism. I spent well more than my allotted time here trying to take it all in.
Tai Seng
This station won the award for the most boring stop along the day’s journey. It started with the uninspiring white-and-blue tiled walls (echoing the same station pattern as the three stations before it) and continued with the row upon row of industrial and corporate headquarter-like buildings out on the street:
There’s really nothing to see or do here. The most excitement I found came from this sign:
Bartley
This was the end of my Circle Line experience! I was glad to see some station art, this time in the form of Jane Lee’s The Coin Mat, which covers a giant wall and is made up of 164,800 one-cent pieces:
Bartley doesn’t have a lot of immediate appeal once you get above ground — the station just takes you out to a big road — but with a little walking, I did find things to see here. First of all, there’s Marist Brothers’ Maris Stella High School, which offers an unusual juxtaposition of a traditional Chinese gate with a cross on top.
Then there are the sprawling grounds of the Ramakrishna Mission, a Hindu society that supports everything from yoga classes to an elementary school to a boys’ home. Their central building, erected in 1952, rises grandly up on a hill at the top of the campus:
To my surprise, the central temple space is nearly entirely devoid of ornament:
Their school playground, on the other hand, is wonderfully well-equipped (yes, I did ride one of these guys):
And as a fun diversion as I wandered around the Mission grounds, this construction worker asked me to take his picture!
Otherwise, Bartley seems to be a mix of condos and landed estate homes.
I enjoyed a brief walk through this neighborhood, appreciating some time in the greenery after a day in so much developed space. I found mangos (some bagged to keep them from both birds and the risk fo falling) ..
… unripe papayas…
… and some lovely flowers for my journey’s end:

Mass Rapid Transit station in Singapore
Bayfront MRT station is an underground Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) interchange station on the Downtown line (DTL) and Circle line (CCL). Located in the Downtown Core of Singapore, the station is underneath Bayfront Avenue and serves the main tourist attractions of Marina Bay Sands and Gardens by the Bay.
The station was first announced in 2005 as part of the Downtown Extension of the CCL, which was later revised to be the first stage of the DTL. In 2007, it was also announced that the station would interchange with the CCL branch to Marina Bay station. CCL services to the station first commenced in January 2012, while DTL services began in December 2013. The station features an Art-in-Transit artwork When the Ships Comes In by Lee Wen.
History
[edit]
On 14 June 2005, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) announced that Bayfront station would be part of the Downtown Extension (DTE) from Milennia station (now Promenade) to Chinatown.[1][2][3] The station would serve the upcoming integrated resort, now known as Marina Bay Sands.[4] Initially planned to be a branch of the Circle line (CCL),[4] the DTE was revised to be the first stage of the Downtown line (DTL) in 2007.[5] The station would also be an interchange station with the 2.4 km (1.5 mi) CCL branch to Marina Bay station.[6][7]
The initial Chinese name for Bayfront station (贝弗兰) generated some controversy.[8] Deputy local news editor of the Chinese-speaking newspaper Lianhe Zaobao Chua Chim Kang criticised the translation, calling it "meaningless" and perceived it as an "erosion" of the Chinese language.[9] LTA subsequently changed the provisional Chinese name for the station to its existing translation that reflected the "maritime flavour" of the area served by the station, with "海湾" meaning "bay" and "舫" meaning "small boats".[10]
The contract for the station's construction and associated tunnels was awarded to Sembawang Engineers & Constructors for S$463 million (US$345.5 million) in November 2007.[11][12] The northern end of the station was designed by the developer of the Marina Bay Sands Integrated Resort.[13] The station construction required coordination with Marina Bay Sands to integrate the station design with the resort. As announced on 28 November 2011,[15] the station opened on 14 January 2012, with an official opening ceremony the day before.[7][16][17] The DTL platforms commenced operations on 22 December 2013.[18][19]
Station details
[edit]
Bayfront station is a cross-platform interchange between the CCL and DTL with two island platforms. From the north, the CCL and DTL go towards Promenade MRT station. To the south, the DTL goes towards Downtown station while the CCL goes towards Marina Bay station.[20] The official station code is CE1/DT16.[21][22]
Located under Bayfront Avenue close to Marina Bay,[23] Bayfront station serves Marina Bay Sands and Gardens by the Bay.[24][25] The station has five entrances. Other landmarks surrounding the station include Helix Bridge, Art Science Museum, Merlion Park, Red Dot Design Museum, and The Fullerton Hotel.[26][27]
Public art
[edit]
When the Ship Comes In by Lee Wen is displayed along the station concourse as part of the Art-in-Transit programme, a showcase of public artworks on the MRT network.[28] The work depicts a series of ships hand-drawn by Singaporean children aged 7 to 12. Based on fantasy or other existing ships, the designs included boats powered by whales and dragons, or those made of food and recycled bottles.
The display pays tribute to the importance of Singapore as a port of call. The children's artwork recalls the history and projects the children's hope for the future.[31] The artwork title is inspired by a Bob Dylan song of the same name, and the artist hoped to reflect the song's message of the value of life.
Over one thousand ship designs were created through workshops held in various primary schools and coordinated by the artist and his friends, including Chye Teck and Chun Kaiqun. Due to the limited space of the canvas, only some were selected based on the creativity of the design rather than how well-drawn the ships were. These were scanned into digital images, before the work was silkscreened on vitreous enamel panels.

SINGAPORE: From a mere five stations in 1987 to eight lines by 2030, Singapore’s rail network will eventually make travel times shorter and more convenient for most people.
Construction of the Cross Island Line began on Wednesday (Jan 18) and Phase 1, with 12 stations, is expected to be completed by 2030. There will eventually be at least 30 stations.
Once fully operational, about eight in 10 households are expected to be within a 10-minute walk of a train station, Transport Minister S Iswaran said.
CNA looks at how Singapore’s MRT network has evolved through the years.
NORTH-SOUTH LINE
The North-South Line (NSL) was Singapore’s first MRT line, opening in 1987 with only five stations connecting Yio Chu Kang to Toa Payoh.
Today, it spans 45km and has 27 stations to serve commuters travelling between Jurong East to Marina South Pier. It also includes eight interchanges, allowing travellers to transfer to the East-West Line, the Circle Line, the Downtown Line, the North East Line and the Bukit Panjang LRT.
In recent years, additional stations were added: Marina South Pier in 2014 and Canberra – located between the existing Yishun and Sembawang stations – in 2019.
It may be Singapore’s oldest train line, but it remains an integral part of the country’s rail system and is currently undergoing upgrading works to ensure that it keeps up with travel demands.
Since the renewal works started in 2012, three out of the line’s six core systems have been replaced: The signalling system, sleepers and third rail. Track circuit replacements are also about 93 per cent complete.
The bustling Jurong East MRT station was also retrofitted with two new platforms in 2012, allowing two trains to enter and depart the station at the same time.
Most of the core system replacements are expected to be completed by this year, according to Mr Iswaran.
EAST-WEST LINE
Originally a part of the NSL, the East-West Line (EWL) is currently Singapore’s longest at about 57km.
It will take you across the island, spanning 35 stations and nine interchanges from Tuas West to Changi Airport.
Students may be familiar with Clementi or Dover stations, which serve nearby polytechnics and universities. The line also serves those working in the central business district, including Raffles Place, City Hall and Outram Park.
Did you know that Dover MRT station was the first one to be constructed while the train line was in operation? It is also the first station to have two platforms alongside a central rail line.
Like the NSL, the EWL is also undergoing a renewal of its core systems, which is set to be completed this year.
CROSS ISLAND LINE
With Phase 1 set to open in 2030, the Cross Island Line (CRL) will be Singapore’s eighth and longest fully underground train line at more than 50km long.
The line is key to Singapore attaining its target of having nine in 10 peak-period “Walk Cycle Ride” journeys completed in less than 45 minutes, said Mr Iswaran.
Daily ridership for the Cross Island Line is expected to hit 600,000 when it opens for service in 2030, with that number eventually increasing to more than 1 million. It will take commuters through major hubs like the Jurong Lake District, Punggol Digital District and the Changi region, with more than 30 stations planned.
Travelling between train lines? The CRL will have the highest number of interchange stations in Singapore, with more than half connected to existing rail stations once operational.
Recreational spaces like Changi Beach Park or Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park will also become accessible by public transport, which means family outings and daily exercise routines will be more convenient.
The NEL was also the first to take accessibility into account, featuring the most number of lifts at its stations at the time and the first to incorporate art into its stations.
As the line serves growing neighbourhoods, many of its stations were designed to allow for future expansions to cater to the growing population.
For example, when Sengkang LRT line first opened in 2003, surrounding developments were not yet built. With future connections in mind, the line's stations were built with a simple layout to allow commuters to navigate their way easily.
CIRCLE LINE
Despite the name, the Circle Line (CCL) is not yet a full circle.
Like the NEL, the 30-station CCL is completely automated and driverless. It was also Singapore’s first medium-capacity line, linking the existing NSL, EWL and NEL to the city.
According to the Land Transport Authority, it required “innovations in design, engineering and construction” to build.
Builders faced challenges such as varying soil conditions, which posed safety and structural issues at Promenade and Nicoll Highway stations, and having to tunnel through a maze of existing tunnels and cables.
Bras Basah Station is home to the longest escalator in the MRT system, stretching 41m from the ticket concourse to the transfer level.
In 2026, the CCL will become a full circle, with the opening of a 4km extension that includes three stations connecting HarbourFront to Marina Bay.
Commuters will enjoy a direct route between areas in the west - such as Pasir Panjang and Kent Ridge - and the Central Business District. Those living in Paya Lebar and Mountbatten will also get faster access to the HarbourFront area.
DOWNTOWN LINE
Measuring 42km and covering 36 stations, the Downtown Line (DTL) is Singapore’s longest underground and driverless MRT line.
It serves residential areas in Bukit Panjang, Bukit Timah, MacPherson and Bedok Reservoir, which were previously not covered by the MRT system.

Toa Payoh Area
Toa Payoh in the Hokkien dialect means ‘Big Swampland’ and was an agricultural area until the 1960s, when the Housing and Development Board began developing the area into Singapore’s second self-contained satellite town with a well-spaced mixture of housing projects, local shops, shopping malls, commercial establishments, schools and entertainment venues. The convenient layout of the town and its connectivity to the metro and bus links have made it an increasingly popular place to live, especially as a large part was also allocated to retain the natural beauty of the area at Toa Payoh Town Garden. The air-conditioned Toa Payoh Bus Interchange integrates with Toa Payoh MRT Station.

The plan
Continue my adventure of visiting every MRT (subway) stop in Singapore. This time, I visited fourteen stops on the eastern side of the Circle Line (aka the Yellow Line). Missing a connection along the southern edge, the Circle Line does not yet run in a circle; instead, it forms a horseshoe around center of the island. This line also has an irritating spur that’s just three stops long, so that was on my agenda as well.
The rules
Get out at every stop and spend ten to fifteen minutes wandering around. Walk up (nearly) all escalators. Stop only for photos and snacks.
The stops:
Marina Bay
The name of this station is misleading, because Marina Bay itself is quite a ways away. You can just see the towers of the Marina Bay Sands Hotel far off in the distance:
There’s not much else to look at here — just a condo, a bunch of downtown office buildings, and this beautiful tree standing all alone in a grassy expanse:
Bayfront
This is stop actually takes you to Marina Bay — step outside, and the towers of the iconic hotel stretch out imposingly above:
Immediately across the street lie a huge shopping center and the bay itself — a popular locale for wedding photos.
Exit Bayfront Station in another direction, and you’ll find yourself walking toward Gardens by the Bay. If you take the bridge (rather than the mirror-and-mural tunnel), you’ll get this view of the hotel:
Of course, you can choose to skip going outside altogether and just head straight to the Shoppes at the Marina Bay — a mall so over the top that they offer sampan rides on a “canal” on the bottom floor.
Promenade
Promenade sits at the base of two giant shopping malls, Millenia Walk and the cavernous Suntec City. I can’t say much about the malls themselves, but I do like that Millenia Walk boasts some exciting art — including Six Brushstrokes, one of the final pieces created by Roy Lichtenstein. Here are three of the six sculptures in that series, in which pop-art meets Chinese calligraphy:
There are a number of big office buildings at Promenade …
… and this is also the station with the best access to the Singapore Flyer:
Promenade has some of the more recognizable station art in Singapore: Dreams in a Social Cosmic Odyssey by artist :phunk.
From Promenade, you can decide whether you’re going onto the spur that includes Esplanade, Bras Basah, an Dhoby Ghaut, or whether you want to continue east and then north up the Circle Line. I had a terrible time figuring out how to get onto the spur line — I somehow ended up back at Bayfront multiple times. So if you’re trying to find the spur, be careful about it! If you make it, you’ll eventually get to:
Esplanade
The Esplanade Station has links to several major malls (Suntec City, CityLink, and Raffles City), direct access to the new (and already instantly recognizable) JW Marriott …
… the South Beach development (where they’re setting up for the holidays) …
… and the Memorial to the Civilian Victims of the Japanese Occupation of World War II (with the Raffles City Towers in the background):
Esplanade Station is irritatingly far from the Esplanade performing arts center, though you can see one of the theater’s domes on the far left here (looking like a scaly durian), with the rest of the downtown spreading out in the background:
Bras Basah
Bras Basah is Singapore’s arts hub, which means that it has all sorts of interesting buildings. In addition to the Singapore Art Museum (currently closed for renovations), it is home to the Centre 42 theater space …
… the Singapore Calligraphy Centre …
… Dance Ensemble Singapore …
… and The Theatre Practice, home of Four Horse Road:
You can find all sorts of unexpected art in this neighborhood, including c o o p, a “system of architecture kit-of-parts that empower individuals and communities to work together to build their own spatial needs and inventions.” Apparently, you can make swings, stairs, tables, rolling platforms, and solar gardens out of this building block system:
There’s even more art to be found at the old Catholic High School, which has been converted into shops, galleries, and studios offering classes in everything from Argentine tango to pole dancing. On the first floor, this building has a wonderful series of murals by Yip Yew Chong and Yuen Kim Cheong, painted on and around old classroom doors. For reasons I don’t understand, it also houses a pair of painted lions.
This slideshow requires JavaScript.
And there’s real street art in Bras Basah, most of it of an edgier variety than you usually find in Singapore.
Bras Basah also has a rich religious tradition; among other places of worship, you can visit the Church of Saints Peter and Paul …
… and the The Maghain Aboth Synagogue (built in 1878, it’s the oldest Jewish synagogue in Southeast Asia):
There’s a lot to see in Bras Basah — so much so that I found myself distracted and went well over my usual allotted time in my wanderings. Oh, and at 35 meters underground, Bras Basah MRT station is Singapore’s deepest.
Dhoby Ghaut
Sitting smack at the end of Orchard Road, Singapore’s famous shopping mecca, and also the interchange for three MRT lines, Dhoby Ghaut Station is awash with people. It’s one of the busiest stations in all of Singapore and is filled with escalators.
There’s not much to do here except shop — the Plaza Singapura mall is directly above the station — or hope that you’re in town on one of the four public holidays a year when you can go next door to visit the Istana, the official resident of the President of Singapore.
Nicoll Highway
Once you hop back on the spur and return to Promenade Station, you can head back up the main section of the Circle Line to Nicoll Highway. There’s not a lot here — the station literally takes you out above a highway. But you can walk over to the Concourse office building (an architectural favorite of mine) …
… or walk a few more blocks to Golden Mile Tower, an early 1970s Brutalist wonder that’s home to our favorite movie theater in Singapore, The Projector.
Stadium
One look at the station art tells you everything you need to know about this stop …
… because this is home to Singapore’s National Stadium:
The stadium the home of all sorts of events, most of them sports-related (though they also have monster truck jams, National Day celebrations, and concerts — U2 is about to play there). It’s also the centerpiece of a much larger sports-related complex, where you can do everything from taking dance classes and playing beach volleyball to dragon boating …
… and bike riding:
I enjoyed just sitting up on this over-sized park bench and looking out at the water:
Adjacent to the Stadium complex is the Kallang Wave mall, which rents out space to all sorts of gyms and studios. There’s even a climbing wall right in the middle:
But not everything is healthy at this mall; to celebrate a “sweet Christmas,” they have a “tree” made up of tiers of cupcakes:
I really like the look of the Stadium MRT station — it’s very dramatic:
Mountbatten
This station feels very basic: low ceilings, dim lighting, white tiled walls with a row of orange tiles at the top. After the Stadium station, it’s like you’ve entered another world. This is true once you step outside, too — you’ve suddenly left new and shiny Singapore for the land of HDBs (Housing and Development Board apartments).
In my notes, I wrote “this feels like the station that time forgot in the land that time also forgot.” For the first time ever, I found myself wandering through abandoned HDBs:
But these abandoned buildings in the old Dakota Crescent Estate held a delightful surprise: the Dove Playground!
Designed in 1979 by Khor Ean Ghee (who also designed the iconic Toa Payoh dragon), this playground features tile work from a bygone era. Sadly, it’s showing clear signs of disuse — and rumor has it that the whole thing will soon be razed to make way for new housing.
So I took turn on the not-very-slidey slide and said a regretful farewell.
I also paid a brief visit to the Geylang River — which, as with nearly all of the Singapore rivers, has been corseted into a concrete canal.
Dakota
We continue the line of boring stations here (this one had green and white walls). Dakota sits at the site of the original Kallang Airport, and it’s now pretty much a land of HDBs.
But the star that shines brightly here is the Old Airport Food Centre, one of the best-known hawker stalls in Singapore. Nondescript and overly warm, it has stalls so famous that people will line up for over an hour to eat things like noodles and soup.
I only had to wait five minutes for my out-of-this-world yummy char siu at Roast Paradise, and there was no line for my chendol (a shaved ice desert) at all.
Paya Lebar
Paya Lebar was the first station in Singapore designed as an interchange for an underground train (the Circle Line) and an elevated train (the East West Line). So you can see the trains running right overhead:
Paya Lebar Station is a good place if you like to shop — I found at least three malls here, all decked out for Christmas.
Otherwise, it’s a mixed bag of residences (I like the mosque at the bottom) …
… and light-industrial estates:
MacPherson
This was the sleeper hit of the trip. I didn’t have high hopes when I got off at this stop — when you emerge from the boring yellow-and-white station, the very first thing you see is this:
And for the first block out of the station, it’s all barbed wire, construction debris, and chain link fence — this is the heart of a true industrial area. But walk a block down Arumugam Street, and you run unexpectedly into three Chinese temples:
There’s a lot to see here from multiple religious traditions: Chinese Taoism, Chinese Buddhism, and Thai Buddhism. I spent well more than my allotted time here trying to take it all in.
Tai Seng
This station won the award for the most boring stop along the day’s journey. It started with the uninspiring white-and-blue tiled walls (echoing the same station pattern as the three stations before it) and continued with the row upon row of industrial and corporate headquarter-like buildings out on the street:
There’s really nothing to see or do here. The most excitement I found came from this sign:
Bartley
This was the end of my Circle Line experience! I was glad to see some station art, this time in the form of Jane Lee’s The Coin Mat, which covers a giant wall and is made up of 164,800 one-cent pieces:
Bartley doesn’t have a lot of immediate appeal once you get above ground — the station just takes you out to a big road — but with a little walking, I did find things to see here. First of all, there’s Marist Brothers’ Maris Stella High School, which offers an unusual juxtaposition of a traditional Chinese gate with a cross on top.
Then there are the sprawling grounds of the Ramakrishna Mission, a Hindu society that supports everything from yoga classes to an elementary school to a boys’ home. Their central building, erected in 1952, rises grandly up on a hill at the top of the campus:
To my surprise, the central temple space is nearly entirely devoid of ornament:
Their school playground, on the other hand, is wonderfully well-equipped (yes, I did ride one of these guys):
And as a fun diversion as I wandered around the Mission grounds, this construction worker asked me to take his picture!
Otherwise, Bartley seems to be a mix of condos and landed estate homes.
I enjoyed a brief walk through this neighborhood, appreciating some time in the greenery after a day in so much developed space. I found mangos (some bagged to keep them from both birds and the risk fo falling) ..
… unripe papayas…
… and some lovely flowers for my journey’s end:

Whenever I get a bit of a break, I like to look through my stash of holiday photos I’ve not yet posted and reflect a little bit about the experiences I had while I’m overseas. After all, I’m due for another holiday soon … so I guess I must put in a little more effort in getting these posts out in a timely manner.
In this post, I’ll be talking about transport in Singapore. I visited Singapore in July to August of 2017 for about a week, just wandering around and absorbing the sights. In the past, I made a concerted effort to document the public transport systems, but in Singapore, I felt a little less inclined. Part of the reason is the rather clean and sterile culture, which at the time, seemed to focus on being a good citizen which included not taking random photos especially including strangers. At the time, there were campaigns about not filming fights and spreading videos over social media amongst other things. As a result, I took a more reserved approach, so this posting will have a mix of transport content instead.
Looking back at my GPS track logs (which can’t track underground), I can tell that I definitely covered a good amount of area by travelling on public transport and on foot. It’s clear that Singapore is a very well connected country, but it seems they’ve got plans for even more infrastructure.
By Air
Regarding transport, Singapore is perhaps most important in the Asian region for its massive Changi Airport. It’s a great place to make interconnections and is a gigantic hub. It consistently wins awards, although I probably spent a lot less time in there than I should have – since I was so eager to get outside. I did catch some PA announcements when flying out – Lost Passport and Paging Passenger in Korean. Unlike some other airports I’ve been to, their PA system is pretty decent.
That’s not to say that Changi wouldn’t make an appearance in my journey. Normally, cameras and airports don’t really mix well. But bring your camera to Changi Beach Park and things don’t seem to be so bad, except for the possibility of sand getting into places where it shouldn’t … best be careful.
As a result, I plonked myself onto the sandy beach, watching as others went about their own business. I got out the telephoto lens, watching for inbound aircraft on Flightradar24 as I snapped some photos. But not before grabbing a few more pictures of interesting signs.
Looks like the beach is home to a number of suspicious activities … lets hope nobody calls the cops on me!
That was an enjoyable morning of plane-spotting – quite a few carriers I’ve not seen elsewhere, but also a few familiar ones from home – like Jetstar. I’m no real plane-spotter, but I suppose when you’re on a beach next to one of the busiest airports, this comes naturally.
It was catching the bus to and from this venue that I discovered what Checkpoint Mode means for buses – the driver switches Checkpoint Mode on so that you can tap off as you are “forced off” the bus. This suspends your ride and you are left in a shelter on the side of the road as the bus enters a secure area to pick up passengers from this area (airport staff, mainly). Then, when your bus comes back after doing the loop, the readers are set into Checkpoint Mode again to resume your ride. This was a very perplexing thing to me when I read about it on the LTA’s website, but after experiencing it in person, it all makes sense.
By Bus
I’ve not got much to say about buses in Singapore, except that they pretty much just work. I had one of the apps installed from one of the four bus operators, and it was a simple task of looking up the appropriate route, stop list and departure times with real-time information. Some of the more popular routes seem to operate on a frequency basis, with the drivers having a headway regulation display which shows the time difference between the bus ahead and behind so that they can prevent buses from bunching up. Pretty neat.
I liked that some of the buses were double-deck to cope with demands and alleviate traffic jams to some degree, meaning that there was a good chance to do some filming – like my ride on Route 80 to Harbourfront Interchange (which was quite massive):
There are multiple operators, but as long as you have an appropriate contactless card (i.e. EZ-Link or NETS FlashPay), it’s a simple matter of tapping on and off as necessary. One does have to be careful to make sure they tap on the appropriate reader, as some are configured entry/exit, while others are exit-only. As above, if you’re near the airport, there’s also potentially checkpoint mode to worry about as well.
It’s also interesting to look at the advertising plastered on the buses – there are many instances of various public-service style announcements trying to inspire positive social change. While on the one hand, it’s a bit of a chuckle to think about how cruel some people might be, on the other to see it so explicitly called out suggests it might be an actual problem (and not a small one at that). It seems that there’s a lot of aspiration for Singapore to “be better”, which often means investment in what seems to be excellent public infrastructure (at least, to a tourist) but perhaps people are still lagging behind somewhat.
By MRT
The MRT is probably the main public transport system in use which is a mixture of above and below-ground lines and segments. When I visited in 2017, the map (adapted from the Land Transport Authority of Singapore) looked like this and I was able to travel across all the highlighted areas:
At the time of my visit, the East-West line extension to Tuas Link had completed and opened, although sometimes operating slowly because of a transition between signalling systems. Aside from that, the Downtown line extension was under construction. The Thomson East Coast line had already been planned with construction also underway. This results in a rather interesting-looking map where the Circle line isn’t exactly a circle …
… but their new map definitely has a circular Circle line and a few more curves. Part of the Thomson East Coast line has also opened to the north. I found the MRT system easy to use, convenient, and relatively fast although with subtle differences between lines and teething issues with a driverless conversion of the East-West line at the time.
Travelling Around
MRT stations are fairly well spaced about Singapore – you’re bound to run into signs like these which point you to the nearest station. These can be above ground or underground depending on the line. The MRT lines are operated by either SMRT or SBS Transit, but commuters don’t need to worry about that too much.
The nearest station to where I stayed was Kallang, on the East West line. The above ground station looked fairly plain with an arched roof. At the time of my visit, the East West line was still undergoing conversion to driverless operation. On my first ride on the line, I experienced some anomalies, such as the doors opening and then rapidly shutting at stations, not observing the dwell time. Other times they would re-open while the internal announcements would be out of sync. Problems with overshooting were also experienced on occasion, but this seems to be a problem due to the number of different rolling stock in use on the line and their differing characteristics. On the whole, it still worked well enough with only very rare delays. The stations themselves had half-height passenger screen doors and massive fans – unfortunately, being exposed to outdoor temperatures in Singapore means that it’s normally quite hot, but the trains are ice cold, which is a plus. Air conditioning to the rescue!
Some stations have rather interesting architectural features, such as this “space-ship”-looking saucer at Expo.
While the East-West line was still undergoing conversion at the time of my visit, the North-South line was still driven manually as far as I know. The newer lines (e.g. North-East), however, were already driverless with this notice at Dhoby Gaut warning passengers about doors which close automatically. It seems driverless technology is well proven in these lines which operate mainly underground – a smooth ride for the most part.
There are some places where the age of the East-West line shows, for example, an underground station where a full-height passenger screen door from Westinghouse Brake and Signal Co. Ltd. can be seen. That’s a beautiful relic right there!
It seems that they had some incentive program based on QR codes at stations which would enable people to earn points and redeem rewards. I didn’t investigate this further, but I did hear that some people had (cleverly) taken down the QR codes at different locations and would scan photos of these codes to collect points even though they were not travelling on the MRT … so the program was somewhat curtailed. The above codes a text block with “KAL_PSD_PS36_9332” as the payload.
Inside the train is frosty air-conditioning that can result in some condensation forming. The route map is plastered above doors with a yellow multi-lingual sign that says to keep clear of doors. The newer trains have some LCD passenger information displays, but the older ones had a nice blue VFD display. Not a common choice of display, nor a common colour, but they were beautiful.
Unlike some other operators around the world, it seems that they want to know about problems from commuters – so there’s their Snap-Rep contact to which you can report faults using WhatsApp.
In every station, there are maps for the locality and interchanges – but this one never seemed to be fitted with its transfer service list, instead showing a mock-up/sample. Not a mistake I expected to see.
There are also rules about transfers (45-minutes, not onto the same service) and total journey time (2-hours maximum). That being said, if you’re a real early-bird, apparently travelling to downtown stations before 7:45am means a free ride with a discount of 50c up to 8:00am. I never could get myself up that early though – I’m on holiday!
Under Construction
I was caught-out at one point – walking around, I saw a sign towards an MRT station that wasn’t even open. That’s not a major issue though – I just walked to another one.
At the time, they had signage regarding later opening of the Downtown Line on Sundays to prepare for full opening by the end of 2017. Travel alternatives include regular route bus services and a shuttle bus service.
I did manage to snap a random image of a station still under construction. This would be part of the Downtown Line.
I also managed to snap an image of the hoardings around the future Napier station on the Thomson East Coast Line, due for opening around 2021.
Topping Up and Tapping On
I travelled with a NETS FlashPay card which can be topped up at any ticket machine. The left shows a cash top-up from a newer machine at Downtown, which has a wider receipt paper while the right shows a top-up from an overseas Visa Debit card (as credit) – it worked just fine.
The NETS FlashPay card can be used to purchase small items at certain retail outlets, similar to the Octopus card in Hong Kong. I like how the top-up receipts show the values and the station.
I only ever had one issue with the GTM top-ups at Aljunied. The machine couldn’t verify the top-up on the card (even though I didn’t remove or disturb it in the process). It results in this print-out which says “value may not be added” with a message to “please approach station staff for verification.”
As it turns out, there were no issues and the top-up completed just fine.
Instead of the GTMs, at some stations, there are more advanced ticket machines. I played with the TransitLink AVM+ which has the ability to e-mail you a .csv file of transaction history. Unfortunately, these machines weren’t that widespread.
The .csv shows the fine details of how the system works, down to 30-transactions depth. It seems that similar to the Opal card, a maximum charge is deducted on tapping on, with a refund processed on tapping off on a bus. Train travel is not processed the same way, with the payment deducted in a single line. Purchases at McDonalds and KFC can be seen – the service descriptor is very limited in length though.
Many people have their transport card in their wallets and tap their whole wallet on the readers. Unfortunately, similarly to the Opal system, the readers don’t always select the correct card or can suffer issues with card collisions. There was a cute cartoon-style poster which mentioned this – but people still don’t seem to do it. Perhaps taking out a card is just too inconvenient for some … so they try, try and try again.
Sounds of the MRT
I spent a lot of time riding around the MRT, hence I have a lot of recordings (some noisier than others) to share. The system sounds quite homogeneous at first, but there are some subtle differences in some sounds which give certain lines/systems away.

Door Opening and Closing
20170727-MRT-DC-Message – “Doors are closing. [Rapid Pips]”
20170727-MRT-DC-Message-CE-hq – “[Ding Dong] Doors are closing. [Rapid Pips]” Note that the rapid pips sound less sharp here.
20170727-MRT-DO-DC-Prot-EW – “[Doors Open] … [Ding Dong] Doors are closing. [Rapid Pips] [Doors Close]”
20170727-MRT-DO-DC-Prot-NE – “[Doors Open] … Doors closing. [Rapid Pips/Beeping] [Doors Close]” Note this sounds like it’s replaying a recording of the rapid pips – they sound very muffled.
20170731-MRT-DC-Message-xhq – “[Ding Dong] Doors are closing. [Rapid Pips]” – this is a very clear recording.
20170802-MRT-DC-DTLDual – “[Bipping] Doors closing. [Rapid Pips]”. I particularly like this sound – the rapidity of the pipping is rather comforting. Having advance notice of door closure is a good feature – more systems should probably adopt this. I believe this is from the Downtown Line.
By LRT
Singapore also has three light rail transit systems (LRT) which interconnect with the MRT. These are the Bukit Panjang, Sengkang and Punggol LRT systems, denoted in grey on the route map. The systems are built with predominantly loop sections to service the areas around MRT stations.
The Bukit Pangjang system is the oldest of the three, using Bombardier Innovia APM 100 people movers. These remind me a bit of guided busways, as the carriages run on rubber tyres. The services run coupled pairs of carriages and has had some history of accidents and incidents. It feels a bit dated and is reaching its end of life. The stations themselves are interesting – involving sets of stairs which wind upwards to the elevated platform which is only protected by barriers outside of door sections – no platform screen doors here. The system operates automatically – so the lack of screen doors seems to be at odds with most automated systems I’ve seen.
Riding the system, it seemed rather unusual. More used to the elevated sky rails which have barriers on the sides of the elevated running rails, the lack of barriers gave me a slight sense of vertigo and a fear that a stiff wind could blow the units off the tracks, especially when cornering some of the narrow curves. It was a bit of an experience, but the nerves quickly faded and I learned to enjoy the ride through town on elevated tracks. It’s a good view.
One of the stations on the Bukit Panjang LRT that I felt I had to visit was Ten Mile Junction (BP14). This was an odd station on a “spur”, served by an infrequent single-carriage service C. This was the LRT station famous for being integrated into a shopping mall building. Here we see the old turnstile ticket validators on the way to the platform.
As a result of this integration and the air conditioning, the station has full platform screen doors. I wasn’t aware that the depot for the system is actually along this branch, as this station closed 13th January 2019, having the distinction of being the only station to have closed on the LRT network. The station has just one platform.
The timetable at the time of my visit shows 20 minute service intervals for the most part, but with gaps in services on weekdays.
There was a door fault – either with the train or platform screen doors, resulting in this half-opening mess. Within the train, on the front window, was a route map. I suspect this particular unit was dedicated to running the Service C.
I also visited the Punggol and Sengkang LRT systems, both of which use Mitsubishi Crystal Mover C810/C810A automated people movers in a two-car configuration. These systems felt a bit newer and more modern by comparison and are the same as used in the Changi Airport Skytrain, which I didn’t have a chance to ride unfortunately.
The stations are built some way above the ground, but unlike the other system, there are barriers on the sides …
… this is because the third rail runs along the side of the train. This makes the system feel less vertigo inducing. The ride is relatively smooth, as this system also appears to be rubber-tyred. The platforms (at the time) were unprotected which is again unusual for an automated system. This leads to the placing of signs saying “Value Life. Act Responsibly.” I’m not sure that works …
As with any system, there are periods of track-work. As the system’s loops run in both directions, a closure normally only affects one direction meaning that it takes a little longer to catch the service the long way round. This is hardly a big inconvenience when the line lengths are only about 10km.
The system seems to be built with expansion in mind, especially if we look at Teck Lee (PW2) station which was built in advance for future development but not opened. I believe the train made a stop at the station, did not open its doors and continued onwards.
Sounds of the LRT
The LRT sounds part of the family, in part due to the use of a similar voice and rapid pips, but the two systems do sound different especially with the use of “dings” and “ding-dong”.
20170802-LRT-DCNS-BukitPanjang – “Doors closing. Next Station Bukit Panjang.”
20170802-LRT-DCNS-Senja – “Doors closing. Next Station Senja.”
20170802-LRT-DCNS-TeckWhye – “Doors closing. Next Station Teck Whye.”
20170802-LRT-DODCNS-Jelapang– “Senja. [Doors Open] … Doors Closing, Next Station Jelapang. [Doors Close]“
20170806-LRT-AANS-Kangkar – “[Ding] Please do not lean against the doors. Next Station Kangkar.”
20170806-LRT-AANS-Rangung – “[Ding] Please do not lean against the doors. Next Station Rangung.”
20170806-LRT-DC-HoldHandrail – “[Ding] Doors Closing. Please stand clear of doors. [Rapid Pips] Please hold onto the handrail. Thank you.”
20170806-LRT-NS-BukitPanjang – “[Ding Dong] Doors Closing. Next Station Bukit Panjang.”
20170806-LRT-SA-BukitPanjang-IC – “[Ding Dong] Bukit Panjang. Passengers going to Choa Chu Kang please proceed to Platform 1.”
20170806-LRT-SA-DO_DC-Kangkar – “[Ding] Kangkar. [Doors Open] … [Ding] Doors Closing. Please stand clear of doors. [Rapid Pips] Please hold onto the handrail. Thank you.”
Around Sentosa
Every tourist to Singapore has probably heard about Sentosa Island. After all, it’s practically a tourist resort island (also known as a tourist trap). There wasn’t too much in for me to do at Sentosa, not being a theme-park kind of person, but I did at least get to visit Fort Siloso and take a walk through the natural areas. But getting to/from/around Sentosa is an interesting topic in itself.
One way to get to Sentosa is just to catch the Sentosa Express monorail from Harbourfront. This service runs smaller versions of the Hitachi straddle-beam monorail that was seen in South Korea.
They seem to love colouring the train sets, with the system having four stations in total, spanning a distance of 2.1km. Yes, just 2.1km. The line charges fares for travelling from the mainland to the island (~SG$4), and is otherwise free of charge.
Of course, with such a short distance, one is probably inclined to walk to the island. In fact, just underneath the beam is a covered walkway which leads you to the island, with moving walkways to speed up the process. Unfortunately, walking isn’t free as an entrance fee is technically SG$1 charged at the island … but when I was there, somehow they chose not to charge the fee for whatever reason. It seems this may still be the case …
If you can walk there, you can also cycle there (SG$2). Apparently cycling to Sentosa island is still free for now as the entrance is waived … Otherwise, you can also take public buses, arrive by taxi (with surcharges of course) or … if you really have an excess of money …
… you could opt to ride the cable car from Mount Faber or Harbourfront. That’s a luxury that could cost you SG$30+. Cool to see in action, but I don’t think that’s really my thing. I’m not exactly fond of heights.
One of the more interesting things from my time at Sentosa (aside from visiting Fort Siloso) was seeing this in the forested area. This green piece of metal, winding about, is the remnants of the original Sentosa Monorail – operating all the way back from 1982 to 2005 when it finally ended operation owing to declining popularity as it was slow and uncomfortable.
The other thing I visited was the Sentosa Beach Tram, except, it probably should have been called the Sentosa Beach Scam. It’s not a tram at all – it’s basically electric buggy vehicles running between stations, free of charge. I was expecting … I dunno … something with rails?
Above is some shaky video taken out of the side of one of these “trams”. I guess at least I don’t have to walk. The loop buses on the island are also quite convenient and free of charge, which is nice. But the island still feels like a tourist trap – lots of fees and “artificial” amusements.
By Other Means
One of the most fascinating things about Singapore was the proliferation of rental bicycle schemes operated by the (now defunct) ofo, mobike and others.
When I was there, I thought this to be a brilliant idea at first until I saw the litter of bikes parked in inconsiderate locations. I also saw many that were somehow defective, seemingly left there for a long time without any real incentive to collect them.
At one point, I was tempted to give them a try, but I didn’t fancy handing over my credit card details to a company I’m not sure I trusted. I wasn’t sure how well it would work given a foreign card either, but I didn’t expect that as soon as I got home to Sydney, the same schemes would start to roll out at home as well!
It seems that they have a good set-up for private bicycle usage – this was at my nearest MRT station where they had a row of double-decker bicycle storage. Unfortunately it was quite empty …
It seemed a little complicated to use, so I’m glad they put up a sign about how to use the upper racks.
Singapore is pretty easy to get around on foot as well. The pedestrian crossings are mainly push-button type – interestingly the signs say “Press For Green Man”, which oddly implies that the main use for the button is to obtain green men and not to cross the road. In Chinatown, I spotted an unusual crossing where there was a card reader – apparently, seniors and disabled people can “tap” their card to enable a longer crossing time as required. This is not something I’ve seen implemented elsewhere.
One unexpected find was this banner in Little India, featuring the classic meme-style text which illustrates one thing – they have a parking problem.
While I was there in Singapore, ANZ had transferred its retail arm to DBS and shuttered their ATMs. That was big news I wasn’t aware of at all … not really transport related but I came across it on foot and it was a shock. I thought ANZ was doing well in Asia …
Conclusion
The transport in, out and around Singapore is quite amazingly convenient. It’s hard not to be jealous, but I suppose it’s easy for a geographically small country to have good public transport. But despite this, they still keep building more lines. I find it hard to explain, although it does seem some of the infrastructure is beginning to show its age.
I could never match the efforts of Land Transport Guru, where I learned a lot about the Singaporean transport network including a lot of practical knowledge about things like maximum travel times and history of various MRT lines. The site is well worth a visit for transport enthusiasts.
But I guess Singapore is mostly just a good country to fly through as an interconnection hub. There really isn’t that much to see and keep yourself occupied, unless you like the “tourist trap” style attractions and shopping. One week was good enough for me, so it was onwards to my next destination, where I hoped to see things which were a bit more up my alley.

Marina Bay is Singapore's newest district, created on reclaimed land just east of Riverside. It includes the areas east of Shenton Way and Esplanade Dr. Marina Bay is now truly the focal point in many visitors' itineraries: mixing business, shopping, entertainment and culture in one accessible district.
Understand
[edit]
The label "Marina Bay" is a little fuzzy. The bay is the body of water created by reclaiming land around the mouth of the Singapore River and blocked off from the sea by the Marina Barrage, but Singaporeans used to associate the name "Marina" with the Marina Square shopping mall and the many hotel developments around it on the north shore of the river. The half to the south of the river, or Marina South, was mostly unused reclaimed land until the government targeted it as Singapore's new downtown hub, turning it into the core of Singapore's urban transformation efforts. Now its centrepiece, the Marina Bay Sands hotel and casino, dominates the city skyline while sharing the spotlight with the super trees of Gardens by the Bay.
Get in
[edit]
Marina Bay is very well connected to all parts of Singapore. From the airport, Marina Bay Sands Hotel guests can use a shuttle bus for $9.
The northern side of the bay is best accessed through the Circle MRT Line, with stations at Esplanade (for Suntec City) and Promenade (for Suntec City and Millenia Walk, also on the Downtown Line). Or, you can walk for approximately 15 minutes through the underground (and air-conditioned) CityLink shopping mall from Raffles City (at the City Hall MRT station where the North-South and East-West lines intersect).
If you wish to head to Merlion Park, a less-touristed option would be to walk through an air-conditioned linkway within the Fullerton Hotel complex (near Raffles Place) towards the Bay.
The southern half, i.e. Marina Bay Sands and Gardens by the Bay, is best accessed through the Downtown MRT Line, with stations at Bayfront (for Marina Bay Sands and Gardens by the Bay), and Downtown for Lau Pa Sat and the Financial District. The eponymous Gardens by the Bay station of the Thomson-East Coast line is located on the southern side of the Gardens, and walking from here to Bayfront is a good options for exploring Gardens.
By boat
[edit]
Get around
[edit]
Suntec City, Marina Square, Millenia Walk and the Esplanade in the north are all conveniently linked, either by underground malls or covered walkways. If you don't mind a bit of a walk, the Marina Bay Sands can be reached from the northern half by walking south for 20 mins on the Helix Bridge, which has several viewing platforms overlooking the bay.

[edit]
Marina Bay Sands
[edit]
Marina Bay Sands hosts a slew of attractions. The easiest on your wallet would be to simply sit and enjoy the view of Shenton Way and the Esplanade from the shore, which are great in the day, but even more spectacular at night.
Gardens and parks
[edit]
Marina Bay adds a whole lot of greenery back to the city, all brought in and replanted. Some trees in the Gardens by the Bay are hundreds of years old, and some even date back a millennium. A visit to the Gardens can easily be combined with Marina Bay Sands, since Bayfront and Gardens by the Bay MRT stations are about 1 km apart and there's a shuttle bus ($3) between Bayfront and the Flower Dome.
The Marina South Pier offers a few ferry services out of the city to the Southern Islands of Kusu and St. John. The journey is probably more remarkable than the destinations.
Do
[edit]
Events
[edit]
Singapore Grand Prix is an on-street Formula One race held in Marina Bay. The next races are 20-22 Sept 2024 then 3-5 Oct 2025.
Buy
[edit]
Eat
[edit]
Budget
[edit]
As per usual in Singapore, cheap eats may be found in the food courts of the local shopping centres such as Food Republic and Fountain Food Terrace in Suntec City and The Gallerie in Marina Square. Don't expect any bargains within Marina Bay Sands though: even the Rasapura Masters food court is around twice the usual price.
Mid-range
[edit]
There are a lot of mid-range eateries in the shopping centres but not many are of note and are mostly part of standard food franchises found elsewhere. The Gardens by the Bay also has some casual dining if you decide to rest in the middle of a walk.
Splurge
[edit]
Marina Bay Sands has brought in a constellation of big names, with Daniel Boulud, Mario Batali, Wolfgang Puck, Santi Santamaria, Guy Savoy, and Tetsuya Wakuda all opening restaurants in the complex.
There are a few interesting places around Marina Square and in the Gardens of the Bay as well.
Drink
[edit]
This is the place to be if you are someone, know somebody or just want to get away from the common masses.
Sleep
[edit]
As the glitzy new waterfront of Singapore, Marina Bay accommodation is all made up of high-end hotels, most of which boast expansive city and water views. Cheaper hotels will be found in neighbouring districts. The area is particularly busy during the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix in September, with many booking hotel rooms to be right in the middle of the races. Bayfront Ave will be closed, so traffic to the Marina Bay Sands will be limited through the south end. The Helix Bridge will also be closed during the race weekend (except for those with Zone 1 tickets), making it more difficult to get around.
Splurge
[edit]
Go next
[edit]
Head eastwards to Riverside for its historic buildings or bigger nightlife, or north to Bugis for street shopping. Both are within walkable distance with frequent breaks, although the MRT may be a more comfortable ride, especially from Marina Bay Sands. You can also take bus 133 if you are heading from Marina Bay Sands to Bugis.
This district travel guide to Marina Bay has guide status. It has a variety of good, quality information including hotels, restaurants, attractions and arrival info. Please contribute and help us make it a star!

Ice walls are to be used for the first time in Singapore, to stabilise the ground during construction of the Thomson Line Marina Bay station.
Japanese contractor Taisei Corporation will freeze a section of earth to prevent water from seeping in when workers excavate a 40m stretch of tunnel for the station. Engineers will insert vertical freezing pipes into the ground and pump in brine, a refrigerant, to freeze the groundwater into watertight ice walls.
Mr Shaik Sha Marican, Land Transport Authority (LTA) director of the Thomson Line Civil Team 4, said the ice walls are a precautionary measure recommended by consultants who carried out an engineering study.
The 40m stretch of Thomson Line tunnel will run below the live Circle Line and North-South Line tunnels.
Mr Sha Marican explained that exposure to water over a period of time can weaken the soil and affect mining operations. This could have an impact on the two MRT lines running above.
"We are working below two live tunnels, so we do not want things to go wrong," he said.
Ice walls have been used in Japan, and Taisei has employed the method previously. It was awarded a $425 million contract to build the Thomson Line Marina Bay station and its tunnels.
Several steps must be taken before inserting vertical freezing pipes to create the ice walls.
Engineers must construct mining shafts on both sides of the 40m tunnel, then create openings to build a pedestrian linkway about 20m below the surface.
Shield tunnelling machines will be launched to cut existing steel piles that support the North-South Line tunnel. The machine will work in 1m sections, excavating and cutting piles before steel segments are installed to support the excavated surface.
After the piles are cleared, engineers will strengthen a section of the ground made up mainly of soft marine clay, which Mr Sha Marican described as "toothpaste-like material". The marine clay section extends to a depth of between 20m and 30m.
Cement and water will be injected into the marine clay to solidify it - a process called jet grouting. Vertical freezing pipes will also be installed to freeze the groundwater in the soil bed below the marine clay to a depth of 41m.
Brine will be pumped into the pipes to freeze the groundwater around and form ice walls. The refrigerant can range from -10 deg C to -40 deg C, depending on how thick the walls have to be.
Mr Sha Marican said details are being finalised. It could take a month for the ice walls to form. The LTA will monitor ground temperatures closely, and pump more brine into the ground if needed.
The ice walls will be in place for about six months while the lower Thomson Line tunnel is being excavated. Those working in the tunnel may have to wear winter clothing if it gets too cold, Mr Sha Marican said.
The freezing pipes will be deactivated after the lower tunnel is completed, so that the surrounding groundwater melts. Structural work for the Marina Bay station is expected to conclude in 2018.

The Asian city state of Singapore has experienced an enormous economic growth over the past few years. The requirements placed on the transportation infrastructure of this metropolis (5 mio. inhabitants) have risen to the same extent. Since the island state has only limited land available, developing a highly efficient metro network is the quickest and most space-saving way of linking the essential points of the island with one another. The Land Transport Authority (LTA) contractor, which is responsible to the Transportation Ministry, has set its ambitious target of doubling the existing Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) network. The idea is to grow to a total of 278 route km by 2020.
In 2003, the 20 km long North-East Line with its 16 stations was placed into service to link the center of Singapore with the north-eastern section. 2 Herrenknecht EPB Shields (6.55 m diameter) were involved in developing the rail network; they excavated 2 double-tubed metro tunnels of a total 3,200 m length. In view of the changing ground conditions to be expected, the cutting wheels were adjusted to the geology and additionally equipped with hard rock cutting tools. This resulted in tunnelling performances of up to 140 m per week with both machines experiencing the final breakthrough in November/December 1999.
Additional lines such as the Circle Line (CCL) and Downtown Line (DTL) are currently being built to ensure new rapid connections within Singapore. The 33.3 km Circle Line with its 29 stops should be finished and in fully automatic operation in 2011. Its Botanic Garden and Serangoon stops provide a direct connection to the North-South and North-East Metro Line. In particular, the many commuters will benefit from the new line skirting in future the crowded stations in the south. 9 Herrenknecht EPB Shields (7x 6.60 m diameter; 2x 6.58 m diameter) made their way through the underground composed in part of the “Jurong” formation with its fresh to weathered sandstone.
The EPB Shields’ working principle revealed its true worth in Singapore’s ground of soft geological formations and low water permeability. The soil excavated by the cutting wheel is used to support the tunnel face. Foam injected in front of the cutting wheel makes the excavated soil into a paste, guaranteeing the exact control of the support pressure as well as the efficient removal of the excavated soil. The decision was made in favor of the Herrenknecht Mixshield technology (2x 6.64 m diameter) for the 2.9 km section between the One-North and Farrer Road stations. Using the machines more than 23,000 m of tunnelling were achieved for the Circle Line.
Construction of the new Downtown Line Stage 3 (DTL3) which is about to start is split into 3 phases and will be completed by 2016. 500,000 passengers a day will eventually be using the new line. It makes direct connection possible from the north-western and eastern part of the island to the Central Business District and Marina Bay. The benefits are obvious in that the traveling time will be cut by a third from the Bukit Panjang Station to the city center. In addition, commuters from the Bedok Reservoir and Tampines can change from bus to the more rapid metro link.
For the second phase of the new Downtown Line Stage 2 (DTL2), faith again is being placed in Herrenknecht tunnel boring machines. The machines are designed and constructed in Germany where manufacturing is also undertaken of the main components, such as cutting wheel drive and process technology including control cabin and hydraulic station. After being shipped they are then assembled in the Herrenknecht workshops in Guangzhou/China.
The intention is for 10 machines (6x EPB Shield; 4x Mixshield; 6.66 m diameter each) to work their way through the geology. The first 2 Mixshield TBM for the lot C916 have successfully passed workshop acceptance in 2010 with a planned start of jobsite assembly in May 2011. In December 2010 and January 2011 the first 2 EPB Shields for the lot C919 were also accepted at the workshop with a planned start of jobsite assembly also in May 2011. Construction and assembly of the remaining 6 machines (lots C917 and C918) is currently under way.
To avoid any clogging in the heterogeneous ground and at the same time break the hard Bukit Timah granite, the designers have opted for a hard rock cutting wheel with sufficient opening ratio and edging done with a large number of disc cutters, especially in the gauge area. The cutting tools are designed with new bigger shaft dimensions, pressure compensation units to overcome high pressure up to 4 bar, additional wear protection and special cutter rings. The machines’ cutterheads are equipped with a driving power ranging from 1,200 kW to 1,750 kW. To prevent any impediment to the tunnelling works of the 2 Mixshields, the customer also insisted on delivery of 2 effective separation plants (overall capacity: up to 2,400 m3 an hour) for separating the excavated ground from the bentonite suspension.
The design of the segment rings defines a ring division of 5+1 and a ring length of 1.40 m. The inner diameter will be 5.80 m at an outer diameter of 6.35 m.
Equipping will in all probability be such by 2015 so as to see completion of the second phase of the project with its 16.6 route km and 12 stations.

Marina Bay (NS27/CE2/TE20) is a Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station on the North–South Line, the Circle Line and the Thomson–East Coast Line[1].
History[edit]
Date Event 4 November 1989 Station officially opened 8 January 2006 Station involved in Exercise Northstar V (Counter terrorism)[2] 14 January 2012 Station interchanged with Circle Line 13 November 2022 Station interchanged with Thomson–East Coast Line
Construction challenges[edit]
The construction of the tunnel to the station was rather challenging at the time, as the tunnel went below the Telok Ayer basin and the station and tunnels were to be built in soft soil. Due to the soft marine clay, open excavation was not possible. Divers had to cut the 20m trenches, where the MRT tunnels were to be laid, in zero visibility and very muddy water. A concrete base for the tunnels was then laid with the water pumped out for the tunnels and the station to be built on. The tunnels were then covered with another layer of concrete before the seabed was refilled.[3][4] During the construction, a World War II-era bomb was found at the work site. The Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) Bomb Disposal Unit was called and the bomb was safely detonated elsewhere.[5]
Ground freezing will also be applied for the first time in Singapore rail construction when building the Thomson–East Coast Line part of this station, where it under-cross the existing North–South Line and Circle Line tunnels.[6]
Artworks[edit]
North–South Line: National Day Babies in 2015 by Tay Kay Chin
These 50 photographed images featured 53 Singaporeans born from year 1965 to 2014 as a birthday gift to Singapore in celebrating SG50. The 53 Singaporeans chosen reflects Singapore's demography in terms of gender, ethnic, and occupation. Sharing these photographs of people born on August 9, our National Day, who take different routes to success, the artist hopes to inspire all who passes by the artwork to strive and believe in one self and succeed in doing something extraordinary for the benefit of our nation.
Circle Line: Train Rides on Rainy Days by Nah Yong En
Just as rain brings cool relief and wash the city anew, this collection of images brings a refreshing element of nature into the underground station. The 14 raindrop photos depict scenes that commuters can see if they looked out of the window during a rainy train ride above ground.[7]
Circle Line: Flowers in Blossom II by Tay Chee Toh
The mobile of delicate sculptures resembling flowers was originally hung in Orchard station. It was re-commissioned as homage to the legacy of art in Singapore’s MRT train stations, even before the Art in Transit programme was launched in 1997 for the North East Line.[7]
Architecture[edit]
Visibility, integration and efficiency as the focal points when designing the Circle Line portion of the station. The design also has provisions for a future underground pedestrian network and connections to future developments. The translucent canopy acts as a skylight to allow natural light into the underground hall. The large entrance also allows large amounts of natural light to enter the station.[8] To limit the visual impact of the station to the surrounding park landscape, only the lift, escalators, the lightweight ETFE canopy and the reflective pool are visible from street level, giving users a full view of the park from the station entrance. The reflective pool also provides a smooth transition between the exits and the park.[9]
The station design was the winner of the Small Project Award at the World Architecture Festival in 2012.[9] Other awards includes the Land Transport Excellence Awards 2012,[10] the 2013 UIPT Asia-Pacific Grow with Public Transport Award[11] and honourable mention for the Singapore Institute of Architects Architectural Design Awards 2012.[12]

Singapore MRT trains at Ang Mo Kio. Photo by Mark S. Feinman, September 1995.
Mass Rapid Transit
Singapore MRT Ltd (SMRT), a private company incorporated on August 6th, 1987, is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the Singapore Mass Rapid Transit (or MRT). SMRT is also required to replace their operating assets when deemed necessary. Their mission is to enable mass transportation in major traffic areas to satisfy public travel needs safely and reliably at a competitive fare. Approximately 2,600 people work for SMRT.
The basis of the MRT was a 4 year study that began in 1967 that done by the Singapore government and the United Nations Development Program. It forecast that a rail system would be needed by 1992 and roads necessary to accommodate increasing traffic patterns could not be built because there simply wasn't enough land to build them on. Later studies recommended 2 basic lines - one running east-west and the other north-south. The government even hired an independent team from Harvard to review the assumptions made by previous studies. The Harvard group recommended that an all-bus network be examined as an alternative (anyone in the US surprised by this one??). A rail vs bus study concluded in 1981 determined that the rail system was crucial to meeting anticipated transportation requirements; an all-bus system would compete for already overcrowded road space.
At the time of initial construction, the MRT was considered the largest public works project in Singapore's history. Initial groundbreaking was Oct 22nd, 1983, and the first trains started running on November 7th, 1987. The first 67 km of the MRT system, containing 42 stations, opened in stages. The first 6km stretch was between Toa Payoh and Yio Chu Kang. By December of 1987, trains ran via Orchard Road and Raffles Place to Outram Park. In March of 1988, trains ran to Clementi. The entire 67 km was operational by July 7th, 1990, and was built at a cost of $5 billion Singapore dollars. An additional 16km was added on February 10th, 1996, that connected a spur line at Choa Chu Kang with the original North South line at Yishun. The North-South line became a semi-loop around the island via Woodlands. This addition was built at an additional S$1.2 billion.
The current MRT consists of two lines - an east-west line from Pasir Ris to Boon Lay and a semi-loop from Jurong East to Marina Bay via Woodlands. It was designed to link housing areas with the central business district. Accessing the CBD in Singapore during rush hours by automobile requires a special permit because of traffic congestion, an interesting way that the Singapore government tries to promote the use of rapid transit. The fare structure is zoned with fares ranging from S$0.60 to S$1.80.
The MRT operates every day from 5:30am to 12:30am. Peak periods are Monday to Friday from 8:00am to 9:00am and 5:15pm to 6:30pm. and Saturdays from 8:15am to 9:00am and 1:00pm to 2:30pm. Rush hour headways are as follows:
Yishun to Marina Bay: 2-4 minutes
Pasir Ris to Boon Lay: 2-4 minutes
Yishun to Jurong East: 5-6 minutes
Off-peak headways run an average of 6 minutes. Total number of trains in operation: 75/day.
Stations
There are 48 stations on the MRT system, 15 of which are underground, 32 elevated and one on the surface. Major transfer points are at City Hall, Raffles Place and Jurong East. All underground stations are air-conditioned and are enclosed by glass-doors similar to those found on the Newark International Airport monorail. There were two purposes to this - one for safety and the other to save on air conditioning costs. These doors are operated using compressed air and provide a tolerance of +/-500mm between the train doors and the platform doors. SMRT claims that they open approximately 300 times a day.
Fare Collection
Access to the system is through the use of farecards, either single use or through stored value cards called TransitLink Farecards. Single use tickets are retained by the exit gates for recycling. TransitLink cards can be used on both the MRT and the extensive bus system and a rebate of S$0.25 is given when you transfer between 2 buses or from the MRT to a bus and vice versa. The maximum value the farecard holds is S$50.00.
Another type of farecard called the GIRO allows a farecard holder to automatically maximize the value of the card when it runs out. The card has to be swiped through MRT GIRO gates or bus validators. The easiest way to explain this is that it's a rapid transit EZ-Pass, except the money is transferred directly from a user's bank account to SMRT instead of from a credit card.
Reduced fares are offered to young children, students and senior citizens. Fares for children and students are S$0.40 or S$0.50, and for senior citizens, good only during non-rush hours, are S$0.60 or S$0.70.
A souvenir ticket is also offered at a cost of S$6.00 that offers S$5.50 worth of rides. When the value of the ticket is used up, the user can keep the ticket as a souvenir. You could also purchase a single-use card for S$0.60, but you are taking your chances regarding what you'll see on the farecard. Most of the farecards contain advertisements but some have nice outdoor pictures of the MRT.

Track types:
On viaducts, conventional timber sleepers on stone ballast
In tunnels, concrete sleepers set in continuous concrete slab
In tunnels through sensitive areas ("sensitive" is not defined but I'd assume under buildings where foundations might not be able to take the vibrations), floating slab track set in concrete units resting on resilient pads.

Trains:
85 trains, usually 6 cars per train, numbered Cab 3201, motor 1101, motor 2201 or Cab 3001, motor 1001, motor 2001. Cab/motor/motor are permanently coupled to another 3 car set (although I have seen a 4 car train in shuttle service occasionally). Interiors are painted different colors. Trains are automatically controlled and the "train operator" closes the doors at each station. Multiple chimes are heard before the doors close. All stations, transfer announcements and door closing announcements (heard only if the doors are held open longer than a pre-determined length) are from an automated, female voice. Passengers can pass between cars without going through doors; passage links are provided. The cars also use regenerative braking returning power to the system.

North-East Line
The new North-East MRT line in Singapore opened in June, 2003, and interconnects with the previously existing East-West and North-South lines. Denoted in purple color on system maps, it runs from Harbour Front in the south to Punggol in the northeastern part of the island city-state.
The trains are unitized six-car sets, with walk-through articulation. Each car has four doors per side, longitudinal seats (62 per car), and ceiling handholds along the center of the car. Yes, one can still be a straphanger in Singapore. The trainsets use AC propulsion as denoted by the telltale multi-pitch whine. Station stops are announced automatically, using a woman's voice that has a British accent. She even throws in "mind the gap!" for good measure. Each car has six plasma TV screens that show commercial messages; station information scrolls along the bottom. There are also two ceiling-mounted LCD displays that also show station information.
Operation is totally automatic. In fact, there is no cab; the trainsets have a similar appearance to airport peoplemovers -- with a covered drivers' console that can be used in an emergency. In a throwback to tradition, there are two railfan windows, one at either side of the front car. In automatic operation, dwell time is set and doors close automatically after a warning signal. I saw no door holding at any time, even during rush hour. There are supposedly roving customer service personnel; I thought I saw one sitting in the middle of the train. He wasn't wearing a uniform, but was holding a two-way radio.
Stations are immaculate -- there was not one piece of litter on any platform or train. Station cleaners were everywhere. Like the older lines, modern faregates use proximity cards. Fares range from S$0.80 to S1.80 depending on distance travelled. Station platforms have screen doors, so all stations are well air-conditioned.
Station mezzanines and transfer corridors along the new line are spacious and well-lit. They are also "ADA-compatible," or would be if there was an ADA-like law in Singapore (the older lines are not).
Sengkang LRT
On the Singapore MRT route map, one notices a notation for the "Sengkang LRT System," which is not a street-running light rail system, but rather an elevated peoplemover very similar to what one finds at airports now, such as Newark and San Francisco. It runs through a community that reminds you of dozens of Co-op Cities side-by-side -- hundreds of high-rise apartment houses, but all very modern. The LRT appears to be the primary mode of transport for what are tens of thousands of residents.
The LRT is a single car automated peoplemover (manufactured by Kawasaki Heavy Industries) that operates in an elevated guideway. The Sengkang line consists of two loops, one to the east and the other to the west of the Sengkang station on the MRT NE line. Currently, only the east loop is in operation; the west loop is due to open later this year. The loop has an outer and inner track, and cars run in opposite direction around the loop. There are two cars per track, and so with a running time of about 11 minutes around the loop, there's a car about every 5-1/2 mintues in each direction. One can ride around in either direction from all stations. Transfers to/from the MRT are free. The one-way ride to central Singapore is S$2.80 (about US$1.60), though if you don't leave the system, you can ride everywhere and exit the original station for the minimum fare of S$0.80.
The system map shows another LRT route on the other side of the island branching from the Chao Chu Kang station on the older North-South line; which is assumed to be similar in operation.

SINGAPORE: If you’re travelling from Telok Blangah to the Marina Bay area by MRT, changing trains twice on your journey will soon be a thing of the past.
The final stretch of tunnelling works for Circle Line 6 (CCL6) was completed on Wednesday (Jan 12).
This comprises three underground stations - Keppel, Cantonment and Prince Edward Road - closing the loop between HarbourFront and Marina Bay stations. This means commuters will be able to get a direct line from Telok Blangah to Marina Bay, for instance, saving about 10 minutes of travel time.
With the CCL6 extension on track to open in 2026, a year later than initially scheduled, it will allow easier access to areas such as Spottiswoode, Keppel Road and the southern edge of the central business district.
There will then be a total of 33 stations along the entire Circle Line, including 12 interchange stations that connect to other MRT lines.

One thing that surprises people about the city is the atmosphere and life that abounds beneath the city. Some stations are enormous and have shops, restaurants, and more!
Unlike in many other cities, having a shop in the metro station is a great location!
Lines
The MRT has five lines
NS (North-South Line, Red): from Marina Bay to Jurong East.
EW (East-West Line, Green) goes from the Changi Airport to Tuas Link. It takes 27 mins from the airport to the center.
NE (North-East Line, Brown): Connects HarbourFront (the stop if you want to go to Sentosa) and Punggol.
CC (Circle Line, Yellow): Connects HarbourFront and Marina Bay.
DTL (Downtown Line, Blue): Connects Bukit Panjang in the northeast and Expo to the east.
No Durians Please
Something that's sure to surprise you is the restrictions on the MRT. On the metro, you can't smoke, eat, drink, or bring on board flammable substances or (the cherry on the cake) durian fruit.
These are local fruits which, although tasty, smell terrible! And as well as on the metro, they're banned from hotels.
Schedule
The metro runs from 5:30 am to 12:30 am. The frequency varies from 2 to 8 minutes depending on the line and the time of day.
Price
The price of the Singapore MRT depends on the distance traveled. It varies between 1.50 SGD (€ 1) and 2.50 SGD (€ 1.70) per journey.

Singapore has been burrowing underground since the 19th century, but it was only after Independence that serious efforts were made to use subterranean space.
By Lim Tin Seng

Gleaming skyscrapers are a common sight in Singapore’s city centre as the country attempts to overcome the limitations of space by reaching skywards. Less obvious, but no less important, are Singapore’s efforts to take advantage of space underground.
Some of these underground structures are marvels of engineering. Located 150 m below Jurong Island, the Jurong Rock Caverns have been hailed as “Singapore’s deepest underground project”. Officially opened in September 2014, the nine-storey high caverns are designed to hold liquid hydrocarbons such as crude oil and condensate. These caverns have a total capacity of 1.47 million cubic metres, which is the equivalent of 600 Olympic-sized swimming pools.
The Jurong Rock Caverns are not accessible to the public though. Those who wish to see what Singapore looks like in the depths of the earth don’t have to go far. All they need to do is take a trip on the Downtown Line to Bencoolen Station. At 43 m below the surface, this is currently Singapore’s deepest MRT station where the station platform is on level B6. (Spoiler alert: it looks like an MRT station platform.) Even a simple drive can take you far below the surface. One stretch of the 5-kilometre-long Marina Coastal Expressway is not merely underground, it is actually beneath the seabed.

Thanks to advanced technology, Singapore has been able to reach depths that would have been considered unimaginable only a few decades ago. However, burrowing underground is not a recent phenomenon here. Before the war, the British constructed tunnels under bunkers and forts to aid the defence of Singapore. Located in places such as Pasir Panjang, Sentosa and Labrador Park, these subterranean walkways were primarily used to store ammunition.
However, between 1936 and 1941, the British built a tunnel network under Fort Canning Hill that was different from the rest. Known today as the Battlebox, the 9-metre-deep maze was the command centre for the Malaya Command during World War II. Bomb- and flood-proof, the underground structure was “a self-containing centre” equipped with an electricity generator, a ventilation system and over 20 purpose-built rooms.

Interestingly, an even older underground military structure lies close to Battlebox. This is the sally port that was part of the old Fort Canning. When Fort Canning was built on top of the hill in 1861, it had a narrow, easily defended passageway called a sally port that burrowed from the fort on top of the hill and led to a path on the side of the hill, some 6 m below. The sally port allowed soldiers to enter and leave the fort without compromising the fort’s defence. The entrance to the sally port lies about 15 m from the entrance to the Battlebox.
Shown here is the entrance to the sally port, which is located about 15 m from the Battlebox. It is an even older underground military structure than the Battlebox, and allowed soldiers to enter and leave the fort without compromising the fort’s defence. Photo by and courtesy of Jimmy Yap.
While military installations may capture the imagination, it is probably accurate to say that in the pre-war years, the island’s underground spaces were mainly used for the laying of utilities. Comprising power transmission cables, gas pipes, sewerage pipes, telephone lines and water mains, these were placed in the ground by the Singapore Municipality “to keep them out of sight” as well as to protect them from elements and human-inflicted damages.
One of the earliest underground utilities laid was the water mains of MacRitchie Reservoir. Built in the late 1870s to replace an old brick conduit, these 0.6-metre cast iron pipes conveyed water from the reservoir to the town of Singapore via Thomson Road. To lay the water mains, the Municipality used the conventional trenching method where a trench was dug for the pipes before being filled back in. (This method was also deployed for other underground utilities projects including the island’s first sewerage pipes in the 1910s. )
Laying these pipes was not an easy task. The municipality encountered “considerable difficulties” as the “pipes have had to be laid mostly in soft, water-logged ground which necessitated substantial timbering to trenches, continuous pumping, and a considerable amount of shoring to buildings”.
These projects were also not popular because of the inconvenience the digging created on the surface, especially when it involved digging up roads. As the Straits Times noted in 1928: “So long as the Municipality continue to extend the water, electricity, and sanitation services throughout the city, so long will the invaluable Tamil labourer continue to obstruct the public roads, and so long will disgruntled members of the public half-seriously assert that the Municipality dig holes in the roads for the sheer fun of doing it.”
Today, there are over 5,700 km of underground water mains in Singapore, compared to 1,300 km in 1958. During the same period, underground power transmission cables have also increased from a mere 82 km to more than 11,500 km. The story is the same for underground sewerage pipes network, which have increased in length from 423 km to 3,600 km.

Moving Beyond Underground Utilities: Mass Rapid Transit
The post-war years saw the beginnings of an effort to move structures underground (as opposed to just utilities). In 1965, Singapore opened its first underground car park. Located at Raffles Place, the 127 m by 27 m structure accommodated up to 150 vehicles and was linked to the basement of Robinsons department store via an underground walkway. However, it was not until 1982 when Singapore started building the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) system that the country began to use its underground spaces on a grander scale.
The initial MRT network was first launched in 1987 and completed in 1990. It had 42 stations and covered a total length of 67 km, of which 48 km are aboveground while the remaining 19 km are underground.
Given that this was Singapore’s first major effort at tunnelling underground, there were issues. In November 1985, there were several cave-ins along Scotts Road due to the alluvial nature of the soil there. Tunnelling works under Robinson Road also had to be halted the following month when the boring machine encountered soft marine clay. Nonetheless, these problems were resolved through engineering ingenuity such as using compressed air to hold up the soft texture of the soil, and injecting a high pressure mixture of cement and water to solidify soft marine clay.
Over subsequent decades, the acquisition of new technical know-how on tunnelling has enabled lines such as the North-East Line, Circle Line, Downtown Line and Thomson-East Coast Line to be constructed entirely underground.
Tunnelling underground is not easy because of challenging soil conditions that could be “as soft as toothpaste, mixed with giant hard rocks”. At other times, the tunnels had to be dug to depths of up to 14 storeys in order to circumvent existing underground infrastructure such as utility pipes and previously constructed MRT lines. Engineers even had to divert part of the Singapore River and Eu Tong Sen Canal to allow tunnelling works to be carried out safely for the Downtown and North-East lines respectively.

While all construction work is dangerous, there are additional dangers to working underground as the Nicoll Highway collapse on 20 April 2004 has shown. Four men were killed when the tunnel they were working on as part of the Circle Line collapsed. The collapse caused a wide section of Nicoll Highway to cave in, resulting in blackouts in surrounding areas. The body of foreman Heng Yeow Pheow was never found.
For large infrastructure works such as public transport rail lines, the Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) is used. Tunnelling using a TBM is made up of two phases. During the excavation phase, the TBM will burrow through the ground using its robust cutters like a mechanical mole. The crushed soil and rocks are then removed from the tunnel. The second or the “ring-building” phase will take place after the TBM has tunnelled through 1.4 m of ground. Here, segments of prefabricated reinforced concrete are lowered into the tunnel before being put up against the wall using hydraulic equipment and bolted into place to form a ring. This ring will be the platform for the underground project to be carried out.
Currently, the three most common types of TBMs used in Singapore are the Slurry Shield TBM, the Earth Pressure Balance TBM and the Rectangular TBM. The slurry shield TBM acts like a powerful blender with a cutterhead filled with bentonite slurry that can stabilise the tunnel face as it bores through the soil. With the Earth Pressure Balance TBM, the materials dug out during tunnelling are used to support the tunnel face for the TBM to carry out its task. Finally, the Rectangular TBM features a rectangular instead of a circular cutterhead so that a rectangular tunnel can be constructed underground. These machines are enormous. The Rectangular TBM, for example, measures 5.6 m by 7.6 m.
Road Tunnels and Expressways
While the initial MRT system was being built, Singapore also embarked on another underground transportation project comprising a 700-metre tunnel linking Bukit Timah Road to Cairnhill Circle, a 1.7-kilometre tunnel from Kramat Road to Chin Swee Road and a three-storey underground interchange with five slip tunnels at Clemenceau Avenue. These tunnels became part of the 15.5-kilometre Central Expressway (CTE), which was completed in 1991 and connects the city centre to housing estates such as Toa Payoh, Bishan and Ang Mo Kio.
As the project was carried out in the middle of the densely populated city area under various soil conditions, the excavation and tunnelling work “demanded a high level of technical expertise and skill”. Six different types of temporary retaining walls had to be erected along the route to hold back the soil, and noise and vibration monitoring instruments were attached to about 40 buildings located within 50 m of the excavation sites. The Singapore River also had to be dammed in stages over a period of two years for construction to be carried out.
Lessons learned from these projects are applied to the construction of more road tunnels along expressways like the Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway (KPE) and the Marina Coastal Expressway (MCE), as well as arterial roads such as Fort Canning Tunnel, Woodsville Tunnel and Sentosa Gateway.
The MCE, in particular, was especially challenging to build. At the opening ceremony of the MCE in December 2013, then Minister of State for Transport and Finance Josephine Teo noted that the 5-kilometre-long expressway was the “toughest tunnelling project the Land Transport Authority (LTA) has ever undertaken”. Digging through reclaimed land, some of the soil was described as being “like peanut butter”, while a 420 m segment of the expressway had to be built beneath the seabed. That segment is just 130 m from the Marina Barrage, which added to construction difficulties as the barrage would regularly discharge water when it rained heavily, making the environment unpredictable.
Today, at least 10 percent of Singapore’s roads are located underground. This figure will grow in the future as the 21.5-kilometre North-South Corridor (NSC) – slated to be completed in 2027 – will have a vehicular expressway underground and a public transport corridor above. Besides the NSC, there will also be more underground arterial roads, especially in upcoming housing estates like Tengah. Tengah is designed to have Singapore’s first car-free town centre, with roads running underground to free up space above for pedestrians and cyclists.
Underground Pedestrian Networks
Other than an underground road network for vehicles, there are also underpasses for pedestrians built since the late 1960s. Initially, pedestrians found these underpasses “inconvenient” or “eerie” to use, as the New Nation reported in 1981: “[S]ome [pedestrians] shrugged and said they didn’t know where the underpasses were. Others exclaimed: ‘Aiyah, so inconvenient!’. Some spoke of the eerie feeling walking alone in an underpass, especially at night. ‘What if something or someone pounced at you from behind?’ one pedestrian asked.”
Following the release of the Development Guide Plan for the new Downtown Core in 1996 that proposed turning underpasses into pedestrian malls, the first of such malls, CityLink Mall, was completed in 2000. Stretching some 350 m, the mall offers about 65,000 sq ft (6,039 sq m) of retail space, and links City Hall MRT Station and Raffles City to Marina Centre, Suntec City and the Esplanade. With its high ceilings, wide walkways and strategically placed skylights to allow natural light to stream in, these design elements strive to achieve an aboveground effect so “it doesn’t feel like an underground mall at all”. In 2010, a second underground pedestrian mall, the 179,000-square-foot (16,630 sq m) Marina Bay Link Mall, was built. It links One Raffles Quay with the Marina Bay area.

Going Even Deeper
In the early 2000s, Singapore embarked on a new method to lay underground utilities. Known as the Common Services Tunnel (CST), this tunnel system conveys telecommunication cables, power lines and potable water to buildings in the Marina Bay financial district. The CST also houses pipes that supply chilled water to buildings for their air-conditioning needs as well as pneumatic tubes for refuse collection.
The 5.7-kilometre CST is “as big as two MRT tunnels” and its construction, which began in 2001, was met with “immense” challenges. To avoid existing underground infrastructure such as MRT lines, and pier and wharf structures buried under reclaimed land, engineers had to tunnel at depths of up to 20 m underground. At one point, they even had to dig through a 1.5-kilometre-long breakwater of solid rock dating back to the colonial era. Operational since 2006, the CST freed up space above, saved costs and reduced carbon emissions.
Then there is the Transmission Cable Tunnel, which has been described as one of the world’s deepest electricity supply projects, and completed in 2018. Located at a depth of between 60 m and 80 m underground (compared to underground MRT tunnels which are 30 m to 40 m deep), the project comprises three tunnels – North-South, East-West and Jurong Island-Pioneer Tunnels. Ranging from a diameter of 6 to 11 m each, these tunnels can house the entire nation’s 500 km of extra-high voltage cables with the capacity to hold another 700 km more in the future. These tunnels allow the easy monitoring and replacement of cables with minimal disruption to traffic and the lives of Singaporeans.
The Deep Tunnel Sewerage System (DTSS) is another underground utilities project that requires engineers to dig deep and tunnel through difficult soil conditions. Conceived in 1997, the DTSS “uses deep tunnel sewers to convey used water by gravity to centralised water reclamation plants”. Currently, the more than 100-kilometre-long DTSS serves the northern and eastern parts of Singapore through a network of sewers that are linked to two deep tunnel sewers. With diameters of up to 6 m, the two deep tunnel sewers had to be placed at a depth of up to 55 m underground. Phase 1 was completed in 2008, but phase 2 is still under construction. It is slated to be completed in 2025.
The Underground Ammunition Facility (UAF), completed in 2008, is the country’s “first cavern development” and “the world’s most modern underground ammunition depot”. It took 10 years to build and is located under the old Mandai Quarry at an undisclosed depth. By storing ammunition in the UAF, this has helped free up about 300 ha of land, or the equivalent of 400 football fields.
Besides saving land, the use of automation and technology reduced manpower operational needs by 20 percent compared to a traditional depot, and insulation by the granite caverns also cut the energy required for cooling by half. This paved the way for the Jurong Rock Caverns project, which has enabled Singapore to free up some 60 ha of land, or the equivalent of 70 football fields, for other development works.
What Lies Beneath?
In the decades ahead, it is very likely that Singapore will intensify its underground efforts. To prepare for this, the State Lands Act and Land Acquisition Act were amended in 2015 to facilitate the use and development of underground space by clarifying the extent of underground ownership and the introduction of strata powers for the acquisition of a specific stratum of space.
When Singapore adopted the 2019 Master Plan in November 2019 to guide the island’s development over the next 10 to 15 years, it laid out a number of key initiatives that are likely to transform the way Singaporeans are going to live on the island in the future. These include creating greener and more sustainable neighbourhoods as well as creating jobs closer to homes. The master plan also called for the increased usage of subterranean spaces through an “Underground Master Plan”. The idea is to use the space beneath for infrastructure such as pedestrian walkways, rail lines, utilities, warehousing and storage facilities. This way, the land above can be freed up for housing, community uses and greenery.
In 2017, the Singapore Land Authority, in collaboration with the Singapore-ETH Centre, was tasked to map out a three-dimensional underground plan of the island in a project called Digital Underground to study how underground space can be used more efficiently and effectively. (This centre was established by ETH Zurich – a public research university in Switzerland – and Singapore’s National Research Foundation to develop sustainable solutions to global challenges). The plan will be an important asset to building owners, developers and town planners as it will provide a “realistic, digital representation of the physical world below”, including the accurate locations of subterranean infrastructure such as underground utilities and pedestrian walkways.
As tunnelling technology improves and as initiatives such as the Digital Underground mature, Singapore is likely to pursue even more projects underground to free up valuable space on the surface.
WHAT ARE WE STEPPING ON? The 158-metre Raffles City Tower in the background shows how deep Singapore has been tunnelling underground.
In the future, even more infrastructure will be moved underground to free up space above for development projects that will enhance the lives of Singaporeans. This infographic gives an idea of how Singapore’s subterranean spaces have been utilised so far.

Bras Basah MRT station lies in the heart of the Historic Civic District in Singapore. As such, one of the design requirements during the international design competition was that the station should not block the Singapore Art Museum.
The winning underground design from WOHA retains the visual connection to the external environment, with a station roof that doubles up as a reflecting pool and skylight. This brings daylight into the deep station while creating a landscaped water garden for the museum on the surface. When viewed from the park, the pool mirrors the museum against the blue sky; from the station concourse, sunlight and shadows create a dynamic light show.
Â
Located next to the National Stadium, station architects WOHA had to address the scale of the large buildings in the vicinity and accommodate for surge crowds during events at the Singapore Indoor Stadium and the National Stadium. An open-air concourse and plaza space at ground-level as well as fare gates at opposite ends of the station offer plenty of space for crowds to snake into queues. The form of the station was inspired by the dynamic flux of human traffic and inflected by the sweeping curves of the stadium. Contrasting a linear element against a curved one, the station design was conceived as a dramatic silver canyon that is breathtaking in scale. As one takes the downward escalators to the platform, the curved wall closes in to reveal a slit of daylight along the entire platform.
Â
Located in a public park, Marina Bay MRT station is an integral part of the Marina Bay development and an interchange station for the North-South and Circle lines. The stationâs design integrates it  into the park through landscaping. A translucent canopy allows natural light to penetrate deep into the underground concourse. To minimise the visual impact of the station on the surrounding park, only elements such as the lift, entrance glazed enclosure, lightweight canopy and reflective pool are visible on the ground level. As one exits from the station, commuters are greeted with a panoramic view of the landscape.

Marina Bay MRT Station (NS27/TE20/CE2) is an underground interchange station located in the Downtown Core planning subzone, built alongside Bayfront Avenue. The station connects the North South Line (NSL), the Circle Line (CCL) extension, as well as the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL). It joined Dhoby Ghaut and Outram Park stations as a three-line interchange station within the MRT network upon the opening of TEL Stage 3 on 13 Nov 2022.
Serving the Marina Bay area, named after the water body it surrounds, Marina Bay station serves limited nearby developments, but will be situated in the heart of the new Central Business District currently being built around it.
The TEL station was originally targeted for completion and opening in Year 2021. However, it was delayed till 2022 as mentioned in the SMRT Operations Review 2020. TEL 3 opened for passenger service on 13 Nov 2022.
Currently the terminus of the Circle Line extension, Marina Bay will be an intermediate stop for the Circle Line once the Circle Line Stage 6 between Marina Bay and HarbourFront stations opens in 2026. In the meantime, both platforms are utilized for train turnarounds. As reflected in the Future Network Map as of March 2020, the station code will change again to NS27TE20CC33 with the opening of Circle Line Stage 6.
The Marina Bay Temporary Maintenance Facility for Downtown Line trains was also built at this station as part of the Circle Line Extension to facilitate operations of Downtown Line Stage 1. Works to remove the disused tracks leading to the maintenance facility from the Circle Line took place in 2021. The area was converted to an unpaid link between Exit 5 at the TEL Paid Link, the NSL & CCL ticket concourses, as well as Exit 2, which opened on 1 November 2023.

Former Marina Bay Temporary Maintenance Facility [Restricted Area] Platform C:
Circle Line towards CC6 Stadium via CE1DT16 Bayfront (→)
Circle Line towards CC29NE1 Harbourfront via CE1DT16 Bayfront (Peak Hours) (→)
Platform D:
Circle Line towards CC6 Stadium via CE1DT16 Bayfront (→)
Circle Line towards CC29NE1 Harbourfront via CE1DT16 Bayfront (Peak Hours) (→)
The Circle Line platform uses a conventional island platform layout. CCL platforms were renumbered from A & B to C & D respectively upon the opening of the TEL on 13 Nov 2022.
As part of the Circle Line Extension, train services on the Circle Line will operate as a shuttle between Marina Bay and Stadium stations throughout most of the day. However, during the weekday peak hours (07:00 – 09:17 & 16:51 – 21:12), train services from Marina Bay will serve the full line, operating between Marina Bay and HarbourFront stations via Bishan. Both platforms are utilized alternately by terminating trains.
With the platforms at Basement 1 accessible only via the Ticket Concourse / Transfer Hall at Basement 2, Marina Bay CCL station is the first underground MRT station to have its platform level above the concourse level.
Just beside the Circle Line station is the former Marina Bay Temporary Maintenance Facility (MBTMF). As Downtown Line Stage 1 (22 Dec 2013 to 26 Dec 2015) was disconnected from the main depot at Gali Batu, the Temporary Maintenance Facility was used to provide for low-level maintenance work for the Bombardier MOVIA C951 rolling stock prior to the opening of Downtown Line Stage 2. In the meantime, trains used the Circle Line’s Kim Chuan Depot for the launching of trains and major maintenance works.
MBTMF was built as part of the Circle Line Extension. Concealed from view behind a concrete partition wall, the facility can be seen from the scissors crossing just north of the station, with a single access track joining the northbound track. The tracks were removed in May 2021. The facility was converted to an unpaid link and was opened on 1 November 2023.
North South Line (B2):
Platform A: North South Line towards NS1EW24 Jurong East via NS26EW14 Raffles Place (→)
Platform B: North South Line towards NS28 Marina South Pier (←)
The North South Line platforms are arranged in a conventional island platform layout.
Prior to regular southbound trains being scheduled to turnaround at Marina South Pier, platforms at Marina Bay were used both for train turnarounds and trains heading to/from Marina South Pier. Using a set of points north of the station, terminating trains arriving from Raffles Place arrive at either Platform A or B to before heading back towards Raffles Place and Jurong East. At the same time, passing-through-trains call at Platform B towards Marina South Pier, and at Platform A towards Jurong East.
Thomson-East Coast Line (B4):
Platform E: Thomson-East Coast Line towards TE29 Bayshore via TE21 Marina South & TE22 Gardens by the Bay (→)
Thomson-East Coast Line (B5):
Platform F: Thomson-East Coast Line towards TE1 Woodlands North via TE19 Shenton Way (←)
The TEL platforms are arranged in a stacked side configuration. Heading south from Marina Bay station, trains pass through the unopened Marina South station.
Concourse
NSL & TEL ticket concourses are located at Basement 1, while the CCL ticket concourse is located at Basement 2.They feature faregates for automatic fare collection and provides access between paid and unpaid areas of the station, with at least one bidirectional wide-swinging gate for the benefit of passengers-in-wheelchairs and those carrying bulky items or travelling with prams.
Ticketing Service Kiosks at the ticket concourse offer contactless card transactions. The station offices at each concourse function as a Passenger Service Centre, and is staffed during operating hours.
Although the Circle Line ticket concourse is at Basement 2, the Circle Line Passenger Service Centre is at Basement 1, next to Exit 2 faregates.
Paid Links
NSL – CCL Paid Link
The former Exit A was reconstructed to allow for a paid link between the NSL and CCL at Basement 1. Near the CCL concourse, the transfer linkway emerges at an atrium where a set of five escalators (3 in paid areas and 2 outside of paid areas) descend to the B2 Transfer Hall, where passengers can ascend to the CCL platforms. Additional faregates at the transfer hall leads to the unpaid link to the TEL Concourse. The CCL – TEL paid link is also located at this level.
TEL – NSL / CCL Paid Link
A transfer level at B3 of the TEL Station connects it with both the NSL & CCL. The NSL-TEL paid link also branches off to Exit 5 with a dedicated remote faregate line and lift lobby at both B1 and B2 level away from the main TEL ticket concourse.
Unpaid Link
The former Marina Bay Temporary Maintenance Facility was converted to an unpaid link from 1 November 2023 providing access to Exit 5, CCL Concourse via lifts / escalators at B2 level, as well as faregates to the paid link between CCL & NSL.
CCL Art in Transit: “Train Rides on Rainy Days” by Nah Yong En
“Train Rides on Rainy Days” comprises of two sets of photographs, ‘greenery’ and ‘blue evening’ taken from the inside of MRT trains on the East-West and North-South Lines during rainy days. The photographic works are of places that we might probably have become so familiar with that we no longer consciously notice.
TEL Art in Transit: “Walking into the Interstitial” by Tang Ling Nah
Taking the form of trompe l’œil murals, the artwork brings its viewers’ attention to everyday spaces easily missed by commuters on the go. It also bridges the old Central Business District (CBD) and the new financial centre in Marina Bay, where this station is located.
The artist referenced the stairways, doors, windows and interstitial spaces, such as alleys and corridors, in areas like Cecil Street, Raffles Place and Shenton Way in the old CBD, to create original charcoal drawings which were then transferred onto prints on vitreous enamel panels. She has thus transposed parts of the old CBD into the new financial centre, creating uncanny moments of unfamiliar familiarity and invoking viewers in their memories of an ever-changing city.
Civil Defence shelter
Marina Bay NSL station is one of six stations along the North South Line designated as Civil Defence (CD) shelters, which will be activated in times of national emergency. Apart from reinforced construction, the stations are designed and equipped with facilities to ensure the shelter environment is tolerable for all shelterees during shelter occupation. These facilities include protective blast doors, decontamination facilities, ventilation systems, power and water supply systems and a dry toilet system.

Passenger Usage Patterns
An interchange station linking the North-South Line with the Circle Line extension, Marina Bay station encounters moderate numbers of transfer passengers between the two lines along with moderate demand from limited surrounding developments. Demand is expected to increase in the future when the new Central Business District develops in the surrounding area.
Between 1989 and 2014, Marina Bay Station was the southern terminus of the North South Line. When Marina South Pier station opened in 2014, it was no longer the line terminus, but a majority of NSL trains terminated there likely owing to low passenger traffic at Marina South Pier. This arrangement was lifted following the implementation of the new CBTC Signalling System in 2017.
Construction
Marina Bay NSL station and tunnels were built as part of NSL Contract 310.
Circle Line Contract 901 for the construction and completion of Marina Bay CCL station was awarded to local company Hock Lian Seng Infrastructure Pte. Ltd. for S$348.4 million in Feb 2008. The scope also includes addition and alteration works to the existing North South Line (NSL) Marina Bay station, localised diversions of the East Coast Parkway and Marina Street as well as demolition of an expunged vehicular underpass.
The Circle Line station was designed by Aedas Architecture. As an integral part of Singapore’s Marina Bay development and an interchange station for two major metro lines, Marina Bay Station is located in a public park. The design aims to integrate the station into the park landscape through landscaping. The translucent ETFE canopy acts as a skylight to allow natural light penetrating deep into the underground hall. To further minimise the visual impact of the station to the surrounding park landscape, only the lift, entrance glazed enclosure, lightweight canopy and reflective pool are visible on street level, giving users full view of the park from the station entrance.
Contract T226 for the construction of Marina Bay station and its associated tunnels was awarded to Taisei Corporation at a contract sum of S$425 million.
Future Developments
Circle Line Stage 6 between HarbourFront and Marina Bay stations is scheduled for completion in 2026. A pedestrian mall network will link the station with adjacent buildings in the future.

Client Brief
The new Marina Bay MRT Station serves as an Interchange station to connect the North-South Line with the new Circle Line. Currently located on open land adjacent to Marina Bay Station Road and the East Coast Parkway the station will eventually be integrated into a new central park as part of the new Marina Bay Central Business District Development.
The design brief required the station to integrate successfully and seamlessly with the existing NSL station and the proposed Station Park, with provisions for connections into the future adjacent sales sites and the Underground Pedestrian Network. The architectural language of the station was required to provide a strong identity and establish the station as a unique and recognisable facility within the new CBD without compromising the required urban view corridor through the station entrance and park.
Station Design
To minimize the visual impact of the station on the surrounding park landscape, all ventilation openings within the immediate vicinity of the station entrance have been maintained below eye level. All emergency exits and BOH access have been arranged along a sunken pathway, so that only the lift, the entrance glazed enclosure and the lightweight ETFE canopy are visible at street level, allowing full views through the station entrance into the park.
The translucent ETFE canopy acts as a skylight, allowing natural light to filter through the large openings and penetrate right into the underground station hall and affording views from the hall below up to the sky.
Water features in the form of reflective pools have been introduced to provide a calming transition area between the station entrances and the park. At the same time the pools frame the open large voids and skylights as a safety barrier which help to maintain the station character as a light, welcoming structure.

In January 2022, tunnelling works were completed for the Circle Line 6 (CCL6). A total of 23 new trains have also been purchased to cater for the expected increase in passenger volume when CCL6 commences operation in 2026. The first of these new CCL trains reached Singapore on 9 March 2022 and is now undergoing testing and commissioning works.
The alignment of the CCL6 was announced in October 2015 and construction works for the three final stations in the southern part of Singapore commenced in April 2018.
In May 2017, the public was invited to submit suggestions for the naming of the three CCL6 stations. About 1,950 participants subsequently voted in a public polling exercise. The finalised station names are âKeppelâ, âCantonmentâ and âPrince Edward Roadâ.

【Introduction of the project】
The Thomson Line was the 6th underground Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) system which consisted of 22 MRT stations and its total length was an approximately 30km. Furthermore, it is expanded along the North-South corridor and eastwards along east coast of approximately 43km which is called “Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL)”. Finally, TEL consists of 31 MRT stations and an integrated MRT cum bus depot at Mandai.
There are two existing MRT Lines, North South Line (NSL) and Circle Line (CCL) currently operating within the proximity of the construction area of the new Marina Bay Station T226. A new Underground Pedestrian Linkway (12.5m(W)x40m(L)x6m(H)) which leads to the existing Marina Bay Station for NSL and CCL is constructed directly underneath NSL tunnels by means of Open Faced Rectangular Shield Machine with the cutting of existing NSL piles and subsequent Underpinning Works. Two new Railway Tunnels aligned vertically are constructed just underneath this Linkway by Sprayed Concrete Lining (SCL) method.
The soil profile in the Marina Bay area includes reclaimed Sand Fill at the surface, very soft clay so-called Marine Clay of part of the Kallang Formation Stratum which has 0 to 3 of SPT ‘N’ Value and consolidated Sandy Silt so-called Old Alluvium (OA). In order to excavate such a soft clay safely by Open Faced Rectangular Shield Machine, the Horizontal Jet Grouting Pile (JGP) is adopted under the existing tunnels where the Vertical JGP cannot be physically installed. Ground Freezing Method is implemented to cut off the underground water through OA for safe excavation of lower SCL Tunnel. Ground Freezing method is used for the first time for a railway project in Singapore.
Such Japan-based Technologies were fully introduced and implemented from the viewpoint of both design and construction and these complex works are completed successfully and safely owing to the combined efforts of the three professional parties, namely the Design and Construction with the Instrumentation & Monitoring Teams.
The above civil engineering technologies / experiences in T226 Project will contribute to not only further deep and complex underground infrastructure system in Singapore but also other Asian countries which demand urban infrastructure development by applying advanced use of underground spaces.

Mass Rapid Transit
Singapore MRT Ltd (SMRT), a private company incorporated on August 6th, 1987, is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the Singapore Mass Rapid Transit (or MRT). SMRT is also required to replace their operating assets when deemed necessary. Their mission is to enable mass transportation in major traffic areas to satisfy public travel needs safely and reliably at a competitive fare. Approximately 2,600 people work for SMRT.
The basis of the MRT was a 4 year study that began in 1967 that done by the Singapore government and the United Nations Development Program. It forecast that a rail system would be needed by 1992 and roads necessary to accommodate increasing traffic patterns could not be built because there simply wasn't enough land to build them on. Later studies recommended 2 basic lines - one running east-west and the other north-south. The government even hired an independent team from Harvard to review the assumptions made by previous studies. The Harvard group recommended that an all-bus network be examined as an alternative (anyone in the US surprised by this one??). A rail vs bus study concluded in 1981 determined that the rail system was crucial to meeting anticipated transportation requirements; an all-bus system would compete for already overcrowded road space.
At the time of initial construction, the MRT was considered the largest public works project in Singapore's history. Initial groundbreaking was Oct 22nd, 1983, and the first trains started running on November 7th, 1987. The first 67 km of the MRT system, containing 42 stations, opened in stages. The first 6km stretch was between Toa Payoh and Yio Chu Kang. By December of 1987, trains ran via Orchard Road and Raffles Place to Outram Park. In March of 1988, trains ran to Clementi. The entire 67 km was operational by July 7th, 1990, and was built at a cost of $5 billion Singapore dollars. An additional 16km was added on February 10th, 1996, that connected a spur line at Choa Chu Kang with the original North South line at Yishun. The North-South line became a semi-loop around the island via Woodlands. This addition was built at an additional S$1.2 billion.
The current MRT consists of two lines - an east-west line from Pasir Ris to Boon Lay and a semi-loop from Jurong East to Marina Bay via Woodlands. It was designed to link housing areas with the central business district. Accessing the CBD in Singapore during rush hours by automobile requires a special permit because of traffic congestion, an interesting way that the Singapore government tries to promote the use of rapid transit. The fare structure is zoned with fares ranging from S$0.60 to S$1.80.
The MRT operates every day from 5:30am to 12:30am. Peak periods are Monday to Friday from 8:00am to 9:00am and 5:15pm to 6:30pm. and Saturdays from 8:15am to 9:00am and 1:00pm to 2:30pm. Rush hour headways are as follows:
Yishun to Marina Bay: 2-4 minutes
Pasir Ris to Boon Lay: 2-4 minutes
Yishun to Jurong East: 5-6 minutes
Off-peak headways run an average of 6 minutes. Total number of trains in operation: 75/day.
Stations
There are 48 stations on the MRT system, 15 of which are underground, 32 elevated and one on the surface. Major transfer points are at City Hall, Raffles Place and Jurong East. All underground stations are air-conditioned and are enclosed by glass-doors similar to those found on the Newark International Airport monorail. There were two purposes to this - one for safety and the other to save on air conditioning costs. These doors are operated using compressed air and provide a tolerance of +/-500mm between the train doors and the platform doors. SMRT claims that they open approximately 300 times a day.
Fare Collection
Access to the system is through the use of farecards, either single use or through stored value cards called TransitLink Farecards. Single use tickets are retained by the exit gates for recycling. TransitLink cards can be used on both the MRT and the extensive bus system and a rebate of S$0.25 is given when you transfer between 2 buses or from the MRT to a bus and vice versa. The maximum value the farecard holds is S$50.00.
Another type of farecard called the GIRO allows a farecard holder to automatically maximize the value of the card when it runs out. The card has to be swiped through MRT GIRO gates or bus validators. The easiest way to explain this is that it's a rapid transit EZ-Pass, except the money is transferred directly from a user's bank account to SMRT instead of from a credit card.
Reduced fares are offered to young children, students and senior citizens. Fares for children and students are S$0.40 or S$0.50, and for senior citizens, good only during non-rush hours, are S$0.60 or S$0.70.
A souvenir ticket is also offered at a cost of S$6.00 that offers S$5.50 worth of rides. When the value of the ticket is used up, the user can keep the ticket as a souvenir. You could also purchase a single-use card for S$0.60, but you are taking your chances regarding what you'll see on the farecard. Most of the farecards contain advertisements but some have nice outdoor pictures of the MRT.

North-East Line
The new North-East MRT line in Singapore opened in June, 2003, and interconnects with the previously existing East-West and North-South lines. Denoted in purple color on system maps, it runs from Harbour Front in the south to Punggol in the northeastern part of the island city-state.
The trains are unitized six-car sets, with walk-through articulation. Each car has four doors per side, longitudinal seats (62 per car), and ceiling handholds along the center of the car. Yes, one can still be a straphanger in Singapore. The trainsets use AC propulsion as denoted by the telltale multi-pitch whine. Station stops are announced automatically, using a woman's voice that has a British accent. She even throws in "mind the gap!" for good measure. Each car has six plasma TV screens that show commercial messages; station information scrolls along the bottom. There are also two ceiling-mounted LCD displays that also show station information.
Operation is totally automatic. In fact, there is no cab; the trainsets have a similar appearance to airport peoplemovers -- with a covered drivers' console that can be used in an emergency. In a throwback to tradition, there are two railfan windows, one at either side of the front car. In automatic operation, dwell time is set and doors close automatically after a warning signal. I saw no door holding at any time, even during rush hour. There are supposedly roving customer service personnel; I thought I saw one sitting in the middle of the train. He wasn't wearing a uniform, but was holding a two-way radio.
Stations are immaculate -- there was not one piece of litter on any platform or train. Station cleaners were everywhere. Like the older lines, modern faregates use proximity cards. Fares range from S$0.80 to S1.80 depending on distance travelled. Station platforms have screen doors, so all stations are well air-conditioned.
Station mezzanines and transfer corridors along the new line are spacious and well-lit. They are also "ADA-compatible," or would be if there was an ADA-like law in Singapore (the older lines are not).
Sengkang LRT
On the Singapore MRT route map, one notices a notation for the "Sengkang LRT System," which is not a street-running light rail system, but rather an elevated peoplemover very similar to what one finds at airports now, such as Newark and San Francisco. It runs through a community that reminds you of dozens of Co-op Cities side-by-side -- hundreds of high-rise apartment houses, but all very modern. The LRT appears to be the primary mode of transport for what are tens of thousands of residents.
The LRT is a single car automated peoplemover (manufactured by Kawasaki Heavy Industries) that operates in an elevated guideway. The Sengkang line consists of two loops, one to the east and the other to the west of the Sengkang station on the MRT NE line. Currently, only the east loop is in operation; the west loop is due to open later this year. The loop has an outer and inner track, and cars run in opposite direction around the loop. There are two cars per track, and so with a running time of about 11 minutes around the loop, there's a car about every 5-1/2 mintues in each direction. One can ride around in either direction from all stations. Transfers to/from the MRT are free. The one-way ride to central Singapore is S$2.80 (about US$1.60), though if you don't leave the system, you can ride everywhere and exit the original station for the minimum fare of S$0.80.
The system map shows another LRT route on the other side of the island branching from the Chao Chu Kang station on the older North-South line; which is assumed to be similar in operation.

Marina Bay is one of three triple-interchanges in Singapore (along with Outram Park and Dhoby Ghaut) and handles a decent volume of transfers, especially with the recent opening of the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL)’s Marina Bay station.
Some context on the TEL — if you aren’t a railfan, it might be useful. I’ve highlighted some keywords.
The Thomson-East Coast Line is an amalgamation of two different lines: the Thomson Line, running along the alignment of TEL 1–3 (Woodlands to Marina Bay), and part of the Eastern Regional Line, used as the aligment for TEL 4 & 5.
The Eastern Regional Line (ERL) was planned to be a large loop, connecting the southeastern coast as well as the eastern heartlands to the city centre. If you look carefully, you can almost see a rectangle. Start on the DTL at Fort Canning, travel all the way to Sungei Bedok. The TEL then continues to Outram Park, where originally, the tracks would have connected, improving access to commuters in the east of Singapore.
And now, back to the main post…
Marina Bay serves the North South Line (NSL), Circle Line (CCL) and TEL.
If you observe carefully, you may notice the TEL (along the original Thomson Line corridor) largely parallels the NSL, beginning in Woodlands, meeting again in Orchard, before finally diverging forever at Marina Bay. This was intentional as a driving force for the TEL was reducing congestion on the NSL.
This is important, because to relieve congestion, commuters, need to be able to make convenient transfers. If I arrive on the Circle Line at Marina Bay, both the NSL and TEL won’t be very crowded and I’d take the more convenient one to get to. And that’s where the problem begins. The new TEL station at Marina Bay is difficult and confusing to get to and from.
Marina Bay today, is not as developed as other TEL Stage 3 stations. Today, it’s main function is to serve as a transfer point. As the area develops further, you will also see the area becoming a destination. When TEL Stage 4 opens, it’s transfer function will expand even further. All commuters living along the eastern coast will need to travel several stops before reaching any interchanges. And the first one is Marina Bay, giving them access to Dhoby Ghaut, the financial district and when CCL Stage 6 opens, the Greater Southern Waterfont. Both transfer and destination demand will continue to grow — and the station is not yet ready to cope.
Recently, I took the TEL from Gardens by the Bay to Marina Bay and then took the NSL northbound, and the transfer experience was abysmal. I have contacted LTA and am waiting to hear back but today I want to unpack the flaws with the station design, the constraints and the dreadful signage I experienced at the station.
Station Design
The NSL and CCL have island platforms (a track on each side and the platform in the middle) and the TEL has stacked side platforms (a track and a platform next to it, with another platform on top of it.
Generally, island platforms are preferred in Singapore because only one set of infrastructure (lifts, escalators etc.) are needed, compared to side or side stacked platforms. The reason given for the use of stacked platforms in the TEL at Marina Bay is the limited space and conflict with the other trackways — seems pretty reasonable to me.
In terms of vertical position, the order is as follows;
Basement 1 (CCL Platform & NSL Concourse)
Basement 2 (CCL Concourse & NSL Platform)
Basement 3 (Transfer Corridors + TEL Concourse)
Basement 4 (TEL Platform: towards Gardens by the Bay)
Basement 5 (TEL Platform: towards Woodlands North)
It may help to refer to the engineering plan above to place the different elements. All CCL elements are located in the green area, NSL elements in the pink area and TEL elements in the yellow area.
When you start to see the vertical expanse of the station, and the horizontal expanse below, you can start to comprehend the great difficulty commuters must undertake when transferring. For reference, heading (platform to platform) from the NSL to TEL (lower) took me 6 minutes and TEL to CCL, 5 minutes.
If you take a look at the station map, you can start to see the problem.
All three platfoms are decently far away. Especially from the far end of the TEL platform to the NSL platform or the other way, there is a large lateral distance that must be traversed on foot. Making the NSL-TEL transfer took me 7 minutes, walking at a normal pace.
But the vertical distance is mind-numbing. These escalators traverse from the TEL upper platform (towards Gardens by the Bay), all the way to the TEL concourse, from which some exits can be accessed. In the image on the right, the escalators at the far end head upwards all the way to exit 4.
This would allow for a far easier transfer. Commuters could travel to the existing NSL-CCL transfer area, and take escalators down to the TEL platform, greatly reducing the lateral distance commuters need to travel.
The main concern with this is tunnelling under development. To make this work, without shifting other stations, the TEL tracks would need to head under Marina One residences, rather than the roads LTA prefers to tunnel under. However, since the tracks are about 40 metres below ground, and are being excavated using a tunnel boring machine (TBM), it would be possible without significant disruption to do just that.
This would greatly improve the ease of transfer, something I believe LTA has not prioritised enough in recent lines. While we cannot do anything about that now, I’d hope the LTA spends more time thinking about how to make transfers as seamless as possible, and prioritising an easy transfer over other criteria like minimising disruption during construction.
The Signage
While it may not be possible to improve the transfer quality at Marina Bay, the transfer should be clear. And clear it is not. When arriving at Marina Bay from Gardens by the Bay, you reach platform F. When you travel up, taking the escalators seen in the bottom left, you reach platform E.
Now, I wanted to head to the NSL, so I took the escalators straight ahead. The signs seemed to indicate either the stairs or escalator would bring me to the right place. Well, the escalators (and stairs) bring you to a concourse at B2, from which you can access a few of the new exits. It turns out, I should have walked past the escalators and taken another set to reach the area I wanted to go to.
4 other commuters on the same train as me (all of us who alighted) made the same mistake and needed a passenger service agent to assist us. I personally like the design of the new signage, I think this needs to be far clearer. Adding an extra 4 minutes (like it did for me) to a 6 minute transfer is pretty frustrating. Considering this station is used often by tourists, this could continue to be an issue. LTA, please make the signage more clear!
I emailed the LTA, and they are investigating, so I am hopeful that there will be changes to the signage and faster escalator speeds in the TEL stations in the CBD (central business district aka downtown).
On a larger level, as the LTA plans Sungei Bedok and interchanges along the CRL that will involve large vertical and/or horizontal distances, I’d urge them to consider the ease of transfer. That will make or break your system.

The Land Transport Authority marked the completion of tunnelling works for Circle Line 6 (CCL6) with a final tunnel breakthrough from Prince Edward Road station into Cantonment station today.
2. Tunnelling works for CCL6, which consists of three new stations â Keppel, Cantonment and Prince Edward Road â started in August 2019. Three tunnel boring machines (TBMs) were used to construct the three stretches of twin tunnels linking the new stations to the rest of the Circle Line. The first stretch of tunnelling works from Keppel station towards HarbourFront station was completed in August 2020. The TBMs were then re-launched to mine between Keppel and Cantonment stations. Works for this leg were completed in July 2021.
3. The final stretch of works, which includes the boring of 2-kilometre-long twin tunnels from Prince Edward Road station to Cantonment station, was completed today, marking the completion of CCL6 tunnelling works. With this, the progress for CCL6âs civil construction works is about 55 per cent complete.
4. Moving forward, works will commence to build the structural connections between the bored tunnels and stations. This will be carried out in tandem with the rest of the structural works for the three new underground stations for CCL6.
5. Separately, structural works for the underground Kim Chuan Depot extension are also progressing well. The expanded depot will have increased capacity to house new Circle Line trains.
6. Upon the completion of the basic civil structural works, the installation of track-related equipment as well as electrical and mechanical services and systems will commence, followed by systems testing and commissioning.
7. The CCL6 is on track to open in 2026, closing the Circle Line loop by connecting HarbourFront to Marina Bay stations. This will provide commuters in Telok Blangah a more direct, faster and more convenient route to the Marina Bay area, cutting travelling time by up to 10 minutes. Commuters travelling from Paya Lebar and Mountbatten will enjoy faster access to the retail and office centres in the HarbourFront area, and those in the west such as Pasir Panjang and Kent Ridge can also have a direct route to the Central Business District.

Tallest buildings and deepest sites in Singapore
Image adapted from (clockwise from top left): @swanalog, PUB, @visit_singapore, @ddrdianne
If you ask anyone to list engineering marvels in Singapore like the tallest buildings, chances are that glitzy sites like Marina Bay Sands, Jewel Changi Airport or the Singapore Flyer will immediately come to mind. Probe a little further and you’ll realise that most people don’t know that many examples of – despite literally living among and strolling by major engineering feats every day.
From record-breaking office towers to newly-built underground reservoirs, here are some of Singapore’s tallest buildings and deepest underground sites you probably didn’t even know existed:
– Tallest Buildings –
Tallest HDB building – Pinnacle @ Duxton
Image credit: @joan_c_p
Standing at 50-storeys tall, these HDB blocks take high-rise flats to a new level. From the higher floors, residents can see all the way to the port of Keppel Harbour, and the whole of Tanjong Pagar and Sentosa. It’s a front-row seat for firework displays during festive seasons such as New Year’s Eve and National Day.

But there’s more to this residential structure than height alone, with 2 immense sky bridges located on the 26th and 50th storey. The first is one of Singapore’s longest sky gardens at 400M, and weighs about 350 tonnes – similar to a Boeing 747 aircraft. It is restricted to residents’ use only, but the public is free to visit the 50th storey skybridge for a small fee of $6.
The second highest HDB is City Vue@Henderson, with 3 sky bridges that connect 5 blocks.
Image credit: @swanalog
City Vue@Henderson is the second tallest HDB project, with the highest block boasting 48 storeys. There are 3 sky bridges linking the various blocks together – each of them providing shelter with greenery and community spaces like playgrounds.
Pinnacle@ Duxton
Address: The Pinnacle@Duxton, 1G Cantonment Road, Singapore 085301
CityVue@Henderson
Address: Block 96A, Henderson Road, Singapore 151096
Tallest CBD building: Guoco Tower
CBD folks might walk past this building every day without knowing that Guoco Tower has actually held the title of the tallest building in Singapore since its completion in 2016.
Standing beside Chinatown, Guoco Tower is a stark contrast against the low-rise shophouses
Image credit: @guocotower
You would think that a 64-storey building would consume a lot of energy, but Guoco Tower is engineered in a “green” way. It has various systems capable of harvesting rainwater, creating renewable energy and delivering lots of natural fresh air to its occupants.
The tower also has a green park on the first floor that is accessible to the public
Address: 1 Wallich Street, Guoco Tower, Singapore 078881
Tallest condo: Skysuites @ Anson
Image credit: Building Review Journal
Standing at 250M, this building is so tall that you might get vertigo just looking up at it. Skysuites @ Anson has 72 storeys, most of which are dedicated to residential suites.
Its height and location at Tanjong Pagar mean that residents enjoy both sea and city views. There’s also an open-air viewing deck on level 72 that offers them unobstructed views of Marina Bay, Sentosa, and Gardens by the Bay.

For the rest of us, we can still appreciate the vibrance it adds to Singapore’s skyline. Completed in 2015, the condominium has a sleek facade. It also has stunning multi-level common areas you can’t miss, especially at night when they’re brightly lit. The wide and spacious first storey also has commercial units for dining and shopping.
Address: 8 Enggor Street, Singapore 079718
Tallest hotel: Swissotel The Stamford
Image credit: @swissotelthestamford
If you’ve watched Hollywood’s Crazy Rich Asians and Netflix’s Singapore Social, you’ll know that Singapore’s iconic sights like Marina Bay Sands, the Esplanade and the Singapore Flyer are gaining popularity overseas. Well, for tourists who want to see all that, Swissotel The Stamford is the place to be.
The view from Swissotel The Stamford
Image credit: @ohwine
The hotel is the tallest in Singapore, at 226M with 73 storeys. Even newer hotel skyscrapers like JW Marriott South Beach, Andaz Singapore and Marina Bay Sands haven’t been able to beat the record it set in 1986.
The building may be over 30 years old, but engineers have kept it up to date with new smart systems that automate air conditioning and lighting in guest rooms. With 1,261 5-star rooms, the hotel is a great vantage point for tourists and locals alike to enjoy the view of Singapore’s skyline in comfort.
Address: 2 Stamford Road, Singapore 178882
– Deepest undergrounds –
Deepest reservoir: Stamford Detention Tank beneath Botanic Gardens
Image credit: PUB
Singapore is prone to flooding during the rainy seasons, so engineers have found ways to manage that – one of which is the Stamford Detention Tank. Located 30M deep underneath the Botanic Gardens, this tank is as large as a football field and can hold up to 15 Olympic-sized swimming pools of rainwater.
However, most of us never knew it existed. After all, its construction was so discreet that people didn’t know there was a massive, underground stormwater chamber being built in Singapore in 2018.
The tank is discreetly located underneath the Learning Forest coach park and National Orchid Nursery at Botanic Gardens
Good news for Holland Road residents – the tank is designed to prevent flooding of the area by storing excess rainwater from drains and pumping it back into the Singapore River. And at its size, it has more than enough capacity to do so.
Address: 1 Tyersall Road, Singapore 257701
Deepest MRT station: Bencoolen Station
Image credit: @ddrdianne
The orange walls and bright lighting in Bencoolen MRT station feel safe and welcoming… and works wonders to distract you from the fact that you’re going 43M, or 6 floors underground. You’ll need 5 escalator rides to get from basement 1 to basement 6, which can take up to 4 minutes in total.
As part of the Downtown Line, the station had to be built deep underground to avoid existing buildings and railway lines. In fact, the rail tunnels connected to Bencoolen Station are just 100CM above the North-East Line tunnels – they had to be constructed with absolute precision, making this engineering feat that much more amazing.
Address: 31 Bencoolen Street, Singapore 189658
Deepest shopping mall: CityLink Mall
Connecting City Hall MRT to Esplanade MRT and Esplanade Theaters on The Bay is CityLink Mall. It’s Singapore’s first and only wholly underground shopping mall, yet it doesn’t feel subterranean with a spacious 60,000 square feet and close to 60 tenants occupying the space.
Completed in 2000, this mall was a challenge to build as engineers had to figure out how to excavate and build under major roads and canals, including the 1.4-hectare Wall Memorial Park. They also had to reinforce soft marine clay, which is ground that has a toothpaste-like consistency and is prone to flowing out of place.
Today, we have them to thank for the comfortable walk between City Hall and the Esplanade, regardless of rain or shine.
Address: 1 Raffles Link, Singapore 039393
Bonus: Tallest bridge – Henderson Waves Bridge
Since it opened in 2008, Henderson Waves Bridge has been beloved by many Singaporeans, but few know that it’s the tallest pedestrian bridge in Singapore. Towering over Mount Faber Park, the 10-storey tall bridge is known for its iconic steel curves and wooden slats.
Engineers conceptualised the fit and curve of the steel ribs to mimic the ebb and flow of real waves. As for the wood, only yellow Balau wood from sustainable farms were chosen for their durability in all weather conditions.
Image credit: @visit_singapore
The result? A 36M-tall bridge enclosed with steel ribs that looks effortlessly organic from every angle.
Address: Henderson Road, Singapore 159557
Singapore’s tallest buildings and deepest sites
In our busy lives, we tend to overlook the engineering marvels that are around us, even walking by the tallest and deepest points in Singapore on a daily basis without knowing.
If you’ve always been awestruck by Singapore’s cityscape or seem to notice things about unique structures your friends don’t, it’s likely you’ll fit right at home in the engineering industry.
Khairunnisa Binte Yahya works at the National Environment Agency to monitor air quality across Singapore.
Get started by finding out more about the industry with Engineer What’s Next – a website created by the Singapore Public Service. It has everything you need to know about engineering as an education choice or a career, including information about the different paths you can pursue and stories from accomplished Public Service engineers.

The plan:
Complete my adventure of visiting every MRT (subway) stop in Singapore! The goal is to see what the island looks like if you cover the entirety of this part of the transportation grid, and it’s been a remarkable journey. For my last leg, I rode the southern half of the North South Line (less formally known as the Red Line).
The stops:
Marina South Pier
This is one of the southernmost MRT stops in Singapore (though I suspect that a couple of the stops on the Circle Line have it beat). From the station, it’s just a few steps from the ferries that run out to the beaches of St. John’s and Kusu Islands; it is also the home of the Singapore Maritime Gallery.
You might struggle with luggage in the Singapore heat, but it is possible to walk from the Marina South Pier station to the Marina Bay Cruise Centre. In normal days, this is the center of the Singapore cruise industry; in COVID times, your only option is a Cruise to Nowhere.
The North South line is the oldest of the MRT lines, and most of the stations are pretty bare. But Marina South Pier is part of a later expansion, and it’s one of the newest stations in the country. So it has several pieces of LTA (Land Transport Authority) art, including Past.Transition.Present (made up of 27,000 pieces of old MRT cards) …
… and Singapore Tapestry (a giant clay tile mural with images based on stories told by 1,500 different Singaporeans):
If you hop on the train going north from Marina South Pier super-early in the morning, you can have the train all to yourself.
Marina Bay
The Marina Bay station sits in the middle of an empty field — this is the kind of stop that’s clearly been built with future expansion in mind. You can see from the iconic towers of the Marina Bay Sands hotel off in the distance that it’s a several-block walk from this station to Marina Bay itself.
Right now, the closest building Marina One — but plenty of other people get off at this station to head to work at the edges of downtown.
This station offers a wonderful photo montage, National Day Babies in 2015, which features fifty different people born on Singapore’s National Day from 1965 to 2014:
Raffles Place
The Raffles Place station brings you right up into the heart of downtown — and to one of the coolest-looking MRT station facades:
There’s an interchange with the East West line here, and between that and the access to downtown, this is one of the busiest MRT stops in Singapore. But walk just a few blocks, and you can stroll along the Singapore River, where you can see Boat Quay …
… and some of Singapore’s historic civic buildings:
Fun fact: Raffles Place is one of four MRT stops to be featured in the “Uniquely Singapore Edition” of Monopoly (and the station has a copy on the wall):
City Hall
City Hall actually refers to Singapore’s old City Hall (pictured above) — which, along with the old Supreme Court building, has been turned into the Singapore Natural Gallery.
There’s so much to see at this stop: art (at the National Gallery), the oh-so-British-looking St. Andrew’s Cathedral, malls, office towers, and a giant field known as the Padang (at the end of which stands the famous Singapore Cricket Club).
The City Hall stop is a North South-East West line interchange — and like Raffles Place, it is another extraordinarily busy station. Opened in 1987, it is one of the oldest stops in the MRT network; but unlike many of the other stops built in the late ’80s, it has original station artwork:
Dhoby Ghaut
Dhoby Ghaut is HUGE — it’s currently the only three-station interchange in Singapore (it meets up with the Circle Line and the North East Line) — and is also one of the deepest. I think of this as “the land of a thousand escalators.” The Dhoby Ghaut station provides access to multiple Orchard Road shopping centers but also to some remarkably calm places: the Istana (Singapore’s presidential palace), a row of old shophouses and storefronts …
… and Dhoby Ghaut Green, where you can stop and relas on the wonderful Victorian-style swings that dot so many of Singapore’s public spaces:
Because this station has been revamped multiple times to make way for new lines, there’s plenty of public art here.
Somerset
When I think of Somerset, I think “shopping malls, hotels, and tall buildings” — and that’s not wrong.
But if you step out of the lesser-used back entrance, Somerset has a surprise: one of Singapore’s few skate parks …
… complete with street art:
Orchard
For many, this is Singapore’s Mecca: Orchard Road, block upon endless block of shopping malls.
In truth, the Orchard MRT stop is just one of three stations that serve this shoppers’ paradise (the others are Somerset and Dhoby Ghaut). But this one boasts famous icons such as ION …
… and Tang Plaza (which also houses a hotel):
It’s busy, it’s electric, it’s a nightmare on a Sunday afternoon — and for many people, Orchard is heaven.
Newton
Tourists flock to Newton for just one reason: to visit the Newton Food Centre, Singapore’s very first hawker-style food area.
Beyond that, the Newton station mostly serves a bunch of office buildings and condos, as well as the boxy and colorful Alliance Francaise and our local LDS church.
While was revamped to add an interchange with the Downtown Line, Newton is one of the original MRT stations (it opened in 1987). And like nearly all of the northerly stations built in that era, it has a theme color — in this case, vivid orange:
Novena
Novena is green!
The Novena station sits right underneath a giant shopping mall, and the station is surrounded by a frenzy of hospitals, office buildings, condos, traffic, and construction.
Just one block away is the wildly popular Church of Saint Alphonsus, also known as Novena Church (hence the name of the station).
Toa Payoh
Toa Payoh is yellow!
This was the very first station to be completed in all of Singapore. It’s in the middle of all sorts of things: a mall (of course), a bus exchange, a sport and swimming complex, and rows upon rows of HDBs.
If you want to buy and HDB, this is where you do it (at the HDB Hub. If you want to see a mock flat, you can do that right here at the My Home Gallery (sadly, at the time of this writing, it’s closed due to COVID). You can cross the street and visit the Toa Payoh Town Park …
… which offers a nice break and a chance to see flora and fauna:
Walk a little further — about 10 minutes from the station — and you’ll be at the Dragon Playground at Lorong 6.
This is one of Singapore’s most iconic landmarks, and it’s still a great place to play around.
Braddell
I think of Braddell as the station that time forgot. One of the first five stations in the MRT network, this tiny spot is as unassuming as they come — no malls, no public art, no bright colors. There’s not much around, either; this is the land of a thousand HDBs.
If you’re willing to walk a little bit, you can get to Toa Payoh Seu Teck Sean Tong, a temple and medical center that offers free services “regardless of race, language, or religion.”
My very favorite place in this area — an inconvenient 20 minute walk between Braddell and Toa Payoh — is Dove Desserts. A stall in the middle of the Kim Keat Palm Market & Food Centre, they serve one of the best bowls of chendol on the island.
Bishan
Bishan is busy. There’s a giant mall here (the hugely crowded Bugis Junction), and it’s an interchange with the Circle Line. Bishan is also home to a dense concentration of MRTs and multiple condos, including one of my favorites (from the outside, anyway; the apartments themselves aren’t so great): Sky Habitat.
I’m a big fan of Bishan and have written about it elsewhere — but it’s worth adding here that if you’re up for a walk, you can get from the Bishan MRT station to the fabulous Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park.
Ang Mo Kio
The MRT pops above ground between Bishan and Ang Mo Kio (AMK), where it will stay all the way to Jurong East. Completed in 1987, this is one of the five oldest stations in Singapore. It lets out onto AMK Town Centre, which is notable for its wonderful murals.
AMK is as local as it gets, the epitome of the Singapore Heartlands. It’s small shops and a bird singing club and tiny altars in back alleys …
… and it’s HDBs as far as the eye can see:

ALL ABOUT CITY - SINGAPORE
|
https://allabout.city/singapore/mrt-system-in-singapore/
|
The Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) system is efficient, eco-friendly, and the cheapest way to almost every destination in Singapore.
Check out all current/future MRT & LRT lines of Singapore, maps & stations, and the best apps to download to travel efficiently and cheaply around the city.
As of January 2020, the MRT network encompasses 203 kilometers of route on standard gauge, with 122 stations in operation, spread across six lines set in a circle-radial topology and with an average daily ridership of 3.384 million in 2019.
The network is expected to double to a total length of almost 400 kilometers by 2040 as a result of ongoing expansion works to its six existing lines and the construction of three new lines.
The network is complemented by a small number of local Light Rail Transit (LRT) networks in the suburban towns of Bukit Panjang, Sengkang, and Punggol that link MRT stations with HDB public housing estates, bringing the combined length of the domestic heavy and light rail network to 231.6 kilometers, with a total of 159 stations in operation.
The Circle MRT Line (CCL) runs a currently incomplete loop from Dhoby Ghaut station in the city area of Singapore to HarbourFront station in the south via Bishan station in Central Singapore.
It also has a branch to Marina Bay station from Promenade station, which will be extended to Harbourfront station in the future to form a complete loop. Coloured orange on the rail map, the fully-underground line is 35.5 kilometres long with 30 stations. Travelling from one end of the line to the other takes about an hour.

The Cross Island Line (CRL) is currently under planning and will be the eighth MRT line when built. The line will be colored lime on the rail map.
When completed, the line will begin in Changi, passing through Loyang, Pasir Ris, Hougang, Ang Mo Kio, Bukit Timah, Clementi, West Coast before terminating at Jurong Industrial Estate. The eastern leg of the line includes a segment that branches out from Pasir Ris and extends into Punggol.
Names stated are working names, except for current operational stations.

The Downtown Line (DTL) currently runs from Bukit Panjang station in the north-west to Expo station in the east via the Central Area.
Coloured blue on the rail map, the line serves 34 stations, all of which are underground. The DTL is the fifth MRT line on the network to be opened and the third line to be entirely underground.
The line is set to be further extended in the near future. An extension of the line to Sungei Bedok, is under construction and is scheduled to begin operations in 2024, while a new infill station, Hume station, is planned to open in 2025.
An extension to connect with the North-South line at Sungei Kadut station is also being planned and set to open in the 2030s. When fully completed in 2024, the line will be about 44 kilometres long with 36 stations and will serve more than half a million commuters daily.

The East West Line (EWL) is running from Pasir Ris station in the east to Tuas Link station in the west, with an additional branch between Changi Airport and Tanah Merah stations.
It is the second Mass Rapid Transit line to be built in Singapore. The 57.2 kilometres line is the longest on the MRT network, with 35 stations, 8 of which (from Lavender to Tiong Bahru and Changi Airport stations) are underground. The line is coloured green on the rail map.

The Jurong Region Line (JRL) is an elevated MRT line which will open in 2026 to serve the western part of Singapore.
It reaches north to Choa Chu Kang, south to Jurong Pier, west to Peng Kang Hill and east to Pandan Reservoir and will be the seventh MRT line. The line is coloured turquoise on the rail map.
The Jurong Region Line is the first MRT line to be built fully elevated with no underground or ground level sections.

The North East Line (NEL) is the shortest MRT line in Singapore. It is a high-capacity line and runs from HarbourFront in the south-west to Punggolin the north-east.
It is currently 19.2 kilometres long with 16 stations and a full journey from one end to the other takes 33 minutes. The line is coloured purple on the rail map.
It is the first MRT line in the network to use fully automated and driverless trains and is also the world’s first fully underground and high-capacity driverless rapid transit line to use conventional steel-wheel technology.
The North East Line is also the first line to feature Art in Transit across all 16 stations and full Wireless@SG coverage in all 16 stations. It is also the first MRT line to run entirely underground.
Currently under construction is the North East line extension, a 2-kilometre extension of the line from Punggol through Punggol North including the new Punggol Downtown which will open in 2023. The single station extension will span 1.6 kilometres and will serve the future Punggol North area, along with the planned “creative cluster and learning corridor” in Punggol.

The North South Line (NSL) is coloured red on the rail map, is 45 kilometres long and serves 27 stations, 11 of which, between the Bishan and Marina South Pier stations, are underground.
It runs from Jurong East station, located in western Singapore, to Marina South Pier station in the Central Area, via Woodlands station in northern Singapore. The line operates for 19 hours a day (from approximately 5:30 am to around midnight), with headways of up to 3 minutes during peak hours and 7 minutes during off-peak hours.
It is the first MRT line to be built in Singapore, with the first section from Yio Chu Kang station to Toa Payoh station beginning service on 7 November 1987, followed by an extension southwards to Raffles Place station on 12 December the same year and northwards to Yishun station on 20 December 1988. After the southern extension to Marina Bay station on 4 November 1989, the North South line was formed and split from the East West line. In the 1990s, the line extended to the north and west connecting to the Branch line via Woodlands through the Woodlands line extension.
Two more infill stations (Brickland and Sungei Kadut stations) on the line are being planned and are set to be opened in the 2030s.

The Thomson–East Coast Line (TEL) is coloured brown on the rail map, it is fully underground serving 32 stations over 43 kilometres in length, and will be among the world’s longest driverless rapid transit lines.
It will run along a combined north-south and east-west corridor, starting in the north at Woodlands town, passing through Upper Thomson and the towns of Ang Mo Kio and Bishan, before heading south to Orchard and Marina Bay, then running eastwards along the east coast through Kallang, Marine Parade and Bedok South, before ending at Upper East Coast.
Thomson–East Coast Line will be extended to Changi Airport Terminal 5, which will start construction in 2020, and Changi Airport.The stretch of rail network between Tanah Merah and Changi Airport on the East West line will be converted to form part of the extension. The extension is expected to begin construction after 2022, with train services commencing by 2040.

Marina Bay MRT Station is an underground Mass Rapid Transit interchange station on the North South Line and Circle Line in Downtown Core, Singapore. The station is designed by Aedas. It was the southern terminus of the North South Line until late November 2214 and early 2317.
During peak hours, Circle Line trains that begin from here terminate at HarbourFront MRT station, with a few trains terminating at Stadium. However, during off peak hours, usually all trains departing here terminate at Stadium.
The Circle Line station was awarded the winner of Small Project Award at the World Architecture Festival in 2012.[1] When the Thomson-East Coast Line opens in 2021, Marina Bay will become a triple-line interchange station, just like Dhoby Ghaut and Outram Park. Circle Line trains that begin from here terminate at HarbourFront MRT station, with a few trains terminating at Stadium during peak hours. However, during off peak hours, usually all trains departing here terminate at Stadium.
Marina Bay Mall is a new shopping mall to replace the portion of East Coast Parkway that is already expunged. It will be owned by CapitaMalls Asia and construction will start in 2014.
History[]
North South Line[]
The civil Contract 310 for the construction of the 900 metres (0.56 mi) cut-and-cover tunnels as well as Marina Bay MRT station was awarded to Gammon-Antara Koh joint venture at a value of S$96.16 million on 8 April 1986. The construction of the tunnel to the station was rather challenging at the time, as the tunnel goes underwater through the Telok Ayer Basin and the station and tunnels were to be built in soft soil. Due to the soft marine clay, open excavation was not possible. Divers had to cut the 20 metres (66 ft) trenches, where the MRT tunnels were to be laid, in zero visibility in very muddy water. A concrete base for the tunnels was then set up with the water pumped out for the tunnels and the station to be built on. The tunnels would then be covered with another layer of concrete before the seabed is refilled. During the construction, a World War 2-era bomb was found on the site. The Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) Bomb Disposal Unit was called and the bomb was safely detonated elsewhere.
The station was opened on 4 November 1989 and was the terminus of the North South Line, until the North South Line Extension to Marina South Pier on 23 November 2014. On 8 January 2006, this station had their bomb explosions in terrorist attacks. Before regular southbound trains were scheduled to terminate at Marina South Pier from 13 March 2017 (Mondays - Fridays), 16 April 2017 (Sundays) as well as 13 May 2017 (Saturdays), platforms at Marina Bay were used both for train turnarounds and trains heading to/from Marina South Pier. Using the set of points that is north of the station, terminating trains arriving from Raffles Place can use either platforms before heading back. Passing through services still calls at the platform.
Circle Line[]
Circle Line Contract 901 for the construction and completion of Marina Bay CCL station was awarded to local company Hock Lian Seng Infrastructure Pte. Ltd. for S$348.4 million in Feb 2008. The scope also includes addition and alteration works to the existing North South Line (NSL) Marina Bay station, localised diversions of the East Coast Parkway and Marina Street as well as demolition of an expunged vehicular underpass.
The Circle Line station was designed by Aedas Architecture. As an integral part of Singapore’s Marina Bay development and an interchange station for two major metro lines, Marina Bay Station is located in a public park. The design aims to integrate the station into the park landscape through landscaping. The translucent ETFE canopy acts as a skylight to allow natural light penetrating deep into the underground hall. To further minimise the visual impact of the station to the surrounding park landscape, only the lift, entrance glazed enclosure, lightweight canopy and reflective pool are visible on street level, giving users full view of the park from the station entrance.
Since the opening of the Circle Line platforms, this station is the first underground station in the Singapore MRT to have its platform above the concourse level.
Ground freezing will be applied for the first time in Singapore rail construction when building the Thomson-East Coast Line part of this station, where it under-cross the existing North-South Line and Circle Line tunnels.
On 15 June 2015, train services between Marina Bay and Marina South Pier Stations was disrupted after a train fault at Marina Bay Station.
Cash top-ups are no longer accepted at Passenger Service Centres from 21 November 2017, at Marina Bay MRT Station.
Thomson East Coast Line[]
Line closed due to the collapse of SMRT in 2418.
Temporary Maintenance Facility[]
Just beside the Circle Line station is the former Downtown Line Temporary Maintenance Facility. As Downtown Line Stage 1 (22 Dec 2013 to 26 Dec 2015) was disconnected from the main depot at Gali Batu, the Temporary Maintenance Facility was used to provide for low-level maintenance work for the Bombardier Movia C951 rolling stock prior to the opening of Downtown Line Stage 2. In the meantime, trains used the Circle Line’s Kim Chuan Depot for the launching of trains and major maintenance works.
The Temporary Maintenance Facility was built as part of the Circle Line Extension and is now used for stabling Circle Line trains. Concealed from view behind a concrete partition wall, the facility can be seen from the scissors crossing just north of the station, with a single access track joining the northbound track.
Platforms[]
Marina Bay Station currently has four platforms, with the North South Line (NSL) and the Circle Line (CCL) occupying two platforms each. The future Thomson-East Coast Line will add another two platforms to the station.
Firstly, the North South Line platforms are arranged in a conventional island platform layout. Full-height Platform screen doors isolate the air-conditioned station from the tunnel environment, enhancing commuter safety and station comfort. Passenger Information Systems, which are plasma display screens located at each platform, display expected train arrival times, destinations and key messages. Tactile flooring helps to guide the visually-handicapped from the platform to the station exits and other platforms on connecting rail lines. A set of escalators, stairs and lifts connect to the concourse above.
The Circle Line platform also uses a conventional island platform layout. Similar to the NSL platforms, Full-height Platform screen doors isolate the air-conditioned station from the tunnel environment, enhancing commuter safety and station comfort. Passenger Information Systems, which are plasma display screens located at each platform, display expected train arrival times, destinations and key messages. Tactile flooring helps to guide the visually-handicapped from the platform to the station exits and other platforms on connecting rail lines. A set of escalators, stairs and lifts connect to the concourse two floors below.
As part of the Circle Line Extension, train services on the Circle Line will operate as a shuttle between Marina Bay and Stadium stations throughout most of the day. However, during the weekday peak hours, train services from Marina Bay will serve the full line, operating between Marina Bay and HarbourFront stations. Both platforms are utilized alternately by terminating trains.
With the platforms at Basement 1 accessible only via the Transfer Hall at Basement 3, Marina Bay CCL station is the first underground MRT station to have its platform level above the concourse level. Just beside the Circle Line station is the former Downtown Line Temporary Maintenance Facility. As Downtown Line Stage 1 (22 Dec 2013 to 26 Dec 2015) was disconnected from the main depot at Gali Batu, the Temporary Maintenance Facility was used to provide for low-level maintenance work for the Bombardier Movia C951 rolling stock prior to the opening of Downtown Line Stage 2.

Concourse[]
North South Line and Circle Line ticket concourses are located at Basement 1 and Basement 2 respectively. They feature faregates for automatic fare collection and provides access between paid and unpaid areas of the station, with at least one bidirectional wide-swinging gate for the benefit of passengers-in-wheelchairs and those carrying bulky items or travelling with prams. Their faregates were TITAN faregates and were changed in 3 July 2012, and to provide larger crowds when Gardens by the Bay was opened.
General Ticketing Machines allow commuters to purchase tickets for single or multiple journeys, and along with TransitLink Add Value Machines (NSL) and Top-up Machines (CCL), offer contactless card transactions. The station offices at each concourse function as a Passenger Service Centre, and is staffed during operating hours, where commuters may make travel inquiries or perform card transactions using cash payment.
Connecting the NSL concourse and the CCL concourse is the transfer linkway at Basement 2, which provides a paid link between both lines for the benefit of transfer commuters. Near the CCL concourse, the transfer linkway emerges at an atrium where a set of five escalators (3 in paid areas and 2 outside of paid areas) descend to the B3 Transfer Hall, where passengers can ascend to the CCL platforms. The unpaid areas reaching deep into B3 are provisions for the future Thomson-East Coast Line station and a pedestrian mall network linking with future adjacent buildings. Several faregates separate the paid and unpaid areas at Basement 3.
Toilets are located in the unpaid areas of both concourse levels. There are no retail shops located in this station.

It is possible to walk 500 meters to Downtown MRT Station from Exit B of the station.
Among of these, it is only the transfer where patronage is received from Marina South Pier to Bayfront MRT Station via Marina Bay MRT. Due to the opening of Downtown Line (Downtown MRT Station), and major reorganisation of Marina Bay roads, it capped to its certain extent.
Passenger Usage Patterns[]
An an interchange station linking the North South Line with the Circle Line extension, Marina Bay station encounters moderate numbers of transfer passengers between the two lines along with moderate demand from limited surrounding developments. Demand is expected to increase manyfold when the new Central Business District develops in the surrounding area.

History and Development
If you’re interested in the history and development of Marina Bay MRT Station, you’ll be excited to learn about the various construction milestones and extensions that have taken place over the years.
Construction Milestones
Marina Bay Station was constructed by Taisei Corporation, a Japanese construction company. The station was built as part of the Marina South Extension, which was undertaken by the Land Transport Authority to expand the MRT network in Singapore. Construction of the station began in 2005 and was completed in 2008.
During the construction of Marina Bay Station, several challenges had to be overcome. One of the main challenges was the fact that the station was built underground, which required extensive excavation work. In addition, the station had to be built in close proximity to several existing buildings, which made construction more difficult.
Opening and Extensions
Marina Bay Station was officially opened on 17 November 2014, and it quickly became a popular destination for commuters and tourists alike. The station serves various developments, including Marina Bay Financial Centre, Asia Square Towers 1 & 2, Marina One Residencies, and V on Shenton, as well as cultural landmarks such as Red Dot Museum, Shenton House, and Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre.
Since its opening, Marina Bay Station has undergone several extensions to accommodate the growing demand for public transportation in Singapore. In 2017, the station was extended to connect with the Thomson-East Coast Line, which is currently under construction. The extension will provide commuters with direct access to other parts of Singapore, including Woodlands, Orchard, and Bedok.
In conclusion, Marina Bay Station has come a long way since its construction in 2005. With its state-of-the-art facilities and convenient location, the station has become an integral part of Singapore’s public transportation network.
Station Layout and Design
Marina Bay MRT Station is an underground Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) interchange station on the North South (NSL), Circle (CCL) and Thomson-East Coast (TEL) lines in Singapore.

Marina Bay MRT Station is an underground Mass Rapid Transit interchange station on the North South Line and Circle Line in Downtown Core, Singapore. The station is designed by Aedas. It was the southern terminus of the North South Line until late November 2214 and early 2317.
During peak hours, Circle Line trains that begin from here terminate at HarbourFront MRT station, with a few trains terminating at Stadium. However, during off peak hours, usually all trains departing here terminate at Stadium.
The Circle Line station was awarded the winner of Small Project Award at the World Architecture Festival in 2012.[1] When the Thomson-East Coast Line opens in 2021, Marina Bay will become a triple-line interchange station, just like Dhoby Ghaut and Outram Park. Circle Line trains that begin from here terminate at HarbourFront MRT station, with a few trains terminating at Stadium during peak hours. However, during off peak hours, usually all trains departing here terminate at Stadium.
Marina Bay Mall is a new shopping mall to replace the portion of East Coast Parkway that is already expunged. It will be owned by CapitaMalls Asia and construction will start in 2014.
History[]
North South Line[]
The civil Contract 310 for the construction of the 900 metres (0.56 mi) cut-and-cover tunnels as well as Marina Bay MRT station was awarded to Gammon-Antara Koh joint venture at a value of S$96.16 million on 8 April 1986. The construction of the tunnel to the station was rather challenging at the time, as the tunnel goes underwater through the Telok Ayer Basin and the station and tunnels were to be built in soft soil. Due to the soft marine clay, open excavation was not possible. Divers had to cut the 20 metres (66 ft) trenches, where the MRT tunnels were to be laid, in zero visibility in very muddy water. A concrete base for the tunnels was then set up with the water pumped out for the tunnels and the station to be built on. The tunnels would then be covered with another layer of concrete before the seabed is refilled. During the construction, a World War 2-era bomb was found on the site. The Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) Bomb Disposal Unit was called and the bomb was safely detonated elsewhere.
The station was opened on 4 November 1989 and was the terminus of the North South Line, until the North South Line Extension to Marina South Pier on 23 November 2014. On 8 January 2006, this station had their bomb explosions in terrorist attacks. Before regular southbound trains were scheduled to terminate at Marina South Pier from 13 March 2017 (Mondays - Fridays), 16 April 2017 (Sundays) as well as 13 May 2017 (Saturdays), platforms at Marina Bay were used both for train turnarounds and trains heading to/from Marina South Pier. Using the set of points that is north of the station, terminating trains arriving from Raffles Place can use either platforms before heading back. Passing through services still calls at the platform.
Circle Line[]
Circle Line Contract 901 for the construction and completion of Marina Bay CCL station was awarded to local company Hock Lian Seng Infrastructure Pte. Ltd. for S$348.4 million in Feb 2008. The scope also includes addition and alteration works to the existing North South Line (NSL) Marina Bay station, localised diversions of the East Coast Parkway and Marina Street as well as demolition of an expunged vehicular underpass.
The Circle Line station was designed by Aedas Architecture. As an integral part of Singapore’s Marina Bay development and an interchange station for two major metro lines, Marina Bay Station is located in a public park. The design aims to integrate the station into the park landscape through landscaping. The translucent ETFE canopy acts as a skylight to allow natural light penetrating deep into the underground hall. To further minimise the visual impact of the station to the surrounding park landscape, only the lift, entrance glazed enclosure, lightweight canopy and reflective pool are visible on street level, giving users full view of the park from the station entrance.
Since the opening of the Circle Line platforms, this station is the first underground station in the Singapore MRT to have its platform above the concourse level.
Ground freezing will be applied for the first time in Singapore rail construction when building the Thomson-East Coast Line part of this station, where it under-cross the existing North-South Line and Circle Line tunnels.
On 15 June 2015, train services between Marina Bay and Marina South Pier Stations was disrupted after a train fault at Marina Bay Station.
Cash top-ups are no longer accepted at Passenger Service Centres from 21 November 2017, at Marina Bay MRT Station.
Thomson East Coast Line[]
Line closed due to the collapse of SMRT in 2418.
Temporary Maintenance Facility[]
Just beside the Circle Line station is the former Downtown Line Temporary Maintenance Facility. As Downtown Line Stage 1 (22 Dec 2013 to 26 Dec 2015) was disconnected from the main depot at Gali Batu, the Temporary Maintenance Facility was used to provide for low-level maintenance work for the Bombardier Movia C951 rolling stock prior to the opening of Downtown Line Stage 2. In the meantime, trains used the Circle Line’s Kim Chuan Depot for the launching of trains and major maintenance works.
The Temporary Maintenance Facility was built as part of the Circle Line Extension and is now used for stabling Circle Line trains. Concealed from view behind a concrete partition wall, the facility can be seen from the scissors crossing just north of the station, with a single access track joining the northbound track.
Platforms[]
Marina Bay Station currently has four platforms, with the North South Line (NSL) and the Circle Line (CCL) occupying two platforms each. The future Thomson-East Coast Line will add another two platforms to the station.
Firstly, the North South Line platforms are arranged in a conventional island platform layout. Full-height Platform screen doors isolate the air-conditioned station from the tunnel environment, enhancing commuter safety and station comfort. Passenger Information Systems, which are plasma display screens located at each platform, display expected train arrival times, destinations and key messages. Tactile flooring helps to guide the visually-handicapped from the platform to the station exits and other platforms on connecting rail lines. A set of escalators, stairs and lifts connect to the concourse above.
The Circle Line platform also uses a conventional island platform layout. Similar to the NSL platforms, Full-height Platform screen doors isolate the air-conditioned station from the tunnel environment, enhancing commuter safety and station comfort. Passenger Information Systems, which are plasma display screens located at each platform, display expected train arrival times, destinations and key messages. Tactile flooring helps to guide the visually-handicapped from the platform to the station exits and other platforms on connecting rail lines. A set of escalators, stairs and lifts connect to the concourse two floors below.
As part of the Circle Line Extension, train services on the Circle Line will operate as a shuttle between Marina Bay and Stadium stations throughout most of the day. However, during the weekday peak hours, train services from Marina Bay will serve the full line, operating between Marina Bay and HarbourFront stations. Both platforms are utilized alternately by terminating trains.
With the platforms at Basement 1 accessible only via the Transfer Hall at Basement 3, Marina Bay CCL station is the first underground MRT station to have its platform level above the concourse level. Just beside the Circle Line station is the former Downtown Line Temporary Maintenance Facility. As Downtown Line Stage 1 (22 Dec 2013 to 26 Dec 2015) was disconnected from the main depot at Gali Batu, the Temporary Maintenance Facility was used to provide for low-level maintenance work for the Bombardier Movia C951 rolling stock prior to the opening of Downtown Line Stage 2. In the meantime, trains used the Circle Line’s Kim Chuan Depot for the launching of trains and major maintenance works.

Concealed from view behind a concrete partition wall, the facility can be seen from the scissors crossing just north of the station, with a single access track joining the northbound track.
Concourse[]
North South Line and Circle Line ticket concourses are located at Basement 1 and Basement 2 respectively. They feature faregates for automatic fare collection and provides access between paid and unpaid areas of the station, with at least one bidirectional wide-swinging gate for the benefit of passengers-in-wheelchairs and those carrying bulky items or travelling with prams. Their faregates were TITAN faregates and were changed in 3 July 2012, and to provide larger crowds when Gardens by the Bay was opened.
General Ticketing Machines allow commuters to purchase tickets for single or multiple journeys, and along with TransitLink Add Value Machines (NSL) and Top-up Machines (CCL), offer contactless card transactions. The station offices at each concourse function as a Passenger Service Centre, and is staffed during operating hours, where commuters may make travel inquiries or perform card transactions using cash payment.
Connecting the NSL concourse and the CCL concourse is the transfer linkway at Basement 2, which provides a paid link between both lines for the benefit of transfer commuters. Near the CCL concourse, the transfer linkway emerges at an atrium where a set of five escalators (3 in paid areas and 2 outside of paid areas) descend to the B3 Transfer Hall, where passengers can ascend to the CCL platforms. The unpaid areas reaching deep into B3 are provisions for the future Thomson-East Coast Line station and a pedestrian mall network linking with future adjacent buildings. Several faregates separate the paid and unpaid areas at Basement 3.
Toilets are located in the unpaid areas of both concourse levels. There are no retail shops located in this station.

It is possible to walk 500 meters to Downtown MRT Station from Exit B of the station.
Among of these, it is only the transfer where patronage is received from Marina South Pier to Bayfront MRT Station via Marina Bay MRT. Due to the opening of Downtown Line (Downtown MRT Station), and major reorganisation of Marina Bay roads, it capped to its certain extent.
Passenger Usage Patterns[]
An an interchange station linking the North South Line with the Circle Line extension, Marina Bay station encounters moderate numbers of transfer passengers between the two lines along with moderate demand from limited surrounding developments. Demand is expected to increase manyfold when the new Central Business District develops in the surrounding area.

Singapore’s Marina Bay is in the heart of the city, located right next to the central business district and packed to the brim with restaurants, shops and attractions.
With major tourist hot-spots, including the Singapore Flyer, Marina Bay Sands and Gardens by the Bay, Marina Bay must be on your itinerary when you visit Singapore.
Read on to find out everything you need to know about exploring Marina Bay.
How to get to Marina Bay
As with most parts of Singapore, the MRT is the most effective mode of transport to, from and around Marina Bay.
To use Singapore’s MRT, you will want to pick up either a Singapore Tourist Pass at the airport or an EZ-Link card.
The Singapore Tourist Pass gives you unlimited access to Singapore’s public transport system for 1-3 days and is super easy and affordable. Alternatively, you can get an EZ-Link card and top it up at an MRT station – this works out a bit cheaper but is also more of a hassle.
Once you have a card, it’s time to find your way to Marina Bay. How you do this will depend on where you are staying.
If you are staying centrally, you can probably walk to Marina Bay. Otherwise, jump on the North-South Line, Circle Line or Downtown Line. There’s plenty of stops in the Marina Bay area, but the Bayfront stop is the most centrally located.
Things to do in Marina Bay
Marina Bay is packed with exciting things to do. Some are expensive and worth splurging on, others are entirely free (like walking around the gardens). This makes it the perfect day for travellers of all budgets.
You generally can’t go too wrong getting off the MRT and walking around. That said, we’ve outlined below some of the best things to do in the area.
Gardens by the Bay
There is nothing in the world like Singapore’s Gardens by the Bay. Here you will find giant plant-covered trees towering over a park with thousands of trees, lakes and picnic spots.
These magnificent, man-made structures are called Supertrees and are built out of concrete and steel with over 150,000 plants embedded into their ‘trunks’. They look like they belong on another planet, but they aren’t just a tourist attraction.
They provide solar energy, collect rainwater and help combat carbon emissions – the latter of which is a primary focus for the Singaporean government.
The OCBC Skyway is a sky bridge running 22-metres above the ground, connecting two of these Supertrees. Tickets can be purchased at the gate or ahead of time here and give you the chance to walk in the sky, amongst the Supertrees. The view is phenomenal and looks out over the entire Supertree Grove, as well as back towards Marina Bay Sands and the Singapore Flyer.
Finally, if you make your way here in the evening, you will want to make sure you don’t miss the Gardens by the Bay light show – Garden Rhapsody. This mesmerizing show displays the Supertrees lit up against the night sky in time to a beautifully composed piece of classical music.
This is one of the best free things to do in Singapore, and it runs at 7.45pm and 8.45pm every day of the week. Don’t miss it!
Cloud Forest and Flower Dome
These two domes are giant glass greenhouses which house two entirely different ecosystems of plants.
The Cloud Forest is an indoor, tropical rainforest with over 250,000 plants sourced from 6 continents around the world. On top of this, it is home to the second tallest indoor waterfall in the world – second only to the Changi Jewel, also in Singapore.
The Flower Dome is dwarfed in ‘coolness’ by the Cloud Forest, but is still worth a visit if time permits (or you’re a lover of flowers). Thousands of flowers and tropical palms are scattered throughout this greenhouse, with cool sculptures designed to transform the place into a magical wonderland.
You’ll need a few hours to explore both of the domes. Tickets to both domes cost $28 SGD, or you can get access to just one for $15 SGD by asking at the kiosk.
Marina Bay Sands
Everyone recognizes the iconic Marina Bay Sands hotel in Singapore – it looks like a cruise ship carefully balancing atop 3 huge skyscrapers.
Firstly, it’s a hotel. If your budget can stretch, we’d highly recommend staying here thanks to its convenient location, luxurious rooms and spectacular views over the city. Booking a room is also the only way to gain access to the stunning infinity pool at the top.
If you choose not to stay here (fair enough, it’s definitely not ‘budget’ accommodation), then you can pay to visit the observation deck (tickets here) where you’ll get panoramic views over the entire Marina Bay area and the surrounding suburbs.
Aside from the views, Marina Bay Sands is also a great photographic subject itself. Set yourself up far enough away and capture that perfect shot. Our favorite spots are near the helix bridge and next to the Merlion fountain.
At the base of Marina Bay Sands you will find an impressive luxury shopping center. This is a great place to shop and you can grab a bite to eat at the giant food court on the lowest fall.
Lastly, consider catching the fountain light show. It runs at 8pm and 9.30pm each day of the week – you can time this with the Gardens by the Bay light show at 8.45pm.
Singapore Flyer
The Singapore Flyer is one of the world’s tallest ferris wheels and stand proudly next to the Marina Bay Sands hotel.
From the top you’ll find some of the best views over Singapore, we’d recommend visiting in the evening during sunset. Tickets are pricey (get one here which includes a drink, too), but are well worth it if it fits within your budget.
However, if you’re afraid of heights, consider visiting the Marina Bay Sands Observation Deck instead.
Marina Barrage
The Marina Barrage is a purpose built, 350-meter dam in Singapore’s Marina Bay. It was designed to resolve two key issues in Singapore: insufficient water supply for Singapore’s growing population, and rising sea-levels causing floods in low-lying areas of the city.
Despite its utility-driven purpose, Marina Barrage fills up with tourists and locals thanks to its unique architecture and dog-friendly park. It offers a hub for recreational activities and a tourist attraction for visitors.
In terms of slotting this into your day, consider walking here either before or after going to Gardens by the Bay, as it is located very far South where the Marina Bay meets the ocean. There isn’t a train directly to Marina Barrage so it will require either a car or a bit of a walk.
Merlion Park
The Merlion is a mythical half-fish, half-lion and is the official mascot of Singapore. Most countries pick real animals as their mascot, making the Merlion one of the most original national mascots in the world (and in our opinion, the coolest).
You’ll find the Merlion all around Singapore, often in the form of statues, logos or water fountains. One of the most popular is found in Marina Bay along the waterfront. This water fountain is unmissable and depicts a Merlion spurting water from its mouth.
It’s also conveniently located looking out towards the Marina Bay Sands hotel and the Singapore Flyer, which makes for some spectacular photographic opportunities.

Underground Singapore
What’s out of sight is out of mind, and what goes on underground doesn’t often come to light. Rocks and soil aside, there are lots of other man-made spaces lying beneath us. From huge ammunition depots to automated bike parking, here are 7 things that lie underground in Singapore that you probably never knew existed:
Table of Contents
Underground Singapore
1. Underground electricity transmission tunnels
2. Underground Ammunition Facility
3. The “underground city” of Marina Bay Sands
4. Singapore’s only underground mosque
5. Tiong Bahru’s Air Raid Shelter & other underground bunkers
6. Deep Tunnel Sewerage System
7. Jurong Rock Caverns
Bonus: Bidadari Bus Interchange
1. Underground electricity transmission tunnels

Imagine $2.4 billion dollars. I can’t either, but that massive budget is going into Singapore’s underground transmission cable tunnel project that will be dug 60-80m deep, or about 20 storeys underground.
They aren’t small pipes for skinny wires either. These monsters are 6m wide, with adults able to walk through them comfortably – or as comfortably as you can be this far underground.
Image credit: SP Group
Since getting lost in this 40km-long underground network would be an absolute nightmare, engineers have to work in pairs and carry a safety tracker. No phone signals can enter the tunnels as well so workers have to communicate via a built-in telephone system.
Once completed, this channel of high voltage cables can power 20% of Singapore’s electricity needs for more than a hundred years.
2. Underground Ammunition Facility
Perhaps the most intriguing of this lot is the Underground Ammunition Facility, which is believed to be the world’s most modern. In almost Area 51 style, this space is used by the Singapore military to store explosives and ammunition.
Image adapted from: MINDEF
The actual depth of the facility has never been disclosed but it is said to lie under Mandai Quarry. Tight spaces might be the first thing that comes to mind upon hearing the words ‘underground storage’, but this facility is the size of 400 football fields or half the size of Pasir Ris New Town.

3. The “underground city” of Marina Bay Sands
Marina Bay Sands might be Singapore’s iconic skyscraper that reaches high into the sky. But little do most realise, it has a whole underground city, called Heart-of-House, made just for its army of more than 10,000 staff.

If you really think about it, this ingenious underground service space makes perfect sense. After all, the backend operation of this massive hotel and entertainment structure has to happen somewhere.

This hidden space lies underneath the span of the 3 hotel towers and has been coined as a “mini-city”. There are 2 dining rooms, a wardrobe department with more than 160,000 pieces of uniform, 24h convenience store, and dedicated areas for staff movie screenings and cooking workshops.

It’s pretty much an entire community operating underground. Check out our behind the scenes look at MBS’s underground city.
4. Singapore’s only underground mosque
This might come off as a surprise particularly to non-Muslims, but there’s actually an underground mosque in Singapore – under the second-tallest building in Singapore, UOB Plaza One.
Image adapted from: Sofyan Paparico
Masjid Moulana Mohamed Ali is one-of-a-kind in Singapore, being the only mosque under sea level on this island. Located right next to the bustling Raffles Place, this mosque has an obscure entrance most people walk past daily without even noticing.

For Muslims working or hanging out in the CBD and Orchard area, you may find our list of prayer rooms in town useful.
5. Tiong Bahru’s Air Raid Shelter & other underground bunkers
World War 2 might be decades behind us, but evidence of our forefathers’ efforts to survive remains. There are pockets of hidden underground bunkers such as the Tiong Bahru’s Air Raid Shelter dotted around Singapore, most of which are as old as they look.
More often than not, they resemble a scene straight out of a horror movie. You know, the kind where you’ll be screaming at the protagonists to not enter.
Truth be told, I’m not sure I’d wanna be here even in times of a zombie apocalypse.
Intrinsic dankness and creepiness ignored, we explored 4 of Singapore’s hidden bunkers scattered across neighbourhoods such as Queenstown and Pasir Panjang. They’re pretty well hidden, hard to access, and some are filled with cockroaches, so beware!
6. Deep Tunnel Sewerage System

Sewage stinks and we want it as far away from us as possible. While we already know that all the gunky stuff is flushed down the pipe, where it heads to next is a mystery no one actually thinks of.
Here it is: after everything whirlpools out of view, your sewage actually heads on underground. PUB is currently building an underground Deep Tunnel Sewerage System that will eventually form an underground “highway” for waste 20-50m deep.
By 2025, your “big and small business” will flow, using gravity, from all parts of the country, through 200km underground sewers, into 3 Water Reclamation Plants.
7. Jurong Rock Caverns
Image credit: JTC
40 storeys above the ground might get you a pretty good view, but go 40 storeys under, you’d get the otherworldly Jurong Rock Caverns, the deepest known spot in Singapore.
Image adapted from: JTC
Located 150m under sea level, the closed-access space is the first underground oil storage facility in Southeast Asia and is certainly an underground world of its own.
Access shaft.Image credit: JTC
The enormous space is made of 5 rock caverns and 8km of tunnels, and is used to store liquid hydrocarbons such as crude oil, condensate, naphtha, and gas oil for commercial purposes.
Bonus: Bidadari Bus Interchange
MRT lines and expressways have been constructed underground, but there’s said to be a new member of this party – bus interchanges.
Bidadari Bus Interchange will be the first underground air-conditioned bus interchange to be built under HDB flats in Singapore and will be connected to Woodleigh MRT station. Complete avoidance of the sweltering heat above ground? Yes, please.
Completion date for this project is yet to be confirmed.
(Closed) Automated underground bike parking
Common banes of bicycle parking include: thefts, lack of proper parking space and rainy weather drenching the bike – along with everything in it; and all of these are solved by heading underground.
Image credit: @farzana_fattah via Instagram
In Woodlands, there is a fully automated bicycle parking system that goes up to 10m underground to rid residents of all their bicycle parking woes. The parking system run by SecureMyBike was the first of its kind in Singapore with a capacity for more than 500 bikes.
Singapore’s underground world
They used to say the sky’s the limit but now, perhaps the same goes for magma.
There’s a whole different world underground, and it’s only getting bigger with time. Potential underground goods transport systems, utility plants and even reservoirs are already being explored; and who knows, one day we might be able to have underground entertainment spaces like theme parks too – that’s already a thing in Romania!

The Land Transport Authority (LTA) is pleased to announce the rail alignment and station locations for Thomson Line (TSL).
2. The 30-km long TSL will connect commuters living along the North South corridor directly to the heart of the city and developments in the Marina Bay area. TSL will run from Woodlands in the north to Marina Bay. Fully underground, TSL will have 22 stations, including six interchange stations. These interchange stations will link the East West Line (EWL), North South Line (NSL), North East Line (NEL), Circle Line (CCL) and the future Downtown Line (DTL), for greater accessibility and improved travel time.
Better Connectivity and Shorter Waiting Time with TSL
3. Running parallel to the existing NSL, TSL will serve commuters living and working along its corridor in Woodlands, Sin Ming, Thomson, Kim Seng and Marina Bay areas that are not served by the existing MRT network. With six interchange stations, commuters can reach their destinations in the shortest possible time, directly or by making transfers at the interchanges. Residents along the TSL corridor will be able to experience savings in travel time. For example, a Sin Ming resident travelling to Republic Polytechnic will have his journey time reduced by half, from 50 minutes to 25 minutes.
Improved Integration with the Rail Network
4. With six interchange stations, the TSL will connect to all existing lines and the future DTL for improved accessibility to other areas:
a) TSL will connect to the NSL at the Woodlands and Orchard stations. Workers heading to the industrial estates of Woodlands and Sungei Kadut will be able to change trains at the NSL Woodlands station. b) Caldecott station will connect commuters to the orbital CCL, offering inter-suburban connectivity. c) Residents living along the Bukit Timah stretch can conveniently change trains at the future DTL Stevens station to connect to the TSL. d) Outram Park station and the Marina Bay stations will provide excellent network access with the TSL connecting to the EWL and NEL at Outram Park station, and the NSL and CCL Marina Bay station.
5. The TSL will be completed in three stages, with the first stretch (three stations from Woodlands North to Woodlands South) to be completed in 2019. The second stretch (six stations from Springleaf to Caldecott) will be completed in 2020 and the final stretch (13 stations from Mount Pleasant to Gardens by the Bay) in 2021. When fully operational in 2021, the 22 stations on TSL will serve about 400,000 commuters daily.
6. While all efforts have been made to minimise land acquisition, the Government will need to acquire four full lots, including a post office along Upper Thomson Road and two landed properties along Stevens Road and Robin Close. Pearls Centre will also be affected by the TSL construction as a TSL tunnel will run under part of the building. To optimise land use around the future TSL station at Outram Park, Pearls Centre at Eu Tong Sen Street will be acquired and amalgamated with the adjoining State land for a high-density mixed-use development. Five other part lots will be acquired but the acquisition will not affect the main building structure.
7. The Singapore Land Authority (SLA) has gazetted the lands affected by acquisition today. Landowners who are directly affected will receive acquisition notices. SLA will also get in touch with them over the course of the next few weeks to assist them with their queries and concerns.
8. Should you require additional information, you may call the following hotlines:

About
Marina Bay is a MRT Station located in Marina Bay. It has five exits.
The North South Line platforms are arranged in a conventional island platform layout. Prior to regular southbound trains being scheduled to turnaround at Marina South Pier, platforms at Marina Bay were used both for train turnarounds and trains heading to/from Marina South Pier. Using a set of points north of the station, terminating trains arriving from Raffles Place arrive at either Platform A or B to before heading back towards Raffles Place and Jurong East. At the same time, passing-through-trains call at Platform B towards Marina South Pier, and at Platform A towards Jurong East.

The Circle Line platform uses a conventional island platform layout. CCL platforms were renumbered from A & B to C & D respectively upon the opening of the TEL on 13 Nov 2022. As part of the Circle Line Extension, train services on the Circle Line will operate as a shuttle between Marina Bay and Stadium stations throughout most of the day. However, during the weekday peak hours, train services from Marina Bay will serve the full line, operating between Marina Bay and HarbourFront stations via Bishan. Both platforms are utilized alternately by terminating trains. With the platforms at Basement 1 accessible only via the Ticket Concourse / Transfer Hall at Basement 2, Marina Bay CCL station is the first underground MRT station to have its platform level above the concourse level.

The TEL platforms are arranged in a stacked side configuration. Heading south from Marina Bay station, trains pass through the unopened Marina South station.

NSL & TEL ticket concourses are located at Basement 1, while the CCL ticket concourse is located at Basement 2.They feature faregates for automatic fare collection and provides access between paid and unpaid areas of the station, with at least one bidirectional wide-swinging gate for the benefit of passengers-in-wheelchairs and those carrying bulky items or travelling with prams. Ticketing Service Kiosks at the ticket concourse offer contactless card transactions. The station offices at each concourse function as a Passenger Service Centre, and is staffed during operating hours. Although the Circle Line ticket concourse is at Basement 2, the Circle Line Passenger Service Centre is at Basement 1, next to Exit 2 faregates.

Art In Transit
North-South Line
National Day Babies in 2015 by Tay Kay Chin: These 50 photographed images featured 53 Singaporeans born from year 1965 to 2014 as a birthday gift to Singapore in celebrating SG50. The 53 Singaporeans chosen reflects Singapore's demography in terms of gender, ethnic, and occupation. Sharing these photographs of people born on August 9, our National Day, who take different routes to success, the artist hopes to inspire all who passes by the artwork to strive and believe in one self and succeed in doing something extraordinary for the benefit of our nation.
Circle Line
Train Rides on Rainy Days by Nah Yong En: “Train Rides on Rainy Days” comprises of two sets of photographs, ‘greenery’ and ‘blue evening’ taken from the inside of MRT trains on the East-West and North-South Lines during rainy days. The photographic works are of places that we might probably have become so familiar with that we no longer consciously notice.
Flowers In Blossom II by Tay Chee Toh: The mobile of delicate sculptures resembling flowers was originally hung in Orchard station. It was re-commissioned as homage to the legacy of art in Singapore’s MRT train stations, from before the Art in Transit programme was launched in 1997 for the North East Line.
Thomson-East Coast Line
Walking into the Interstitial by Tang Ling Nah: Taking the form of trompe l’œil murals, the artwork draws attention to everyday spaces easily missed by commuters on the go. It also bridges the old Central Business District (CBD) and the new financial centre in Marina Bay, where this station is located.
The artist created original charcoal drawings which were then scanned and printed onto vitreous enamel panels. The artwork takes reference from the stairways, doors, windows and interstitial spaces, such as alleys and corridors, found in areas like Cecil Street, Raffles Place and Shenton Way in the old CBD. The old CBD is transposed into the new financial centre, creating uncanny moments of ‘unfamiliar’ familiarity and invoking memories of an ever-changing city.

Order received for subway construction work in Singapore
Penta-Ocean Construction Co., Ltd. (President Yoshio Murashige) has received an order from the Singapore Land Transport Authority (LTA) for the construction of the Woodlands North Station, the northernmost station on the Thomson Line of the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) System (subway and elevated railway), and surrounding tunneling works (T202 region).
The amount of the order received is 26.8 billion yen and the construction is scheduled to be completed in 69 months by Sep 2019. The Company has also received an order for the construction of the Bendemeer Station and surrounding tunneling works (C933 region) on the Downtown Line in 2011. This is the fifth order received following orders received for the HarbourFront Station Building on the Circle Line and the Expo Station Building on the East-West Line and so on.
The Thomson Line is scheduled to be an underground subway about 30 km long linking 22 stations from the Woodlands area in the north of Singapore to the Marina Bay area in the south. Tenders for construction works in 25 sub-divided areas have been called for sequentially since the beginning of 2013. The Singapore Government has announced plans to expand the overall length of the MRT subways to 360 km or twice the current length. Eventually, about 80% of all households are expected to stay within a 10 minutes walking radius of the nearest MRT station with about 400,000 people using the subway system every day.
Besides the MRT works ordered by LTA, the Company is currently involved in two other tunneling projects in the country and has also received an order for tunneling works between Jurong and Pioneer this year. The Company is involved in the tunneling works for the "Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong High Speed Railway Construction Project" by the Hong Kong Mass Transit Railway Corporation Ltd as well. The current order was received in recognition of the Company's advanced technical capabilities, including its track record in Japan.
Since establishing its sales office in Singapore in 1965, the Company has participated in numerous large-scale projects in Singapore. Going forward, it is expected to continue with other infrastructure projects such as energy-related facilities, roads, railways, harbour construction and so on. The Company considers Singapore to be one of the key markets for its overseas business and will continue to proactively expand the business while keeping an eye on the bottom line.

Aaaaaaaaall aboard! The Global Leaders woke up bright and early to visit one of Singapore’s most widely used civil infrastructure systems. With hearts full of excitement and dreary eyes from long travel, we followed the tracks to the Mayflower Mass Rail Transit Station. The station is located in Ang Mo Kio along Avenue 4. Underground one can hear as the skilled labor are hard at work constructing the 43km-planned Thomson-East Coast Line.
The Thomson-East Coast line will consist of 31 stations and will be Singapore’s sixth rail line. The first stage of the project will complete the construction of three stations at Woodlands North, Woodlands, and Woodlands South by 2019. The second phase is expected to be completed a year later, finishing six stations, including the Mayflower. The third phase will complete construction of the CBD and the Marina Bay area, reducing travel time for Woodlands South by 35min. The fourth phase will span towards the east of the city, expecting to open in 2023. Full completion of the Thomson-East Coast Line will occur in 2024, adding to final stations in the fifth phase of construction (Kable). The total cost of the full line is estimated at about S$2.73 billion. All MRT stations are run and operated by the Land Transport Authority (LTA).
The design-build contract for the Mayflower Station was awarded on October 17, 2013 is worth close to $175 million. But who’s the conductor for the construction operation, you ask? The Gammon Construction Lmtd. of course!
The Mayflower Station will have 7 separate entrances surrounding the station box where the rail tunnel and loading station will be located. Gammon’s main purpose is to complete the station before the soil boring machine arrives from the previous stop. Construction of the station will undergo several levels including a Subway Roof, Roof Slab, Concourse, Mezzanine Level, and Base Level. For the Station Box, secant bored piles were installed to stabilize the perimeter walls of the underground structure. Both top-down and bottom-up approach will be implemented to excavate and construct the station.
The top down method was used specifically for the section box for it is underneath the main roadway, cutting through the middle of the station. The method is useful for situations with tight quarters. Before any excavation, it involves drilling a secant bored pile wall to establish the perimeter walls of the enclosure of the underground station. Steel piles are driven into the ground within the surroundings of the enclosure and struts are installed to ensure the walls stay open as excavation continues. With this approach, the first slab is poured at the highest level, leaving but an access shaft open. Once the floor slab has cured, the equipment enter through the access shaft to dig deeper and remove spoil. Following, a second level of struts is installed for the subsequent floor and another slab is cast-in-place. This process is repeated until the desired depth is reached. Finally, the floor slabs are completed where the access shafts used to be and the struts are removed. The bottom-up approach will be used for the remainder of the station’s excavation. As with the previous methodology, once an earth retaining system is installed to enclose the main cavity of the station, steel piles are driven into the ground and metal struts are installed to keep the walls back. Slowly, the ground is excavated down to a desired level, carefully adding additional struts and structural framing as the ground level is lowered. Once full excavation is complete, the base slab is poured with concrete and subsequently, the intermediate level floor slabs are poured. This approach was used in the areas around the section box where the entrances will be located. The reasoning is because there is enough land to divert any utilities or roadways while excavation is occurring.To observe a diagrammatic explanation, please see the Thomson-Line’s blog: https://thomson-line.blogspot.sg/2014/05/construction-methodologies.html
Currently, the project is 70% complete, experiencing over 2.5million man hours of labor. The main focus now is finishing the exterior shell of the station from a secant bored pile wall to a concrete finished surface including waterproofing, equaling to a full wall thickness of 1.9m.
Of course, there is never any project without its unique challenges. Along the full span of the station, there exists a 10 m elevation change. Along the perimeter exist several residential blocks sitting on shallow foundations, eagerly awaiting movement if settlement is not monitored regularly. With much to wrap one’s head around do not forget about the required earth retention, traffic diversion, waterproofing, utility rerouting, …and of course, pleasing the architect and his design.With so much to tackle in such a competitive market, Gammon started to get innovative. With so much rebar required on site, it put a strain on the cost of labor and cost of material. With the perks of design-build, they worked with the designers to install assymetrical rebar cages. Additionally, the contractor tried to prefabricate as much as possible offsite to reduce labor costs and time. A mono rail system was also installed within the lower quarters of the station to aid in dismantling and lifting any massive structural components. The instrumentation worked similarly to a horizontally sliding crane attached to the ceiling every sublevel. This system was specifically designed for this job and was the first of its kind to be installed in Singapore! It was a successful approach to Gammon’s drive for innovation.
But, unfortunately, our trip had to end and we had to part with the amazing team. The Global Leaders specifically want to thank Ramasamy Thangavelu for the informative and descriptive presentation, as well as, Choon Chan Wai, Shafier Salim, several other team members for leading us down for a tour of the site. It was truly a worthwhile experience! After our site visit, we walked across the street to eat at a local favorite for some delicious Chinese food as our first abroad meal together. Everyone adored the chicken and rice, while others may have squinted at new flavors trying lotus root and the hot chili sauce for the first time. With some practice, we will leave as food experts of Southeast Asian cuisine.

Space-starved Singapore has expanded outwards by building into the sea and upwards by constructing high-rises but planners are now looking underground as they seek new areas for growth.

The nation has carefully managed its rapid growth in recent decades to avoid the problems faced by other fast-developing Asian metropolises, such as overcrowding and traffic chaos.
But with its population of 5.6 million expected to grow steadily in coming years, authorities are now considering how to better use the space below the streets in a city that is just half the size of Los Angeles.
Singapore has already built an underground highway and state-of-the-art air conditioning system but is now looking to house more facilities beneath the surface in order to optimize land use above it.
"We need to consider options for putting critical infrastructure underground," Abhineet Kaul, a Singapore-based public sector specialist at consultancy Frost & Sullivan, told AFP.
"We have an increasing need for industrial, commercial, residential and green space on land in Singapore."
According to a draft development plan released in March, authorities want to put utilities, transport as well as storage and industrial facilities underground in order to free up land on the surface.
There are as yet no plans to put housing underground, however.
Three-dimensional technology will be used to produce subterranean maps, with three pilot areas targeted initially, according to the Urban Redevelopment Authority, which created the development plan.
Digging deep
Singapore is the latest city to try to make use of subterranean space.
Finland's capital Helsinki has tunnels housing car parks, shopping malls, and even swimming pools, while Montreal in Canada has a so-called "Underground City", a tunnel network connecting key points.
In a report commissioned by Samsung about what the world will look like in 50 years, experts predicted the appearance of "earthscrapers" -- like an inverted skyscraper burrowing downwards for many storeys -- in an attempt to save space in overcrowded cities.
Singapore's main method of expansion has been land reclamation from the sea, which has increased the country's area by over a quarter to 720 square kilometers (280 square miles), with most growth happening since independence in 1965.
But reclamation has become more expensive as it moved to deeper waters, while countries that used to sell sand to Singapore have stopped exports due to environmental concerns.
Unregulated sand mining erodes beaches and riverbanks, affecting wildlife and removing natural barriers to flooding, and dredging the seabed can damage ecosystems, green groups say.
Moving facilities underground has advantages beyond saving space, including reduced use of air conditioning which could save energy in Singapore's tropical climate.
Still, building underground in Singapore poses challenges -- construction is difficult beneath an already urbanised environment while new projects will compete for space with existing subterranean facilities.
"Underground construction normally involves the blasting of rocks and if it's in the downtown area, you will not be able to use blasting," said Chu Jian, a civil and environmental engineering professor at the Nanyang Technological University (NTU).
'Next frontier'
One of the most ambitious underground projects so far in Singapore is a system that pumps chilled water through pipes to cool buildings around the city-state's popular waterfront district of Marina Bay.
Buildings which use the centralized system -- rather than relying entirely on their own air conditioners -- have reduced energy consumption by around 40 percent, said Foo Yang Kwang, chief engineer of Singapore District Cooling, SP Group, which is behind the project.
Reduced energy use has enabled the buildings to slash their annual carbon dioxide emissions by 34,500 tonnes, which is equivalent to taking 10,000 cars off the road, he said.
Other current subterranean facilities in Singapore include Southeast Asia's longest underground expressway, measuring 12 kilometers (7.4 miles), the metro train, an ammunition depot, and rock caverns beneath the seabed which are used to store oil.

NTU, one of the city's top institutes of higher education, is considering building labs and even classrooms underground, according to Chu.
But he said shifting things underground is just one way of coping as the city-state grows: "It is the next frontier, but not the final frontier.
"I am confident that we will be able to figure out other ways to create new space."

Area: 30m² | Year of Completion: 2011
Marina Bay MRT station is an underground Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) interchange station on the North-South Line (NSL) and Circle Line (CCL), operated by SMRT Trains. The station is located on the boundary of the Downtown Core and Straits View planning areas in Singapore and was built alongside Bayfront Avenue. As the name suggests, it is located near Marina Bay.
”Train Rides on Rainy Days” by Nah Yong En
“Train Rides on Rainy Days” comprises two sets of photographs, ‘greenery’ and ‘blue evening,’ taken from the inside of MRT trains on the East-West and North-South Lines during rainy days. The photographic works are of places we might probably have become so familiar with that we no longer consciously notice.
Just as rain brings cool relief and washes the city anew, this collection of images brings a refreshing element of nature into the underground station. The 14 raindrop photos depict scenes that commuters can see if they looked out of the window during a rainy train ride above ground.
TECO fabricated and supplied 30m² of vitreous enamel graphic panels to this project at the platform level. Vitreous enamel graphic panels combine aesthetically pleasing colors and glossy finishing with outstanding properties, such as anti-graffiti, fire-rated, corrosion protection, and impact resistance. Unaffected by the environment, the color of VE panels will not fade and remain as aesthetical as many decades to come.

SINGAPORE: The platform canopy structure of the former Tanjong Pagar Railway Station is expected to be fully reassembled by next year.
It was previously cut up and put aside to make way for MRT works.
This comes as the new Cantonment MRT station, built under the site, is on track to open in 2026. It is part of a project to close the loop between Harbourfront and Marina Bay, by adding three new MRT stations on the Circle Line.
About 70 per cent of the reinstatement has been completed to date, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) said on Friday (Mar 8).
Each time, one to two panels were brought on-site from a storage space about 700m away. All 63 pieces will be joined to make up a 580m shelter linked to the MRT station.
The design of the Cantonment MRT station has taken into consideration the original design of the historic railway station, said LTA senior project engineer Zoey Zheng Ye.
“With the integration of both the new and old train stations … the commuters will get to enjoy a unique blend of the past and present reflecting the rich historical value of the national monument,” she said.
THE PROCESS TO REINSTATE CANOPY STRUCTURE
The overall process was not an easy one, said Mr Wong Chung Wan, technical director at MAEK Consulting, the material specialist that has been advising the restoration project.
It took the restoration project team almost a year to study how it could be done.
“The sheer size of the canopy itself … is one of the biggest challenges because it's very heavy (and) huge,” said Mr Wong.
He added that the team had to be careful about where to cut the canopy to prevent damage to the structure.
“The other challenge is because the Shanghai plaster was exposed to the weather for so long, it was very, very dirty, full of stains. We had to clean them. (The) matter of cleaning has to be taken with great care because otherwise, you will cause more damage to the Shanghai plaster, more erosion,” he said. Shanghai plaster refers to the finish on the structure, a type of decorative concrete.
Retaining the original look was another challenge.
"It's very, very difficult to match, number one, the colour, and number two, the texture. Any new ones we make will look very clean, very new. So there has to be a balance that needs to be handled in order to get a good match,” he said.
“AN ENGINEERING FEAT”
The engineering aspects of moving panels of such size and weight are also complex. With the supporting steel frame, each panel weighs about 60 tonnes.
Connecting them back requires steel bars.
"We think that it is quite an engineering feat, not something that is commonly done and if you can pull it off, then probably it's one of the few. It is a demonstration of the engineering capabilities for local specialists, professionals, contractors,” said Mr Wong.
No reconstruction works were required, as necessary precautions were taken to ensure the panels were maintained in their original condition, LTA said.
For instance, a zinc sheet was used to protect them against harsh weather.
Restoration of the main building is expected to be carried out over the next few years, and the public is invited to give their ideas on how the station can be developed as part of the Urban Redevelopment Authority's Long-Term Plan Review.

Marina Bay (NS27/CE2/TE20) is a Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station on the North–South Line, the Circle Line and the Thomson–East Coast Line[1].
History[edit]
Date Event 4 November 1989 Station officially opened 8 January 2006 Station involved in Exercise Northstar V (Counter terrorism)[2] 14 January 2012 Station interchanged with Circle Line 13 November 2022 Station interchanged with Thomson–East Coast Line
Construction challenges[edit]
The construction of the tunnel to the station was rather challenging at the time, as the tunnel went below the Telok Ayer basin and the station and tunnels were to be built in soft soil. Due to the soft marine clay, open excavation was not possible. Divers had to cut the 20m trenches, where the MRT tunnels were to be laid, in zero visibility and very muddy water. A concrete base for the tunnels was then laid with the water pumped out for the tunnels and the station to be built on. The tunnels were then covered with another layer of concrete before the seabed was refilled.[3][4] During the construction, a World War II-era bomb was found at the work site. The Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) Bomb Disposal Unit was called and the bomb was safely detonated elsewhere.[5]
Ground freezing will also be applied for the first time in Singapore rail construction when building the Thomson–East Coast Line part of this station, where it under-cross the existing North–South Line and Circle Line tunnels.[6]
Artworks[edit]
North–South Line: National Day Babies in 2015 by Tay Kay Chin
These 50 photographed images featured 53 Singaporeans born from year 1965 to 2014 as a birthday gift to Singapore in celebrating SG50. The 53 Singaporeans chosen reflects Singapore's demography in terms of gender, ethnic, and occupation. Sharing these photographs of people born on August 9, our National Day, who take different routes to success, the artist hopes to inspire all who passes by the artwork to strive and believe in one self and succeed in doing something extraordinary for the benefit of our nation.
Circle Line: Train Rides on Rainy Days by Nah Yong En
Just as rain brings cool relief and wash the city anew, this collection of images brings a refreshing element of nature into the underground station. The 14 raindrop photos depict scenes that commuters can see if they looked out of the window during a rainy train ride above ground.[7]
Circle Line: Flowers in Blossom II by Tay Chee Toh
The mobile of delicate sculptures resembling flowers was originally hung in Orchard station. It was re-commissioned as homage to the legacy of art in Singapore’s MRT train stations, even before the Art in Transit programme was launched in 1997 for the North East Line.[7]
Architecture[edit]
Visibility, integration and efficiency as the focal points when designing the Circle Line portion of the station. The design also has provisions for a future underground pedestrian network and connections to future developments. The translucent canopy acts as a skylight to allow natural light into the underground hall. The large entrance also allows large amounts of natural light to enter the station.[8] To limit the visual impact of the station to the surrounding park landscape, only the lift, escalators, the lightweight ETFE canopy and the reflective pool are visible from street level, giving users a full view of the park from the station entrance. The reflective pool also provides a smooth transition between the exits and the park.[9]
The station design was the winner of the Small Project Award at the World Architecture Festival in 2012.[9] Other awards includes the Land Transport Excellence Awards 2012,[10] the 2013 UIPT Asia-Pacific Grow with Public Transport Award[11] and honourable mention for the Singapore Institute of Architects Architectural Design Awards 2012.[12]

Singapore's sixth subway, the S$18-billion Thomson Line (TSL), will have 22 stations running from Woodlands in the north to Marina Bay in the south, government said on Wednesday as it revealed the exact locations of the stops.
In a joint statement, the Land Transport Authority and Urban Redevelopment Authority said the line will include six interchange stations that will link to the four other existing MRT lines in Singapore, as well as the future Downtown Line.
Running parallel to the existing North South Line, TSL will serve commuters living and working along its corridor in Woodlands, Sin Ming, Thomson, Kim Seng and Marina Bay areas that are not served by the existing MRT network.
Residents along the TSL corridor will be able to experience savings in travel time. For example, a Sin Ming resident travelling to Republic Polytechnic will have his journey time reduced by half, from 50 minutes to 25 minutes, the government agencies said.
Construction work for TSL will commence in stages from third quarter of 2013, LTA told Yahoo! Singapore.
The TSL will be completed in three stages, with the first stretch (three stations from Woodlands North to Woodlands South) to be completed in 2019.
The second stretch (six stations from Springleaf to Caldecott) will be completed in 2020 and the final stretch (13 stations from Mount Pleasant to Gardens by the Bay) in 2021.
When fully operational in 2021, the 22 stations on TSL will serve about 400,000 commuters daily.
However, to get the project going, government will need to acquire four full lots, including a post office along Upper Thomson Road and two landed properties along Stevens Road and Robin Close, the agencies said.
Pearls Centre will also be affected by the TSL construction as a TSL tunnel will run under part of the building, they explained.
Also, to optimise land use around the future TSL station at Outram Park, Pearls Centre at Eu Tong Sen Street will be acquired and amalgamated with the adjoining State land for a high-density mixed-use development.
Five other part lots will be acquired but the acquisition will not affect the main building structure, they added.
The Singapore Land Authority (SLA) on Wednesday gazetted the lands affected by acquisition.
Landowners who are directly affected will receive acquisition notices. SLA will also get in touch with them over the course of the next few weeks to assist them with their queries and concerns, said LTA and URA.
Woodlands resident Shirley Tay, 20, said the new line is convenient for those who stay in the north and travels to central Singapore.
"And if we want to go to the area around Marina Barrage or Marina Bay, we don't have to change buses or MRT lines to get there. It's a straight-forward journey," Tay added.
However, some commuters feel that the new MRT line is similar to the North South Line.
Yahoo! Singapore reader Chris Tan said, "[They] should build tracks that connects North East Line (Punggol) to North South Line (Woodlands) to East West Line (Changi Airport). ... This track is almost identical to the North South Line, waste of resources."

Marina Bay Sands: The Hotel
The hotel consists of a whopping 2,561 rooms as well as a 120,000 square-meter convention exhibition center. The 3 hotel towers, each of which has 55 floors, are capped by the iconic 340m-long SkyPark. The Shoppes is the primary shopping attraction at the hotel, featuring some of the world’s most popular boutiques and F&B outlets like Chanel, Cartier, Armani, and Saint Laurent Paris. Themed around Las Vegas’ The Venetian, guests can take Sampan rides along the canal as they browse the shops in the malls. Guests with a hotel key card have exclusive access to the ArtScience Museum and the Infinity Pool. It is always fascinating to go on one of the spotlight tours at the ArtScience Museum or visit the opulent casino at the hotel.
Marina Bay Sands Architecture
Marina Bay Sands' architecture, envisioned by Moshe Safdie, combines cutting-edge design with practicality. The three towers accommodate a hotel, casino, and convention center. Atop them, the distinctive SkyPark resembles a sleek ship hull, offering stunning panoramic views.
Drawing inspiration from playing cards, the architecture blends curved lines and geometric patterns, creating an aesthetic that is both visually captivating and structurally innovative. The building's façade predominantly features high-performance glass, which not only allows for optimal natural lighting but also contributes to energy efficiency by reducing the need for excessive artificial lighting during the day.
Marina Bay Sands Sustainability
As it turns out, Marina Bay Sands is big on sustainability! The architecture's sustainable ethos is embodied in its materials and features. The extensive use of high-performance glass not only bathes interiors in natural light but also optimizes energy consumption. The incorporation of lush, landscaped gardens on the SkyPark contributes to thermal insulation and energy efficiency, while also offering a serene respite for visitors. Additionally, rainwater harvesting systems, vertical greenery, and reflective pools underscore Marina Bay Sands' commitment to resource conservation and environmental harmony.

Best Time to Visit Marina Bay Sands
Early evening or late afternoon is the best time to visit Marina Bay Sands SkyPark.

Watching Singapore as it is bathed in the evening sun’s orange hue before the city lights up for the night is a truly enchanting experience. Since the site is open until 9 PM, you can also consider visiting Marina Bay Sand SkyPark much later in the evening for a luxurious dining experience. The lights of Sentosa Island, Gardens by the Bay, and the entire city are a treat for the eyes as you sip your favourite cocktail. The city itself is a year-round tourist hotspot but is particularly easy to explore in the dry season (February to April).

|
Marina Bay MRT station (NS27/CE2/TE20) is an underground Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) interchange station on the North South Line and Circle Line, located on the boundary of Downtown Core and Straits View planning areas in Singapore. The station is designed by Aedas.
It was the southern terminus of the North South Line until late November 2014. However, most trains terminate at Marina Bay instead of Marina South Pier possibly due to the low passenger demand at Marina South Pier. Passengers who are going to Marina South Pier should observe the television screens on the station platforms and listen to announcements which will notify commuters when a train that is terminating at Marina South Pier arrives. Circle Line trains that begin from here terminate at Stadium MRT station, with a few trains terminating at HarbourFront MRT station during peak hours. When the Thomson-East Coast MRT Line opened, it became 3-line interchange.
Marina Bay is mainly used as an interchange station as there are very little buildings nearby.
A: Marina Station Road, Marina South Pier, Marina Barrage, Bayfront Avenue Taxi Stand
B: Asia Square, Central Boulevard, Marina Bay City Gallery, Marina Bay Financial Centre, Marina Bay Link Mall, Marina Bay Residences, Marina Bay Sands, Marina Bay Suites, Marina Boulevard, The Promontory @ Marina Bay
It is possible to walk 500 meters to Downtown MRT station from Exit B of the station.
