Malaysia's largest fully integrated destination, Desaru Coast Ferry Terminal, the final catalytic component of the phase one development of Desaru Coast Destination Resorts, was officiated by His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim Ibni Almarhum Sultan Iskandar, the Sultan of Johor.
With tourism being a key economic sector for Johor, and some large industries operating in the eastern region of Johor, an international ferry terminal that eases cross-border travel will significantly enhance access. The growth in international arrivals is expected to have a positive economic multiplier impact on the businesses of tourism players, entrepreneurs and other industries that will potentially drive job creation.
Fully equipped with a Customs, Immigration and Quarantine complex and maritime facilities, Desaru Coast Ferry Terminal features the latest bidirectional immigration automated e-gate. The new generation e-gate offers a double swing door and enhanced security features, making immigration screening more efficient and effective at peak travel times. The ferry terminal is able to process 300 passengers at any given time. The Ferry Terminal hopes to serve two round trips from Singapore on Thursdays to Sundays and one round trip on Monday to Wednesday based on market demand.
Desaru Coast, listed as one of the World's Greatest Places of 2021 by TIME Magazine is home to a portfolio of globally renowned hotels and resorts, namely One&Only Desaru Coast, Anantara Desaru Coast Resort & Villas, The Westin Desaru Coast Resort, and Hard Rock Hotel Desaru Coast.
