MARINA BAY (skyline, waterfront pics)

RafflesCity · October 15th, 2005, 01:07 PM

A lot of excitement has been generated over the future developments planned for the area, which is now already a popular spot with its waterfront and views of the skyline.

So how about some pics all around the bay?!

Anyway here are some ideas of the future development:

Taken on Sheares Bridge in April this year. Didn't bother to do the panorama till now.

The Esplanade

Esplanade Bridge to Esplanade Park. Expecting Singapore Flyer to light up the rightmost space of this picture in future.

the bay seems to adopt a different setting when night falls

RafflesCity · October 15th, 2005, 04:44 PM

Lots of movement within the bay

Its fine! I quoted it because I agree..haha..but its more fun to get someone else' opinion on Capital Tower.

anyway great pics from the bay area...my favourite view is the view from the park..imagine how its going to change in future though

More pics taken from Esplanade bridge:

Pengui · October 15th, 2005, 06:01 PM

It changed a lot already with One Raffles Quay almost topped out :-)

I really like this pic:

thanks

did you spot the "Cheng Ho" Boat in trouble?

Pengui · October 15th, 2005, 06:14 PM

Uhoh, didn't spot it at first, thanks ^ ^
What a pity ! It reminds me that poor old France transatlantic ship (also known as "Norway" after it was bought over) is rotting at Port Klang in Malaysia... Really a beautiful vessel... More than 300m long. I should go there to take some pics of it some day.

Norway is in Malaysia?????????????

That is one of the great ocean liners of the past, almost the same league as the France.

Is it that one??????

Anywas, I like the most recent rendering of the new skyline!

Pengui · October 17th, 2005, 07:29 AM

Norway is actually the same ship :-)
The France was bought over in 1974 (?) by a norwegian cruise company. They renamed it and added a superstructure at the top. It stopped operating in 2003 after a boiler accident and was brought to Port Klang, where there were plans to sell it and transform it in a floating hotel-casino or to scrap it. But it seems the plans were abandonned so it should still be there. Maybe some of our malaysian forumers would have some ideas about the fate of the ship ?

Hmmm... Sorry for the off-topic ^ ^

Cliff · October 17th, 2005, 03:27 PM

Oooooooooo..I use to think they were sister ships, like Titanic and Olympic.

Did you know that the Jhare Viking(world's largest ship) was reparied in Singapore? The most amazing thing is that it could fit in Keppel Hrbour, when it can't even pass through the English Channel when fully laden.

off topic.

Pengui · October 18th, 2005, 03:29 AM

Is this a tanker ? Sorry I didn't buy the Guiness Book of Records yet... I know I should :-p Right now I suppose the world's largest cruise ship is newly built Queen Mary II ?

Mr.ASAP · October 18th, 2005, 05:17 PM

here is one

can't wait for the Sail to go up to ''accompany'' the ORQ if not the skylines look a little weird

about the Oil tanker yes there was one that was repaired in Singapore...........was in the Guiness book of records 1998 that i read that article from ......rather large ship

***Þróndeimr*** · October 18th, 2005, 06:54 PM

Yes, the "SS Norway" is in Malaysia (Image | 315.6m long/ 33,8m wide/2032 passangers). There was a fire on the ship in may 2003, which caused some demage. The owner Norwegian Cruise Line has not announced any planns for the ship yet as far as i can tell.

Anyway, Singapore skyline will be so unique and amazing when The Sail and all the other buildings around Marina Bay is completed.

The skyline of Marina Centre with historic Clifford Pier in foreground.
