Pulau Brani, Singapore
Pulau Brani (GPS: 1.26032, 103.83384) is a small island located off the southern coast of Singapore from Keppel Terminal. It is situated between mainland Singapore and
Sentosa Island.
The name Pulau Brani means "island of the brave". It has appeared in the 1828 sketch map of Singapore, where it is referred to as Po. Ayer Brani. There is a belief that it got that name because it was used as a burial place for early Malay warriors.
Today much of the island is occupied by the Brani Container Terminal. This is visible as one crosses the causeway towards Sentosa Island. Pulau Brani appears stacked high with containers, surrounded by numerous container cranes. The Brani Terminal Avenue connects the island to Keppel Harbour on the mainland.
