Pulau Bukom, Singapore

Pulau Bukom (GPS: 1.23492, 103.76483) is one of the Southern Islands of Singapore. It is located to the southeast of Jurong Island and to the southwest of Sentosa Island. It is about 5 km off shore from the coast of Singapore.

Pulau Bukom is presently about 1.45 sq km in size, but may continue to expand through land reclamation. Today the island, along with the neighbouring isles, is being used as an oil refinery by Shell. A view of the island shows a collection of cylindrical tanks. It has served the petroleum industry going back to 1891, when the Shell company began using it to store kerosene.

Due to the sensitive nature of the industry, Pulau Bukom is restricted from casual visitors. Within its vicinity are Pulau Bukom Kechil, Pulau Anak Bukom and Pulau Busing, both also developed for the petrochemical industries.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
