Pulau Bukom Island

Address: Pulau Bukom, Jurong Island vicinity, Singapore

Website: https://www.mpa.gov.sg/

Pulau Bukom is an industrial island south of Singapore’s main island that hosts major oil storage, processing and marine terminal facilities. The site is a key node in Singapore’s petroleum and petrochemical industry and has been developed for industrial use rather than tourism.

The island’s facilities occupy most of the land area and the island is not open to the general public; access is restricted to authorised personnel and vessels. While not a visitor destination, the island can be observed from some distant coastal viewpoints on mainland Singapore and nearby islands.

Pulau Bukom sits in Singapore’s southern waters, a few kilometres south of the central urban area of Singapore, and forms part of the archipelago of small offshore islands used for port and industrial activities.

• Industrial facilities and restricted access: Home to large oil storage, processing and marine terminal facilities operated by international energy companies, with public access restricted for security and safety reasons.

Pulau Bukom is off Singapore’s southwestern coast near Jurong Island. Access is restricted and controlled by port and refinery authorities; public landings are not permitted without authorization. Observations are typically done from mainland vantage points or authorized industrial tours.

• Pulau Bukom is industrial-public access is restricted. Check with the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore for permitted visits.
• Views from Sentosa or the southern mainland can offer distant perspectives on the island's refinery infrastructure without breaching security zones.
• Avoid attempting landings or close approach by private craft-the area is heavily regulated due to oil and chemical facilities.
